September, 2022 Sponsorship and Advertising Program Update:
Due to staff and vehicle capacity, COIC is limiting the program to community and agency partners only, with a one year minimum contract for advertising.
The Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC) Board of Directors approved a new Sponsorship Policy in 2018 to enhance relationships with community partners and to increase COIC’s ability to deliver services to the community. COIC/CET is now accepting sponsorship applications via the downloadable form listed below. Please email your signed and completed application to dhofbauer@coic.org and allow up to two weeks for COIC to review applications.
Download the Cascades East Transit Advertisement Price Sheet for current rates for CET fixed-route and Community Connector buses, demand response vehicles, and paratransit vans. All vehicle types are currently available for sponsorship opportunities. Prices are for space rental only. Graphic design, production, installation, and removal costs are the responsibility of the sponsor. CET staff will coordinate with vendors regarding graphics sizes and bringing in buses for installation. Below is a list of vendors that offer design, graphics printing and installation. Please note this is not an exhaustive list of all vendors.
If you have questions or would like to request additional information, please contact Derek Hofbauer, the COIC/CET Sponsorship Program Coordinator, at dhofbauer@coic.org or 541-548-9534.
