Advertising with Port Authority

Port Authority provides a network of public transportation services to persons traveling within a 730 square-mile area, including the city of Pittsburgh and all of Allegheny County. Port Authority has a fleet of nearly 800 buses, 60 light rail vehicles (LRVs) and 90 mini-buses. Port Authority is one of the nations's largest and most diversified public transit agencies.

Every day, Port Authority connects thousands of people to their jobs, their classes, their lives. But the bus and "T" aren't just moving people.

They're moving minds.

Our riders are traveling inside some amazingly effective advertising vehicles. On three sides of a typical bus, you've seen posters promoting everything from financial institutions to florists. And, you can't really miss the full wrap buses that are true traffic-stoppers.

These "advertising vehicles" reach out and grab the attention of thousands of people often several times each day. Downtown pedestrians. Parkway drivers. Suburban residents. Your target audience. In a format that breaks through the clutter and makes a big impression.

Add the posters inside the bus and "T" that are read by a diverse, captive audience of professionals, blue-collar workers, students and more, and you begin to see why Port Authority deserves a place in your media mix.

We've put together this kit to show you a sampling of the options you have to choose from. As you go through them, think about which might be the best match for your message, whether you're rolling out a new offer or reinforcing your brand. And, feel free to pursue your own ideas; we can customize a special size and format to fit your concept.

Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or to set up a time that's convenient for you to talk about rolling out a transit campaign for your business. We'll work with you every step of the way to help make sure everything's moving in the right direction.

So you can start moving minds.
