Placing Advertisements in Passenger Transport

Classified Ads

Passenger Transport Classified Ads are public transit's marketplace. Every week, transit systems and transit businesses place requests for bids and proposals, help wanted notices, and for sale advertisements. And they get results.

Beginning with the September 8, 2008 issue, Passenger Transport will begin publishing on a bi-weekly schedule. Additionally, all classified ads which appear in the print version of Passenger Transport will now also appear in the online version. Passenger Transport classified ads will reach an audience of more than 15,000.

For quickest placement, FAX or e-mail a written copy and the requested date(s) of publication to Fax: 202-496-4898 or e-mail: ptads@apta.com.

Ad copy is NOT accepted by phone.

The deadline for receipt of classified advertising is 12:00 noon, Eastern Standard/Daylight Time, Monday, one week in advance of the publication date.
