Social Media

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGED BY MTA

Recognizing that Internet based social media tools can provide opportunities for enhanced communication with customers, employees, and other stakeholders; Mason Transit Authority (MTA) supports the use of social media by authorized personnel to support its mission in an ongoing and proactive manner.

 

MTA’s use of social media is for the general purposes of creating community and trust through the following:

 

  • Quick dissemination of emergency information.
  • Promotion of MTA sponsored events, or events in which MTA is a participant.
  • Communication of marketing or promotional messages to enhance MTA programs.
  • Employee recruitment and recognition.
  • Referring followers to information posted on MTA’s website.
  • Promotion of transit-related PSAs that are generated by federal, state, or local governments and non-profits or other content directly related to public transit.
