Of course, there are some guidelines for school bus advertising to ensure the ads are appropriate for the young passengers. Here’s a quick rundown:
-
Safe and Sound:
The ads now permitted on school buses must promote positive values and behaviors according to UAE laws. They shouldn’t contain anything harmful or inappropriate for children.
-
Approval Process:
You’ll need to get the go-ahead from Dubai Municipality before displaying any ads. Additionally, you’ll need an advertising permit from the RTA website.
-
Keeping Students Safe:
Onboard ads must be placed behind the driver to avoid distracting them. Additionally, no ads can block the doors, emergency exits, or the “School Bus” signs on the exterior. The driver’s visibility, especially through the rear window, cannot be obstructed either.
The process for utilizing this advertising service is streamlined and involves the following steps: Submit your application through the Advertising Management System (AMS) on the RTA’s website, ensuring all necessary documents are attached. Obtain approval from Dubai Municipality whenever the advertising material is changed. Ensure that the installation and subsequent removal of advertising materials from the buses are completed within 48 hours after the campaign ends.
