LYNX to Accept Applications for the 20th Public Service Bus Contest
May 5, 2025
LYNX will celebrate 20 years of the public service bus program for Central Florida non-profits. The application period is now open for qualified non-profit organizations in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties to register for a spot on the bus.
At least eight qualified agencies, maybe more to celebrate 20 years, will be chosen in a random drawing to have their logo displayed for one year. The Public Service Bus travels routes every day throughout the three-county area.
To be eligible, for the 20th bus, the non-profit organization must be based in Orange, Osceola or Seminole County; operate on a budget of less than $1.5 million and show proof of 501(c)(3) status or be a governmental agency.
Qualified agencies are required to:
- Fill out registration form online (golynx.com/publicservicebus) with all fields completed.
- Attach copy of 501(c)(3) status or government agency designation (Example: IRS form).
- Attach copy of annual budget of less than $1.5 million (example: annual budget document).
- Attach electronic file of organization logo as vector art (.ai or .eps). Must be high resolution (minimum 300 dpi).
Agencies on the current 2022-23 bus are not eligible to apply. The deadline to enter will be 5 p.m. July 12. Incomplete entries will not be accepted. Winners will be drawn randomly and announced in July.
The official unveiling of the 2023-24 Public Service Bus will be held at a to-be-determined location in early August.
