Use the Public Messages functions to disseminate information to the riding public. The distribution methods include the myAvail myStop® web page, signs (LED and LCD), social media (Facebook), and subscription alerts via e-mail and Text Messaging (SMS). Properties that have the myAvail IVR package can insert a message into the initial IVR announcement through a text to speech feature.
NOTE: For specific agencies, the Public Messages functions are available in Avail’s Enterprise Transit Management Suite (ETMS) beginning with myAvail 7.4.5. To access this functionality, log in to ETMS. From the Product Suite drop-down menu, choose Operations/Public Messages. For these agencies, Ad Hoc vehicle and Sign announcements continue to be available in myAvail on the Public Messages tab.
