Good Works Public Service Products

Lamar’s commitment to the communities we service. Each year. Lamar contributes several million dollars of donated space to qualifying non-profit groups in our communities through our Good Works program.

Lamar and its transit partners agree that public service messages are important in helping to support our local community programs and services. The Lamar Good Works program provides a cost effective way for these organizations to reach the out-of-home audience.

In addition to donated space, we offer a variety of services to our PSA clients, including special production packages, graphic design services, and demographic analysis reports.
