Metro advertising at gas stations across the region

Drivers pulling up to gas pumps around the region will receive a reminder that Metro is an environmentally friendly alternative to filling their tanks and emptying their wallets. This week, Metro placed “Go Green on Metro” advertisements on top of gas pumps at 75 area gas stations.

The advertisements feature a picture of a new “Go Green” Metrobus (see below), which runs on compressed natural gas and is wrapped with pictures of outdoor landscapes. This is the first time Metro is advertising at gas stations.

The campaign will run for two months at 38 gas stations in Maryland, 11 in Virginia and 26 in the District. Each advertisement will be viewed by an average of 27,750 customers each month.
