The End of the Line for Alcohol Ads on Public Transit
Public transit represents an important area for study and public policy action regarding strategies for restricting alcohol ads to which youth are most likely to be exposed. This report by the Marin Institute is based on a survey of the alcohol advertising policies of 25 public transit agencies nationwide. It describes which agencies have the best policies and which have the most room for improvement.
Key findings include:
- A full 75% of responding public transit agencies have policies that prohibit alcohol advertising.
- Only 10% of responding public transit agencies have policies that claim to protect children, and yet still allow alcohol advertising.
