OUTFRONT Media's Hip Hop Campaign
The campaign includes a QR code leading users to curated playlists to experience personal reflections that may spark conversations about the genre and its impact on world culture.
In addition to the playlists, the QR codes will redirect users, offering them more opportunities to learn about the artists, their contributions, and the influence on each artist by their borough.
OUTFRONT Media said it chose to run the campaign in the subway system as it has set the stage for much of Hip Hop's cultural influence either through song lyrics or video content.
The region’s fixed-route system finished out the year with a total of 373.5 million rides. Adding 12.3 million rides over 2024 represents an increase that is equal to the annual transit ridership of Kansas City.
The service is a flexible, reservation-based transit service designed to close the first- and last-mile gaps and connect riders to employment for just $5 per day.
The upgraded system, which went live earlier this month, supports METRO’s METRONow vision to enhance the customer experience, improve service reliability, and strengthen long-term regional mobility.
The agreement provides competitive wages and reflects strong labor-management collaboration, positive working relationships, and a shared commitment to building a world-class transit system for the community, said RTA CEO Lona Edwards Hankins.
The priorities are outlined in the 2026 Board and CEO Initiatives and Action Plan, which serves as a roadmap to guide the agency’s work throughout the year and ensure continued progress and accountability on voter-approved transportation investments and essential mobility services.
