RTA Wins GRAND PRIZE at Annual APTA Conference

At first the letter came stating that we had won two 1st place awards in the 30th Annual APTA (American Public Transportation Association) AdWheel Awards for two marketing campaigns, a print ad and a educational/public awareness campaign; we were ecstatic! It gets better, senior staff headed to the Annual APTA Conference and the Grand Prize award was awarded to us! We competed in Category 3, which is between 5-30 million passengers a year and we took home the GRAND PRIZE for our educational TV Series "Going Places Together". We are already gearing up for next years AdWheel Awards, but for the moment, we hope you enjoy seeing our trophy as much as we do!

Everyone at APTA did a great job and it is always exciting to see what creative ideas come out of other transit marketing departments, click here to see a full list of the winners. See you next year!

The Corpus Christi RTA has been undergoing a new branding campaign created by Morehead Dotts and Associates so far the new 40' Gillig buses have the new paint scheme (see picture below); new business cards have been ordered and we are currently working on designing our website to match.

Good things are happening at the RTA. We want to know your feedback on our new look.
