Alcohol Ads on Public Property: A Victory & Next Steps in MA

SAFE-MA-BUS
Congratulations to members and supporters of SAFE-MA, and officials from the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority, as the ban of all alcohol advertising on MBTA property went into effect July 1, 2012! SAFE-MA educated T officials about the dangers of alcohol advertising to youth, and the T listened to their concerns.
 
There is still work to do and next steps toward a statewide ban on state property.  HB 851 got farther than it had previously, but unfortunately halted in the House Committee on Ways & Means.  Please continue to join SAFE-MA's efforts to limit alcohol advertising exposure to Massachusetts youth.
