Signs on AT buses are the among the largest and most visible in the region

AT’s 33 buses typically travel more than 10,000 miles a week. An AT bus is seen every few minutes in each of the busiest areas of the Upper Valley — Hanover, Lebanon, Norwich, and Hartford. And with a large number of daily commuters in the region, that’s a lot of exposure for AT bus signs.

Avoid the clutter of other media and stand out with AT

A message on an AT bus is high impact, attractive, and has far less competition for attention, unlike other media. Plus that message is seen Monday to Friday, 52 weeks per year, building recall through repetition.

  • Communicate with thousands of commuters each day
  • Nearly a million loyal riders each year
  • Highly visible impact
  • A captive audience
  • Associate your brand with one of the Upper Valley’s most trusted organizations
  • Cost competitive, especially when compared to print advertising
  • Beat the media confusion and clutter
  • Reach an educated, affluent, influential population

And with 1.3 million visitor trips a year to the Upper Valley, you will reach potential customers who likely will not access other media.

Who Rides AT?

  • 83% of riders use AT 3 or more days per week
  • 72% have been riding longer than 1 year
  • 54% use AT to get to work

Sponsorship vs Advertising

Sponsorship: Messages are restricted to sponsor identification and a description of your product or services. Because of these limitations, sponsorship signs are offered at a lower cost.

Advertising: Messages have fewer limitations than sponsorship, allowing for the promotion of commercial interests by including qualitative and comparative language or other indications of savings or value as incentives to sell a product or service.
