Trolley Advertising Opportunities

2.1 million people downtown. 2.6 million vehicles annually.*

Galveston’s historic trolleys offer a unique out-of-home advertising opportunity, putting your brand in front of millions of locals and visitors as they travel between some of the island’s most popular destinations.

The Downtown Trolley travels through Historic Downtown to the Seawall Transfer Station, where riders can connect with the Seawall Trolley. From there, the Seawall route extends from Stewart Beach on the east end to Moody Gardens on the west end, giving visitors an easy way to reach beaches, attractions, hotels, restaurants, and entertainment without needing a car — and connect back to Downtown.

The Seawall sees more than 2.6 million vehicles annually — not including people walking, jogging, cycling, and enjoying the beachfront. Historic Downtown and the Historic Strand Seaport welcomed more than 2.1 million visitors during the past year.

Together, the connected trolley routes provide advertisers with repeated visibility across Galveston’s major visitor corridors, reaching people as they explore the island.

We had fantastic results from our ads on the trolley stops. Our bookings during the first few weeks generated enough revenue to pay for the entire campaign, so we added two more locations!
