| Rules | Vehicles-for-hire (taxicabs) in the City of Atlanta are regulated by the Atlanta Police Department's Bureau of Taxicabs and Vehicles for Hire, under Chapter 162 of the City Code of Ordinances. Operating a cab requires a Certificate of Public Necessity and Convenience (CPNC) — a city-issued license/medallion to operate one for-hire vehicle on Atlanta streets; the city capped medallions at 1,600 for over two decades. Driver permitting has largely shifted to the state: Georgia issues "for-hire endorsements" (the Vehicles for Hire section no longer issues permits directly to drivers). Airport ground transportation is separately governed under Chapter 22 (Hartsfield-Jackson) rules. |

Why advertisers target Atlanta
Atlanta is a top-10 U.S. media market (ranked as high as 7th–9th DMA depending on source) with a metro population near 6 million and notoriously heavy congestion — ranked among the 4th-to-8th most congested U.S. cities, which extends OOH/vehicle-ad dwell time. The I-75/I-85 Downtown Connector carries ~340,000–380,000 vehicles/day (one of the busiest urban corridors in the country) and Peachtree Road through Buckhead sees ~40,000–55,000/day. Key advertiser zones are Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead (luxury retail/corporate/high-rise), the Westside, Old Fourth Ward, and Decatur. Hartsfield-Jackson is the world's busiest airport, feeding constant business/convention travel; the Georgia World Congress Center drives major event/trade-show seasonality, alongside sports (Falcons, Braves, Hawks, Atlanta United) and a large film/entertainment industry presence.
