What is school bus advertising?
School bus advertising is a relatively new concept, implemented in several states right now currently. It uses traditional bus advertising methods to help businesses raise awareness, but places these advertisements on school buses to help local school districts raise revenue.
Who sees school bus advertising?
Potentially anyone who is outside when school buses travel. This includes fellow commuters, pedestrians, construction workers, joggers, tourists, families, teachers, and students, just to name a few. School buses travel from three to eight hours and up to 60+ miles per day, capturing some of the most active traffic periods. The potential for exposure is virtually limitless!
Why should school districts participate in school bus advertising?
Schools that struggle with budget deficits could reap a new source of revenue that doesn’t require any additional equipment or investment on their part. Instead of putting staff and important school programs at risk, school bus advertising could help these schools solve problems by growing income opportunities.

Why should businesses participate in school bus advertising?
Among the many benefits for businesses includes a great advertising investment that garners more impressions for a lower cost than most traditional advertising. School bus signs are exposed to consumers longer than other advertising mediums and the opportunities for targeted marketing are second to none.
What restrictions are there for advertisers?
Businesses are not allowed to place advertisements promoting any kind of adult or age-inappropriate service including but not limited to alcohol, tobacco, gambling, sex-related entertainment, or political content. Advertisers must also adhere to state-sanctioned restrictions regarding the size and location of advertisements.
