[H+T--Friends] Agency rules on personnel using social media

by Phyllis Orrick

Hi everyone, We in the Health and Transportation Communications group are mulling which social media platforms to use (as would be apparent to all of you who filled out our surveys--thanks!) and one of our members remarked that USDOT policy has the effect of strongly discouraging employees from including their agency affiliation if they engage in social media as individuals, e.g., not as a social media staffer, but in a work-related context, e.g., a LinkedIn group for health and transportation. I posted that observation to the Facebook group, Transportation Social Media <transportationsocialmedia(a)groups.facebook.com>, (which, by the way, is a great sounding board and resource for any of you trying to get a grasp on social media in our field). Here are some excerpts from the replies I received. The main message seems to be that if you note that your opinions are your own and do not reflect that of your agency, you should be okay. I would be most interested to hear others' thoughts, not just on federal policies but those of states and local agencies. Best, Phyllis Phyllis, in my opinion, your friend should only worry about the issue if he is going to try to open social media accounts that are related to his transportation/federal government interests. For instance, if he wanted to start a twitter feed that focused and connected with transportation policy folks - he would want to note in his profile that his comments and opinions are his own and do not represent the thoughts and opinions of the federal agency for which he works. Phyllis Orrick<http://www.facebook.com/n/?phyllis.orrick&mid=6b4312dG433c96e1G2ed4072G85&b…>6:15am Sep 7 I guess the question my colleague had was how does USDOT define "make sure it's clear"? He seems to feel that he can't show his affiliation at all. Anyone else have thoughts? Or is there a written guidance, with examples of acceptable social media accounts that include USDOT affiliations--and not accounts run on behalf of an agency? [image: Todd Solomon]<http://www.facebook.com/n/?todd.solomon3&mid=6b4312dG433c96e1G2ed4072G85&bc…> Not true. USDOT has a social media policy like other fed agencies that asks employees to make sure it's clear they are not representing the agency in their personal social media activities--unless they are assigned to work on one of USDOT's 32 social accounts. -- Phyllis Orrick Communications Director Safe Transportation Research and Education Center<http://www.safetrec.berkeley.edu/> (SafeTREC) University of California Transportation Center <http://www.uctc.net/> (UCTC) Institute for Urban and Regional Development <http://www.iurd.berkeley.edu/> (IURD) California Active Transportation Safety Information Pages<http://catsip.berkeley.edu/> (CATSIP) 2614 Dwight Way UC Berkeley Berkeley CA 94720-7374 510-643-1779 @transsafe <https://twitter.com/#!/transsafe> @californiaUTC <https://twitter.com/#!/CaliforniaUTC> @IURDBerkeley <https://twitter.com/#!/IURDBerkeley> @trbhealth <https://twitter.com/#!/trbhealth>

Hi all, Here's a page on official USDOT policy on social media participation. If anyone can translate, that would be great.

I think I must have missed the initial email in the conference thread. What conference are you discussing? We are hoping to hold an (international) transport and health conference next year sometime in England, though the details have yet to be agreed.

[H+T--Friends] The American Way of Eating

by Krishnan Viswanathan

I am reading the book The American Way of Eating by Tracie McMillan and the central role played by logistics and distribution of fresh produce and access to it is highlighted very nicely in this book. Thought members of this list will find it very interesting and might spur some research ideas. Of course given that a majority of distribution centers is privately held getting data might be a tall order. Krishnan Viswanathan krisviswanathan(a)gmail.com
