FYI ----- Original Message ----- From: City of Tallahassee To: evans-lynn@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 8:58 AM Subject: City of Tallahassee News Release - StarMetro Updates Website with New System Information StarMetro Updates Website with New System Information Today, customers can visit Talgov.com/StarMetro to view information on StarMetro's new decentralized system, which takes effect on July 11. The updated website features route maps and timetables for the new system. "Until the launch of the new system, customers will also be able to access our current route information," said Ron Garrison, executive director of StarMetro. "Even though we are two months away from the launch of the new system, we felt that it was necessary to begin publicizing the new route maps and time tables." In the near future, StarMetro will implement additional changes to help improve the customer experience. Closer to the launch of the new system, two new web applications - trip planning and online fare purchase - will also launch. With the trip planning application, StarMetro customers will be able to type in a beginning point, end point and arrival time; the application will then relay to the customer a detailed travel itinerary using StarMetro's new system. With the online fare purchase application, StarMetro customers will be able to purchase a 31-day fare card using their personal credit card via Talgov.com/StarMetro. For more information, please contact StarMetro at 891-5200 or visit Talgov.com/StarMetro. Other ways to view information include liking StarMetro's official Facebook page at Facebook.com/starmetrotransit and following StarMetro's official Twitter page at Twitter.com/ridestarmetro.
