Looking for a new way to get your message to your target market?  Try advertising on the side of a SamTrans bus.  Buses travel throughout San Mateo County and into parts of San Francisco and Palo Alto.  If you're interested in advertising on bus, please contact Cheri Thornley at Lamar Transit, 408-216-5640 or cthornley@lamar.com.  Information on the services Lamar offers also is available at www.bayareabusads.com.

Interior Adcards

SamTrans places adcards in its buses in support of non-profit organizations wanting to make customers aware of important issues.  SamTrans also partners with some sponsors as a way to increase ridership to various venues and events.

Non-profit agencies that want to advertise a public service announcement may request space to display interior adcards on SamTrans buses. The non-profit agency is responsible for producing the adcards. Links to the SamTrans advertising policy and request form are provided above.

SamTrans also may participate in cross-promotional advertising with companies or venues located near its service.

Adcards will be posted for a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 90 days. There is a $50 posting fee required before posting. Detachments or tear-aways are not permitted on the cards. All adcard copy and design must be approved by the SamTrans Marketing Department prior to printing.
