Metrorail Easy Perks Program Offers Local Business Advertising

Transit Incentives for Local Business

The Easy Perks program provides local businesses along transit routes with advertising on Miami-Dade transit in exchange for offering discounts to riders. This initiative aims to connect local commerce with the transit network. According to the Miami-Dade County Strategic Procurement Department, Manny Cid serves as the Assistant Director of the department.

Participating businesses, such as Lavish Touches Hair and Spa Inc., owned by Gasline Dessources, are part of the program. This initiative provides a platform for local service providers to reach a wider audience of commuters using the Metrorail system.
