What We Stand For

Safety First. Our largest audience is the driving public, and we understand that people see out-of-home ads while driving at high speeds. Safety is our top priority. We are firmly committed to the safety of the general public and would never do anything to distract drivers. In addition to following external laws and regulations, we adhere to the OAAA Code of Industry Principles. We also create and maintain safe working environments for all of our employees, whether they’re working in an office or installing billboards on the interstate.

Serving Our Customers. We are dedicated to building strong relationships, providing excellent customer service and delivering value to our customers. We are always looking for innovative new ways to support our customers and to become an even more valued media partner.

Delivering Value While Maintaining Our Principles. As a publicly traded company since 1996, we’re committed to delivering consistent and significant returns to our shareholders. That said we also seek to preserve the same family values upon which our business was built in 1902.

Community Support. Our goal is to leave every place that we’re privileged to operate in better than the way we found it. We operate in hundreds of communities across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. We are responsible corporate citizens in the communities that we serve. We support nonprofit organizations by donating available advertising space for public service announcements. We also utilize our extensive Digital Display network to broadcast Amber, FBI, FEMA, Crime Stoppers and other emergency alerts on a local, state or national level.

Honesty and Integrity. We live by the Golden Rule, and we operate with honesty and integrity in every aspect of our business. We are open with our employees, transparent with our customers and loyal to the communities in which we serve.

Continuous Improvement. We strive to be the best. And more importantly, we are always focused on how we get better.
