Make Sure You're Noticed in Kentucky's Largest City

Welcome to Derby City, a vibrant hub of culture, commerce, and community along the Ohio River. Louisville’s strategic location as a transportation and logistics hub makes it a key gateway to major markets, while its diverse population spans the bustling downtown districts and thriving suburban neighborhoods. It’s home to world-famous attractions like Churchill Downs, the Louisville Slugger Museum, and a renowned bourbon scene that draws millions of visitors every year. 

Transit advertising in Louisville allows your message to reach the greatest number of people as they move through the city during major events like the Kentucky Derby, Forecastle Festival, or Thunder Over Louisville—and into neighborhoods where other forms of advertising simply can’t go.

Paratransit Ads

If you’re looking for a way to market your message to seniors or consumers with disabilities, consider paratransit advertising. These formats reach key audience groups and location areas such as medical facilities.

KCATA paratransit vehicles are all over the Kansas City Metro Area, and are a great way to reach a wide audience at a low cost.

Shelter Advertising

Shelter advertising benefits from being a known location, but also with waiting transit riders, not to mention walk/drive by traffic.

Leverage TARC Bus and Shelter Ads

 

TARC bus advertising reaches key areas of Greater Louisville daily as routes change to serve the community. Unlike a single radio station, streaming network, or highway billboard, the consistent and cumulative reach of transit ads makes them an essential format for local, regional, and national advertisers to include in their campaigns.

Support Louisville Transit

The majority of media spend for these campaigns goes directly to TARC, supporting their budget and initiatives. This investment not only helps sustain vital public transit services but also reinforces advertisers’ connection to the local community, showcasing their support for essential infrastructure that benefits residents and visitors alike.

Reach Louisville Locals 

Many prominent outdoor advertising formats are located along I-71 and I-265, which is great for reaching those driving through the area, but what about city and suburban streets?
 

Transit advertising on buses and shelters offers eye-level visibility and tremendous reach into these hard-to-reach areas and neighborhoods that typically don’t allow for other forms of outdoor advertising.

“When looking at options to get our business out to the world, it's hard to deny the impact of a moving billboard! Out of all the ways we advertise, our transit ads are consistently one of the ones people tell me they see the most! Adsposure has been a great partner and I know their first priority is making sure my business is being seen as much as possible for the best cost.”
