IBTTA kicks off its monthly Twitter Chat series with special guest Lloyd Brown, Communications Director with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Join us for an hour of fast-paced discussion, debate, and learning moderated by Pat Jones, IBTTA’s Executive Director and CEO.

The topic, “Making the Case for Federal Investment in Transportation: Moving the Public from ‘No’ to ‘Know.”

Brown will address these questions:

  • Why is it so important that the public recognize the need for more transportation funding?
  • How has public education regarding transportation funding been accomplished in the past?
  • What efforts to educate the public have worked and what efforts haven't?
  • How does the advent of social media impact what organizations should be doing to educate the public?
  • What new methods do you believe would be effective in educating the public about the need for transportation funding?

Brown is responsible for all facets of AASHTO communications including strategic messaging, media relations, social media outreach and web site administration.

Previously he managed a 70-member, state-wide communications team for the Washington State Department of Transportation which redefined the agency’s relationship with the public and was recognized as a national leader in the development and implementation of social media tools.

To join the conversation, follow the #transpochat hashtag from your Twitter account, or log on to TweetChat.

IBTTA is launching this monthly Twitter Chat series to help build the online community of highway transportation professionals—and, over the next few months, to help the community focus its attention on the highway reauthorization debate in Congress.
