Sponsorship Opportunities The “Official BUSRide Maintenance Field Test” initiative features a case study of a given bus operation specific to a selected company’s customer.

Through a collaborative effort, we document: • The challenge: what the bus operation was facing before engaging with the company • The solution: why this company was selected; the “ramp up” process; customer employee training, etc.

The resulting story becomes a 4-page spread in BUSRide Maintenance – or it can actually be printed on 80# gloss cover stock and fugitive glued inside an upcoming issue of BUSRide.

Because the cover stock is much heavier than the inside pages of BUSRide, the magazine will open right to the insert!

All of which contributes to outstanding lead-gen opportunities!
