Partner with COAST
COAST connects people, businesses, and communities. By partnering with us, local agencies, organizations, and businesses can help expand access to transportation, reach new audiences, support a stronger local economy, and ensure more people can get where they need to go. Together, we can build stronger connections across the Seacoast.
Partnership Opportunities
Transportation Services
Many of COAST’s services started as partnerships with local communities or organizations. Examples include Portsmouth Senior Transportation, the Willand Pond Emergency Warming Shelter Shuttle, and Routes 33, 40, and 41.
Community Partnerships
COAST regularly participates in annual community parades, festivals, and events, sometimes offering specialty parking shuttle services or other support. We also work with our local municipalities to assist with regional emergency drills and first responder training.
Advertise with COAST
Advertising on COAST buses and bus shelters means your business or organization’s message is seen daily throughout the Greater Seacoast region in a big, bold, colorful, and dynamic way. In addition, your marketing dollars work to support an essential nonprofit resource for everyone in our community.
COAST works with ATA Outdoor Media to market and sell our available advertising spaces. Please direct all inquiries to ATA Outdoor Media.
Strategic Partnerships
COAST takes a leadership role in broadening transportation options within the region, including with the Alliance for Community Transportation (ACT) and CommuteSMART Seacoast.

Start a Commuter Benefit Program
The IRS has a program that allows commuters to pay for work-related transit with pre-tax dollars. Your business can partner with COAST to offer this benefit to your employees, cutting down on your payroll taxes, and offering your staff a more affordable and green way to get to work!
Invest in Public Transportation
As a nonprofit organization, COAST must raise its multi-million operating budget each year. Funding comes from a variety of sources, each one critical to our continued success.
You can make a meaningful investment in the future of public transportation on the Seacoast by supporting COAST.
Stay Informed
Join COAST’s mailing list, connect with us on social media, and stay up-to-date on transit issues being covered by the media. We’ll help keep you informed on ways you can speak up, participate, and advocate for public transportation locally and statewide.
