ADVERTISE WITH EMTA
EMTA will be implementing a new media kit as of 1/1/2025. All advertisers should be aware of changes made to pricing. 2025 EMTA MEDIA KIT
Buses are moving billboards circulating in the busiest areas of the city. Bus advertising offers exposure to local commuters, drivers, and pedestrians. These “moving billboards” are typically displayed on the exterior of the bus and come in a variety of sizes and high-impact formats to reach your audience. Bus ads move throughout residential and core business areas, delivering your message throughout the marketplace all day, every day. Buses go where people go!
EMTA has adopted a Commercial Advertising Policy as of February 2024. All advertisers, agencies and potential clients must be aware for this policy.
Commercial Advertising – EMTA Guidelines
Important advertising information-
Production, installation and removal of ads are a one time fee paid directly to a third party printer. The prices quoted in the media kit are from our preferred printing partner, but advertisers are welcome to use any insured shop that can handle the labor.
EMTA is unable to sell specific bus routes. That means your message will potentially canvas all of Erie County! Please reference the system map to see the full advertising coverage. When planning a campaign, please note all buses must travel throughout downtown Erie, as that is where the EMTA joint operations facility is located. If a campaign is targeting a specific area, shelter locations are available throughout the county.
Any advertising inquiries may take up to 72 hours for a response. Please plan for a minimum 2 week turnover time between first advertising inquiry and campaign launch.
