Media Relations

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) Communications & Marketing teams are a resource for media outlets, independent journalists and the general public seeking information about our work. Press Releases and recent stories can be located on the Media Center page. 


Photography and Video recording on JTA property

Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) facilities and properties are public, with the exception of secure areas. Members of the media and the general public are free to photograph and/or record video in the public areas of our properties, and do not need to seek permission as long as doing so: 

  • Does not interfere with JTA operations
  • Does not interfere with an employee’s completion of their official duties

Restricted areas that require secure badge access are not public spaces, in accordance with JTA policy. If a member of the media or public would like to inquire about accessing those areas, they should reach out to the media relations contacts listed below.

JTA Social Media Policy

The JTA has established a Social Media Policy for employees and customers to follow. Through officially branded social media accounts, the JTA provides updates on our services, news and information related to our work. None of the information posted to a JTA social media page is exclusive to, or only accessible through those channels. The most current information about JTA services is located at www.jtafla.com. This policy is subject to change. 

For specific questions about JTA services or to locate legal public notices, visitors should continue to access www.jtafla.com or reach out to JTA Customer Service at customer-svc@jtafla.com or (904) 630-3100 during normal business hours 

Communications made via comments on any JTA social media channel or page will in no way constitute a legal or official notice or commentary to the JTA for any purpose. The JTA cannot attest to the accuracy of all the information provided by third parties or any other linked sites. Posted comments and images do not necessarily represent the views of the JTA, and do not constitute an endorsement on behalf of the JTA.

Individual users are responsible for the content they post on JTA social media pages through comments, including text, video, photos, gifs, or other material. The JTA does not agree with or endorse every comment made on our social media pages.

Your comments are welcome at any time, however, the JTA will maintain a respectful and welcoming discourse in our comment sections as the JTA’s moderators deem necessary. The JTA’s social media staff uses restraint in removing or hiding comments but will so as a last resort.
