Subway scrolls: MTA's ad blitz keeps trains on track in NYC while saving riders money
Briefly

The MTA generates significant revenue through advertisements in the subway system, benefiting both large and small companies. Advertisements cater to a diverse audience and contribute to the MTA's operational budget, expected to raise about $175 million this year. These funds are crucial for sustaining services like maintenance and repairs. As labor-related costs consume 58% of the budget, ad revenue also supports employee salaries and benefits. The shift from static posters to digital ads has improved MTA’s advertising strategy, allowing for rapid updates and maximized engagement.
The MTA expects to bring in about $175 million in ad revenue, which supports the agency's nearly $20 billion operating budget, allowing for operational expenses and services.
According to OUTFRONT, about 70% of ad dollars go back to the MTA, which supports maintenance, salaries, and healthcare within the transit system.
