Our office deals with both internal and external communications on a variety of issues. The most significant function is getting information to the public. Externally, it is our job to inform the public about road construction, detours, maintenance projects and snow removal efforts.
Media relations is a major part of our job.
We receive 30-50 media interview or research requests per month. We issue news releases on road construction, detours, traffic delays, employee achievements and new technology to improve efficiency. We keep the website up to date on construction and snow information. Our office also coordinates legislative briefings as well as ribbon cuttings, ground breakings and news conferences.
