NORFOLK, Va. – Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) has completed the installation of digital displays at three Elizabeth River Ferry docks, providing passengers with information about schedules and service.
The displays can be updated remotely to provide the latest information about weather delays or other service disruptions. The screens include a ferry route map to help visitors and first-time users.
Integrated speakers enable HRT to make announcements directly to passengers, keeping them informed and connected.
“This new addition to our ferry docks is part of our ongoing investment in new technology to improve the customer experience,” said William E. Harrell, President and CEO. “We’re looking forward to a busy spring and summer season, and these new screens and signage will provide a welcoming gateway to our ferry service.”
In addition, ferry shelters at Waterside in Norfolk and North Landing and High Street in Portsmouth now feature bold new signage identifying the ferry stop.
The shelters, unveiled last June, are designed with both residents and visitors in mind. The vibrant waterfront shelters offer protection from the elements while enhancing the customer experience with sweeping views of the Elizabeth River.
The shelters were designed and constructed to resemble cargo ship containers, reflecting the working waterfront along the Elizabeth River. Each shelter is painted in different hues to reflect HRT’s blue and green brand colors.
