ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
RTA previously adopted an Advertising Content Policy and reviews board-adopted policies annually. The policy has been updated to:
Clarify forum status and viewpoint-neutral standards for acceptance/rejection.
Update prohibited content categories (obscenity/adult content; tobacco/vaping/cannabis; alcohol; illegal or dangerous products; political candidates/ballot measures/issue advocacy; discriminatory or hateful content; false/misleading claims).
end
DISCUSSION:
The updates reduce legal and reputational risk, create a consistent rider-appropriate environment, and give clear, defensible criteria for content decisions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None - administrative in nature. The policy is expected to reduce disputes and processing time and to support stable advertising revenues through clearer standards.
NEXT STEPS:
Policy effective upon Board approval.
