TxDOT now cruises on Twitter and Facebook

I told you how Houston's TranStar was on Twitter. Now it is joined by another group obsessed with roads - The Texas Department of Transportation"

To better inform and engage the public, TxDOT is now using several social media platforms to discuss area highways and projects, statewide programs, and other transportation-related initiatives in Texas. TxDOT joins the chorus of tweets on Twitter, a micro-blog that allows the department to provide important travel updates and news in 140 characters or less. TxDOT also has its own Facebook page and YouTube channel to involve individuals in a quick, accessible and personable manner.

You can become TxDOT's Facebook fan, Twitter follower and YouTube surfer by visiting www.txdot.gov/public_involvement/social_media.htm.
