CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — Nationwide truck wraps manufacturer, JMR Graphics, recently commented on Jackson School District’s new advertising space being offered on buses to offset rising transportation costs.
According to a Nov. 14 article published by AsburyParkPress.com titled “Advertising to begin on Jackson school buses,” a 14-month plan was recently approved to allow advertising from Thomas Edison State College on outside of 41 Jackson School District school buses.
As a part of the plan, the school district will be paid $17,056. This will offset the rising transportation costs the district is seeing. According to Al Olkowitz, the Transportation Administrator, transportation costs have risen from $3.45 million last year to $4.27 million this year. This increase is largely due to rising diesel fuel costs. The district fleet currently consists of 111 buses and vans, which transports more than 9,000 students each day.
TJ Pannell, a representative of JMR Graphics, a nationwide truck wraps manufacturer, says that selling advertising space is a win-win situation for both parties involved.
“This is a trend we are seeing many cash-strapped school districts take part in,” he says. “It generates needed revenue for the school districts and provides advertisers with great opportunities for increased visibility in front of relevant audiences.”
