Have you ever wished for a traveling advertisement? If so, advertising on Community Transit vehicles is for you. Our vehicles go all over the New River Valley – from our main streets to the back roads of Giles and Floyd counties! Community Transit advertising reaches customers where they live, work, play, and commute. Each of our vehicles averages over 2,000 miles per month!

We have 9 vehicles that operate on several routes that serve our local community on a regular basis and we rotate our vehicles from route to route. This means that your ad will be featured in many different locations within our service area. This puts your brand before customers who may be difficult to reach by advertising in the “same old place” day after day.

Community Transit has ads available on the rear facing, curb facing, and street facing windows of our body-on-chassis buses. All windows on the same side of the vehicle are sold together as a group. We have several different body styles and window configurations within our fleet.

Pricing

Rear Facing Advertisement

Our rear facing ad space gives you both of the rear facing windows. This space provides maximum exposure for your brand in congested town driving situations by engaging customers in slow moving traffic and at stop lights. Your ad will also be seen by cars traveling behind the vehicle along our scenic country roads and interstates. The size of this ad space varies between approximately 4 and 6 square feet, depending on the style of the vehicle.

Curb Side Advertisement

Our curb side ads give you all of the windows on the curb facing side of the vehicle. This space maximizes exposure of your brand for pedestrians in town and in our rural service areas. This space also performs well on the road – connecting your brand with drivers and passengers on two-lane roads and in the turning lane. Our buses are tall! These ads can easily be seen above many vehicles on the road. Community Transit vehicles have a variety of window configurations. This space varies in size from approximately 12 to 14 square feet, depending on the style of the vehicle.

Street Side Advertisements

Our street side advertisements give you all of the street side windows on the vehicle. This space is great for connecting with pedestrians in town and country. Rising high above traffic, this space is also great on the open road. These are the largest ads we have available. If your ad must be BIG, this is the space for you. Our vehicles have a variety of window configurations. This space varies in size from approximately 18 to 25 square feet depending on the style of the vehicle.
