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.

SORC accepts reservations one semester at a time.
Bus Sign space is rented on a week-to-week basis by the linear inch. Thus, the space rental cost for an 8.5-inch bus sign is half the cost of space rental for a 17-inch bus sign.
