Under the plans, still in the earliest stages, the state would offer free Internet service for travelers at the rest stops.
I thought IDOT Spokesman Matt Vanover's comment was appropriate for Williamson County.
Vanover said it could be particularly useful for motorists and truckers who are traveling on long trips. Someone crossing into the state from Kentucky could stop at the Interstate 57 rest area across the Ohio River from Paducah and look up which hotels are up the road in cities like Marion or Mt. Vernon.
The state is trying to figure out how to do this without any cost to the state. Likely, a private firm would offer limited free service and charge for longer times online.
