School Bus Advertising??

During the discussion on the 'pay-to-ride' program, Councilman LeBlanc asked the Committee if the busing contracts had already been signed, and if advertising was included in the contracts.

Chairman Jeff Roy responded that no, the contracts were signed already and do not include advertising. The sub committee working on advertising revenues have not completed their work so while it is not in there yet, it does not preclude it being there in the future.

Advertising on school buses?

What kind?
Would this be advertising inside the bus targeted to the students?
Would this be advertising outside the bus targeted to the community?

What would be advertised?

I don't know if the money this would generate would be worth it.


What do you think?
  1. Should there be advertising on school buses?
  2. What restrictions, if any, would you put on a program like this?

    I think the advertising benefits both the businesses and School district as long as the Districts receive a majority of the funds. http://www.mediaadvertisinginmotion.com is a company that has built a large inventory of participating districts. I have spoken with the founder of this company and Media-AIM makes sure that the districts have the final say in the type of advertising that goes on the school buses.
