The strongholds

Transit: OUTFRONT holds the exclusive MTA advertising contract, making it the only door into NYC subway and commuter rail screens OUTFRONT Media 2026. Any NYC plan with underground reach goes through this desk; New York has the market context.

Billboards: big-market roadside strength, the complement to Lamar's small-market breadth (the comparison).

Getting a quote that can be compared

Transit quotes arrive as packages: stations, screen counts, flight length, one price. Ask for the per-screen list and the loop mechanics so you can compare against roadside math. For billboards, anchor against the published $5-$18 CPM band and $3,500-$25,000 4-week flight range AdQuick 2026; OUTFRONT publishes specs and formats, not rates OUTFRONT Media 2026.

Programmatic access
