TRB Social Media: Usage of Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn
TRB uses Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to connect our audience to transportation research. Social media also helps TRB to better understand how its reports and products are being used.
TRB’s Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn pages disseminate information related to all of TRB’s subject areas. TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program’s (ACRP) LinkedIn group allows its members to share opinions, comments, and remarks on specific ACRP publications.
The following information summarizes the usage and policy of TRB’s Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn pages:
Who will TRB follow or mention on Twitter?
TRB will follow individuals and organizations that dedicate their sites to information about transportation. Being followed, re-tweeted, or mentioned on a Follow Friday (#FF) by TRB does not imply endorsement of any kind. The opinions expressed in items re-tweeted on TRB's Twitter page are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Transportation Research Board or the National Academies.

TRB Facebook and LinkedIn Page Commenting Policy
We encourage you to use the commenting feature on TRB's Facebook and LinkedIn pages to write about how you use TRB reports, ask questions about transportation research, and share your experiences from TRB meetings. A TRB representative will ensure that comments are constructive and respectful. TRB retains the discretion to remove comments that are determined to be inappropriate for the page.
Comments of an inappropriate nature that may be deleted by TRB include:
- Profane, offensive, or discriminatory language
- Inflammatory comments or comments intended to threaten or bully individuals
- Off-topic comments that are not related to transportation or transportation research, or do not pertain to TRB or the National Academies
- Promotion of a company, product, or individual, including comments that intend to drive fans to an external link for commercial gain or spam
- Comments left by a false profile, misleading, or created with the intent to conceal the user’s identity or to falsely assume the identity of another person
- Comments that disclose personal identifying information about anyone, including the commenter
The opinions expressed by those who post comments on TRB's social media pages are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of TRB or the National Academies.
ACRP’s LinkedIn Group
ACRP established a LinkedIn discussion group to facilitate the ability for airport industry professionals to share opinions, comments, and remarks about specific ACRP publications.
Announcements, solicitations, and innovations in the program are shared with the LinkedIn group. Since members of this LinkedIn group provide ACRP with access to their resumes, ACRP may approach individuals for project panel assignments if the program is unable to satisfy panel requirements from the nominations received for a particular project.
The ACRP Manager moderates the conversations that occur within the ACRP LinkedIn group.
To become a member of the ACRP LinkedIn group, please sign in or register an account with LinkedIn. Then, visit the “ACRP - Airport Cooperative Research Program” group page and select “Join Group” to send a request to become a member of the group. Requests to join the group are reviewed and vetted by the ACRP Manager.
