December 2003: Council of the City of Philadelphia

In December 2003, Philadelphia's City Council unanimously passed an ordinance banning future alcohol advertising on city-owned property. By adopting this ordinance, the City Council banned alcohol advertising from the public transit bus shelters used by many schoolchildren when traveling between school and home each day. The City of Philadelphia owns all public transit bus shelters and administers the seventh-largest public school system in the United States. See the ordinance.
