PORTER – The South Shore transit line operator said Wednesday it has launched a new website as part of a campaign to boost the number of leisure weekday riders to Chicago.
The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District is working with Valparaiso-based marketing firm AC Inc. to operate the new website which provides information on attractions and events in Chicago in addition to basic information such as where to park to ride the train and how to pay.
Visitors also can sign up for a free membership and receive an e-newsletter about the latest happenings in the city. Through the membership, people can enter to win monthly prizes such as free tickets to events or attractions, food or other amenities compliments of NICTD and its participating partners.
The winner for the Chicago Fun Package for June will receive roundtrip train fare, eight tickets to a Chicago Architectural Foundation walking tour, and a $100 gift certificate to any Lettuce Entertain You Restaurant. The value of the package is $400.
