DESCRIPTION

A transit agency in Colorado is seeking a vendor to provide advertising services across its transit system assets. The scope includes management of advertising space on agency-owned benches, shelters, and interior and exterior bus ad placements.

The available inventory includes 165 out-of-home advertising opportunities on benches and shelters. Interior bus advertising is available on low-floor buses used for fixed-route service, which feature curved longitudinal advertising racks running above the windows from the front to the rear of the bus on both sides. Additional advertising space is also available on buses used for both fixed-route and paratransit services.

Questions are due by July 20, 2026. The resulting contract will have a term of two years.
