FAQ

Who rides AATA/TheRide buses in Ann Arbor?

TheRide serves a broad audience, heavily featuring students and faculty from the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University, as well as healthcare professionals commuting to the extensive Michigan Medicine complexes. Additionally, local residents and downtown workers rely on the system daily, providing advertisers with access to a highly educated, diverse, and active local demographic.

What is the advantage of adding bus shelters to an Ann Arbor campaign?

Bus shelters provide excellent hyper-local targeting capabilities. In a walkable city like Ann Arbor, beautifully illuminated bus shelter ads offer prolonged, eye-level exposure to high volumes of pedestrian foot traffic around campus areas and commercial districts, complementing the broader reach of moving bus ads.

Are there specific areas of the city that transit ads target effectively?

Yes, AATA routes cover the entirety of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. High-density areas such as the central campus, downtown Ann Arbor (Main Street and State Street), major transit hubs like the Blake Transit Center, and busy arterials like Washtenaw Avenue and Eisenhower Parkway are exceptionally well-covered by moving bus ads and fixed shelter placements.
