Weapons of any kind are not permitted. See the ADA Paratransit and Demand Response Rider's Guide for full information on permitted items.
  • What if I'm just a visitor to the area?
    ORT honors the ADA Eligibility of out-of-town visitors for up to 21 days per year, if they present a copy of their current ADA ID Card, their ADA Eligibility award letter, or written confirmation from the public transportation they have ADA Eligibility with.

See the ADA Paratransit and Demand Response Rider's Guide for full information on permitted items.
  • Ozark Regional Transit's (ORT) Portion of the Ad Revenue for the last 5 years
    2019 - $56,420 2020 - $93,800 2021 - $66,520 2022 - $64,556.80 2023 - $73,954.40
  • What percentage of advertising revenue does Ozark Regional Transit (ORT) receive?

  • If we need an Ozark Regional Transit (ORT) bus for a wrap, what cities could they be delivered to?
    Our buses have been taken to locations in Springdale, Fayetteville, Tontitown, and Avoca for wrap installation.
  • What is the process and timeline for taking a bus out of service for an advertising wrap at Ozark Regional Transit (ORT)
    If a bus will need to be out of service for an advertising wrap, Ozark Regional Transit (ORT) requests a minimum of five business day advanced notice. This is necessary for our operations department to reassign a vehicle to an out-of-service status. ORT asks that the vehicle be out of revenue service no more than one week. ORT prefers that the provider work through the weekend to accomplish the task of wrapping a bus to minimize the number of days the vehicle is out of revenue service. With 24 hours’ notice of anticipated completeness, ORT will schedule the staff necessary to transport the vehicle back to ORT property.
  • Can the Ozark Regional Transit (ORT) logo be covered when applying a new advertising panel?
    Unless the new advertising panel incorporates ORT’s logo, ORT logos cannot be covered.
  • Can you confirm that the production and installation of fleet graphics will be restricted solely to advertising for third parties purchasing this service through the revenue proposal, excluding special events, custom wraps, or other non-advertiser designs?
    Advertisement is defined as promoting third-party goods and/or services or other general information a company/organization wants to communicate to the public. This excludes custom wraps, designs for special events, or non-advertiser content unless explicitly part of a third-party advertising agreement.
