What is it?
The State of Nebraska and the Nebraska Department of Roads are offering a new free email subscription service to enable website visitors to receive notifications on topics of interest.
Emails: This service will send an email when the information on a web page the subscriber has selected has been updated. The email option is free.
Mobile: Subscribers may also choose to have notifications sent to their cell phones as a text message. Standard text message rates apply if this option is chosen.

Q: What is the
icon?
A: When you see the icon, you can click on it to subscribe
to the email and mobile notification service, developed by
GovDeliveryŽ. You can subscribe to one or several topics of
information available on the website that are provided through the
notification service.
Q: How does
GovDeliveryŽ work?
A: GovDeliveryŽ is a web-based email subscription
management system that allows you to subscribe to news and information
updates on the NDOR website. Whenever information is updated
on an NDOR web page you have subscribed to, you will receive an email and/or
mobile alert. You may customize and manage your subscription profile in
order to receive exactly the types of information you desire, and you
may cancel your subscriptions at any time.
Q: Will it cost me
anything to subscribe?
A: No. The subscription service is offered as a public service
from the State of Nebraska and NDOR. The only costs that may apply are for text messages sent to
your mobile device, based on your cell phone plan.
Q: What is a
“profile,” and why do I need to create one?
A: A profile contains your email address, an optional
password, and the selections for which you wish to receive email
updates. You can also add a secondary email if you wish to receive
notifications to another account. Your profile tells NDOR which email updates you wish to
receive.
NDOR is also asking for your City, County, State & Zip. That would be used only if we need to send an Special Alert to a specific area within Nebraska. We could define the area by that information.
You can change your profile at any time by adding or deleting subscriptions, changing the frequency of email notifications, or changing your email address.
Q: How can I change
or reset my email address or password?
A: At the bottom of each email you receive is a link called
"Manage Preferences". You can change your email address by clicking on
the link in that section called "Manage Your Subscriptions or
Unsubscribe".
If you choose to set up a password, but forget or want to change it, you can use the “Forgot your Password?” section to have a reset email sent to your address. The email will contain a link allowing you to set a new password.
Q: How will I
receive the updates?
A: An update will be delivered to your inbox or mobile phone when
the information that you have subscribed to has been updated on the
web page. Remember, mobile info may incur a charge set by your carrier.
Emails are free.
Q: Do I need any
special software to subscribe and/or receive updates?
A: Updates will be delivered via email, so a valid email address
is a requirement. Most updates also include a link to a web page, so a
web browser is also needed.
Q: How often will I
receive email notices? How often will I receive mobile notices if I
choose that option?
A: You will receive email notices whenever information has been
updated on the web page(s) to which you subscribe. If you want to receive a
notice immediately when information is updated on any of the pages in
your profile, you should select “Send immediately” under the “Change
Email Frequency Preference” option. If you prefer to receive fewer
email notices, you may select one of the delivery preference options to receive
the notices from all of your subscriptions in one daily, weekly,
or monthly transmission.
Mobile notifications are always sent immediately.
Emergency notifications will be sent immediately, regardless of your frequency preferences.
Q: I subscribed
to receive email alerts, but I haven’t gotten any yet. Why not?
A: You should receive a “New Subscriber” email as soon as you
subscribe for each item you select. To ensure that you receive your
subscription emails, you may need to adjust your Spam settings, or
follow the instructions from your email provider on how to prevent our
emails from being marked "Spam" or "Junk Mail." If you received the “New
Subscriber” email, but have not received anything further,
the item(s)
you selected may not have been updated recently, and there has been no
need to notify you.
Q:
Will you be adding content I can subscribe to?
A: Yes, We are going to be adding
more pages on a regular basis. Suggestions for content may be submitted
by clicking
HERE. Make sure you specify the content,
including the web page URL or describe the exact location of the page on
the NDOR website.
