ATA Outdoor Media Recognized with Excellence in Transit Award
ATA Outdoor Media was recently honored with an Excellence in Transit Award at the New Hampshire Transit Association Annual Meeting.
We are incredibly grateful to Nashua Transit System for the nomination and to the New Hampshire Transit Association for the recognition. This award means a great deal to our team, especially because it reflects the work being done across New Hampshire to support, strengthen, and advocate for public and community transportation.
Since 1992, ATA has partnered with transit systems throughout New Hampshire and northern New England to help generate meaningful non-fare revenue through transit advertising. Some of these partnerships go back decades, and we are grateful for the trust our transit partners have placed in us year after year.
Founded by Jane Cutter, ATA has grown from her vision into a small but mighty team built on long-standing partnerships, local market knowledge, and a deep respect for the role public transportation plays in our communities.
We succeed when our transit partners succeed.
Our work is not only about bringing advertising dollars into local markets, including national and regional campaign opportunities, but also about educating advertisers. We want them to understand the power of transit advertising: the reach it provides, the real-world visibility it creates, the trust it builds, and the full-circle benefit it delivers.
When local businesses choose transit advertising, they are investing in their own growth while also investing back into the transit systems that serve their communities. That is a true win-win for businesses, public transit, and the communities we all care about.
Public transportation plays a vital role in building stronger communities and supporting local economies. It keeps people connected and helps communities remain accessible, resilient, and moving forward. According to the American Public Transportation Association, every dollar invested in public transportation generates $5 in economic returns, underscoring what those in the transit community already know: investment in transit creates benefits that extend well beyond the ride itself.
We are proud to play even a small part in that larger mission.
Thank you again to Nashua Transit System for the nomination, to our transit partners across the region, and to the ATA team whose work supports these relationships every day.
We look forward to continuing our partnership, advocacy, and support for public transportation in New Hampshire and throughout northern New England.
