Neighborhood Council Bus Bench PSA Request Form

***IMPORTANT***

PLEASE READ:

Bus Bench Ad Placement Request

The City of Los Angeles's Bus Bench Program enables City Departments and Neighborhood Councils to display Public Service Announcements (PSA's) on City's bus benches free of charge. Please note that while there is no cost to post and display PSA's, there is still a cost associated with printing. Due to the high number of requests, we ask that Neighborhood Councils advertise 1-5 bus bench PSA's within their boundaries. (Depends upon size of NC and density of bus benches within NC boundaries)

Please keep in mind that access to bus benches for PSA campaigns is subject to availability so no specific location is guaranteed and your PSA may be relocated from time to time.

ARTWORK
All bus bench artwork must be completed 6 weeks in advance of your running date. For instance, if you plan on running PSAs on 4/1/21, then your artwork must be completed by 2/18/21 and ready to be reviewed. All artwork must meet the bus bench design specifications and include the City Seal (Download the City Seal Here) in the design.

PRICING AND PRINTING

Make sure your board has approved and set aside a budget for bus bench printing costs.
Please see InSite Street Media Bus Bench pricing here.

Printing cost must be paid to InSite Street Media before the job is sent to the printer. Once the proof is approved by your board, it will take up to 10 business days for printing and placement of the ads.

Since your board does not have bus bench artwork yet, you cannot continue this request at this point. However, you may still decide to use the Department's pre-approved artwork; use one of the bus bench templates in your NC's Canva Pro account; or hire a graphic designer to create the artwork for you.

CANVA
Every Neighborhood Council has a Canva Pro account provided through the Department. Unlike the free Canva accounts which you may be familiar with, your NC's Canva Pro account has custom templates for NC elections outreach, including templates for bus bench and bus shelter ads. Every member of your NC and/or anyone who does design work for your NC may share your Canva login. Please contact your Neighborhood Empowerment Advocate (NEA) if you need your NC's Canva credentials.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER
We recommend that you reach out to at least 3 different graphic designers to obtain quotes. Graphic designers hired by Neighborhood Councils will need to sign a contract, giving the City of Los Angeles the rights to all intellectual property; this includes drafts and finished products. Once hired, please make sure to share the bus bench artwork specifications and the delivery deadline with the graphic designer.

Remember, all bus bench artwork must be completed 6 weeks in advance of your running date.
