BACKGROUND: The Transportation and Public Works Department, Transit Division is preparing to launch an Advertising Program. The program will begin with the sale of ad space on the rear of buses and paratransit vehicles only, and in the future incorporate the sale of space on the sides of the vehicles and on bus shelters.
