Arizona transportation agency learns how to drive traffic on social media: Mention Bigfoot
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An Arizona agency's posting about Bigfoot is leaving its mark on social media.
The Arizona Department of Transportation Facebook post from Jan. 1 reads: "We might have spotted a family of sasquatches on SR 260 near Heber this afternoon. What do you think?"
Accompanying it is a couple of traffic camera photos showing a blurry cluster of figures on the side of the road.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}As of Tuesday, it had been shared more than 3,700 times and had nearly 1,000 comments.
Spokesman Tom Herrmann says his agency tries to drive traffic to its Twitter account using humor — a strategy that has helped them gain nearly 52,000 followers.
The mysterious figures haven't budged in days, leading Herrmann to believe they're something a lot more down-to-Earth than the original post suggests: shrubbery.
