MDOT SHA Social Media Community Guidelines

While Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) accounts on social networks are open forums, they are also family-friendly online communities, so please keep the language in your messages clean.

MDOT SHA also asks that you follow our community posting guidelines.

  • No solicitations or advertisements. No promotions or endorsements of any financial, commercial or non-governmental agency.
  • Imagery shared with any MDOT SHA social media accounts must be owned by the user. No copyrighted or trademarked images or graphics not owned by the user.

  • You participate at your own risk, taking personal responsibility for your posts and comments, your username and any information that you provide.
