County Transit Bus Advertising Rules (Bill 13, 2026)
Maui County
Summary
The county is rewriting the rules for ads on Maui buses and bus passes after past solicitations collapsed. New rules limit third-party ads to commercial transactions, ban political content, and require the county seal on county-sponsored ads — restarting a small revenue stream for the highway fund.
