Weeks after the Parents Television Council (PTC) announced its complaints regarding offensive game advertisement s on buses, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) board has replied that it will be taking the PTC's complaints into consideration at its upcoming meeting next week on March 27."RTD has some very serious and important issues that it needs to focus on," said John Tayer, Boulder City's RTD representative. "While we need to pay attention to these types of issues, I'd rather see our resources, time and energy focused on implementing FasTracks and addressing other priority transit issues."
Last February, the PTC had filed a joint press release alongside the Commercial Free Childhood (CCFC) organization to prevent advertisements of games of M (Mature) and AO (Adults Only) ratings from being placed on buses on the transit authority's (RTD) jurisdiction. At the moment, the RTD's advertisement standards prohibit deceptive, illegal, or obscene material, ban ads of tobacco (cigarettes), and require ads to be "of a reputable character". It will be remembered that last year, the RTD had entered into a contract with Rockstar Games to post Grand Theft Auto (GTA) ads on its public transport vehicles.
