Bus Sign requests are closed.
- We are evaluating the bus sign service and will be in touch when we have more information. Please check out our other Fall 2024 marketing opportunities: https://campusinvolvement.umich.edu/sorc/article/fall-advertising-specifics.
Bus signs are a remarkably effective way to convey your message to the ever-growing number of campus commuters, including students, faculty and staff.
Advertisers may reserve advertising space on the blue campus buses on a week-by-week basis. The minimum reservation is one week; the maximum reservation is one semester. Advertisers create their designs, print and glue them to poster board, and submit them to SORC staff before the deadline, and SORC drivers place signs on up to 30 buses.
Reservation requests are taken online so that we may maintain a fair hierarchy. First-time users are strongly encouraged to read the entire contents of this page (specifically, the links in the right margin, starting with "Availability") before submitting the online request.
