Houston TranStar gets Twitter feeds for all freeways

Yes, I know I told you way back in February that Houston TranStar was on Twitter. But I have to post again on the fact that the agency has gone Twitter crazy! Check out all of the new feeds:


Houston TranStar currently offers a main Twitter site that displays reported incidents for all roadways in addition to sites for individual freeways. For a list of all Houston TranStar's Twitter sites, visit http://traffic.houstontranstar.org/twitter/ .

"Twitter is a great way to give travelers the quickest, simplest news about what's going on with the roads they travel most often," said Jack Whaley, Director of Houston TranStar. "When it's rush hour, getting through an entire traffic update on the radio may be more information

than the person wants; Twitter cuts through the irrelevant and unnecessary and focuses on what's important to that person."
