Can I target specific markets or neighborhoods?

Yes, within what each format allows. In Louisville, shelter posters let you choose specific locations. Buses are assigned across the TARC system each day, so bus ads build presence across the city rather than on one street. Tell our team which neighborhoods matter and we will recommend the formats that fit.

What types of transit advertising does Adsposure offer?

Adsposure offers a variety of out of home advertising solutions, ranging from interior and exterior bus advertising to street furniture and stations. In Louisville, that means Full Wraps, Full Sides, Bus Billboards, Bus Banners, Supertails, Full Backs, interior cards, ceiling banners, interior takeovers, shelter posters and paratransit exterior ads.

How much does transit advertising cost?

Cost depends on the format, how many vehicles or locations you book, the market and how long you run. Graphics are produced for each campaign, so production is a separate cost. Campaigns run a minimum of four weeks, and we recommend three months or more to build meaningful presence. Tell us your goal and timeline and we will show you what is available and what it costs.

How do I choose the right advertising format?

Start with your goal. Shelters put your message where people wait. Buses give community-wide reach. Interior cards reach riders during the trip. Our team will match the mix to your goal and timing.

Can Adsposure support campaigns across multiple markets?

Yes. Adsposure works with transit authorities in markets from California to North Carolina, and formats vary by market. We can plan one campaign across several markets, including nearby Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Indianapolis.

How do I get started with an Adsposure campaign?

Reach out to our team (link to the quote form). We confirm what is available, you reserve your space, our creative team adapts your artwork or builds custom creative, and the campaign is scheduled and installed. Space is first come, first served, and the first month of media and production are due when you reserve.

Why it works here

One billboard. Or every Louisville route.

A billboard stays on one corner. A TARC bus wrapped in your brand moves past Churchill Downs on Derby week, through bourbon district, down Bardstown Road. It finds people going places.

One wrap covers the Highlands, downtown and Derby.
Bourbon tourists, Derby crowds, daily commuters all season.
No two rides past your ad look the same.
Your brand moves through Louisville the way people actually do.

Create Presence

Transit advertising across Louisville

As TARC's official advertising partner, Adsposure puts your brand where Louisville actually is: on a bus rolling past Churchill Downs during Derby Week, parked outside a Bardstown Road bar on a Friday night, cutting through downtown at rush hour.

Louisville runs on bourbon, horses, and a hospitality that shows up in force every Derby season. Adsposure puts your brand inside that rhythm, not as an ad people tune out, but as part of the city they're already moving through.
