Public Service Announcements (PSAs) may be placed on City transit furniture free of charge. Please note that while there is no cost to post and display PSAs, there is still a cost associated with printing.
Access to bus benches, shelters, and Public Amenity Kiosks (PAK) for PSA campaigns is subject to availability, so no specific location is guaranteed, and your PSA may be relocated from time to time. Your start date will be subject to availability, as the vendor may not have any structure available in your desired location(s) on the selected date. Request should be made 8 weeks in advance.
This service is only available to City Departments, Council Offices, Neighborhood Councils, and other non-profit community entities sponsored by City Departments and Council Offices.
