At every CD Restop rest stop, alongside the resting area, EV charging and shelves of Vietnamese goods, there is something few places offer: a digital bulletin screen placed right in the lobby and the community information corner. This is not an advertising board. It is where residents, drivers and travelling workers who stop by can immediately catch the information that matters most to daily life.
The rest stop becomes an information relay station
The screens display administrative notices, newly effective policies, warnings about fraud, natural disasters and epidemics, vaccination schedules, local job listings and community events. On a long journey, even a few minutes' pause is enough for someone to learn about a policy that has just changed or a warning worth heeding.
A clear line: public content approved by the authorities
CD Restop keeps strictly to its role — operating the display infrastructure, nothing more. Public content is provided and approved by local government and mass organisations; the company only ensures the screens run reliably. A two-layer review process, together with priority time slots for policy content, keeps community information first and never lets commercial advertising crowd it out. We accompany grassroots authorities and stay close to the goals of social welfare and the green transition, rather than replacing any official information channel.
No one left behind
Not everyone uses a smartphone. That is why every site also keeps a parallel paper bulletin on a traditional notice board, and on-site staff are ready to help older visitors look up each item. Technology here is meant to widen access, not to raise a new barrier.
Bringing policy to the hardest places to reach
Since 1 July 2025, the two-tier local government model — with 34 provinces and cities and 3,321 commune-level units — has created ward and commune areas larger than before. A wider area means it is harder to bring information to every resident, especially to workers who are constantly on the move. Sitting along transport corridors, the rest stop becomes a natural point of contact for carrying policy even to the hardest-to-reach groups.
All of this runs on a single centralised management platform: each locality is granted the right to post within its own area, and every piece of content leaves an audit trail. The number of posts aired and their reach are compiled in a quarterly report sent back to the locality, so authorities can see clearly how their information has reached the public.
