Notas del editor
- Today, May 9, we are launching our marketing and outreach campaign for BusTracker with a “phase 1” – or a “soft launch” As mentioned before, the BusTracker is now available for our existing and new customers at fairfaxconnector.com. As we move forward with the system roll-out, we would like to encourage riders to check out the system, test it, and provide us feedback on how they like it. The “phase 2”, - or the “hard launch” of our campaign will kick-off in June through multiple channels including events, movie theater advertising, street decals, social media, and more. The last thing I would like to mention is that we are making a concerted effort to reach the hard-to-reach populations including people with limited English proficiency by working with our various departments that engage with these populations, as well as doing targeted multicultural media outreach.
