Launch of GovDelivery Digital Subscription Management Service

Dear Friend of VTA:

I am pleased to announce that on Wednesday, February 25, 2009, VTA will launch our new Digital Subscription Management (DSM) service.  This service, provided through GovDelivery (www.govdelivery.com), provides VTA with an exciting new tool to enhance our efforts to communicate with customers, media, Board and committee members, and other stakeholders interested in VTA projects and services.  

What is GovDelivery?

GovDelivery allows you to “subscribe” to VTA web pages that are of interest to you, and when information on that page changes, you will be notified via email or text message.  Imagine, receiving news of major service interruptions, or upcoming public meetings, in the comfort of your home, or while waiting for your train.  In addition, subscribers can indicate general areas of interest, such as a particular construction project, allowing VTA to send that individual targeted bulletins and eNewsletters related to his or her area of interest.

How does it work?

This new service allows VTA to “push” information out to subscribers, so they no longer have to check our website to see what’s new, or wait to receive “snail mail” information updates.  This proactive communication tool saves money too, reducing printing costs, eliminating the redundancy of being on multiple mailing lists, and automating much of the work required for sending notifications.

Sign me up!

Subscribing to GovDelivery is fast and simple!  Starting February 25, you can visit the VTA website (www.vta.org) and click on the envelope icon to sign up for this valuable new service!

Once you subscribe, you can manage your subscription account to fit your needs.  Customers will be able to select from dozens of topics of interest, choose to be notified by email or text message, and even select a delivery frequency that best serves them.  If your needs or interests change, you can quickly modify your own subscription account with a very simple and intuitive user interface on the GovDelivery website.

I hope you will enjoy this new service and that it will help you stay up to date with all the exciting projects and services VTA has to offer.

If you have additional questions about this new service, or have suggestions for improving the service, please contact Patrick Griffin, VTA’s Public Affairs and Customer Information Manager, at (408) 321-7506.

General Manager
