METRO is open for advertising with first train wrap

PHOENIX — METRO light rail and advertising program administrator, CBS Outdoor, have earned their first sale with a train wrap by Grand Canyon University. The wrapped vehicle will makes its launch as early as Sunday, Feb. 14 and will be out in service for the next six months.

The METRO Board of Directors amended the agency advertising policy to permit sales of vehicle wraps, vehicle floor decals, station wraps and station display case advertising in July 2009. METRO finalized an agreement with CBS Outdoor to sell the advertising inventory in October.

Progress photos of the train wrap installation will be available this afternoon on METRO’s Facebook page.
