WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) - Today state officials unveiled a new tool designed to make traveling in Rhode Island even easier. 

The new interactive kiosk is located inside the Interlink at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick. Its situated right outside the car rental area in the connector walkway. 

The goal of this technology is to make the airport more visitor friendly and attract more business to the Ocean State. 

Rental car customers can go right up to the kiosk and its 12 flat screen monitor display to get directions, reserve a hotel room, monitor traffic and check public transportation routes. 

Officials hope that having the airport, highway, and Amtrak all in one place will act as a marketing tool that will draw in business. 

Recently, Rhode Island was featured in Delta's Sky Magazine. 

Gov. Chafee is praising the article and says he hopes to take old land nearby and turn it into a visitor center for big companies to come in and use. 

On Wednesday, officials announced that the commuter rail will soon start servicing the Wickford Junction stop. It's expected to begin stopping there this spring.
