State gets creative with HERO truck sponsorships

This week, 22 signs announcing the Georgia Department of Transportation’s Highway Emergency Response Operators (HERO) program were put up on highways around Atlanta.
At the bottom of each sign were the words “sponsored by State Farm” and an image of the insurance company’s logo.

The corporate logo on these highway signs is a result of a sponsorship agreement between State Farm and the Georgia DOT announced last May.

Under the terms of the agreement, State Farm pays GDOT $1.7 million per year for the next three years.
