Alachua County at a glance
A university city with a county wrapped around it
Alachua County runs on the University of Florida. With more than 50,000 students, a major academic medical center and a research economy, UF shapes Gainesville's calendar, traffic and spending. Santa Fe College adds thousands more students. On a football Saturday, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium holds more people than most Florida cities, and they arrive on a small number of roads.
Gainesville is the county seat and regional center for healthcare, shopping and government across a dozen rural counties. Around it are small cities with their own identities: Alachua and its biotech park, Newberry and its youth sports complex, High Springs and its river outfitters, Micanopy and its antiques. A campaign here can speak to students, to medical and university staff, or to the wider region that drives in on I-75, US 441 and SR 26.

Good to know
Alachua County mobile billboard FAQ
Can you run a truck around UF on a game day?
Yes. Roads closest to the stadium close before kickoff, so we work University Avenue, 13th Street, Archer Road and 34th Street where traffic is open and tailgaters are walking.
What does a billboard truck cost this far from Miami?
The day rate starts around $1,300, the same anchor we use statewide. What changes for Alachua County is mobilization, which we quote separately and spread across however many days you book.
When is the best time to reach students?
Late August move-in through September, and again in January. Evening dayparts in Midtown and downtown add nightlife exposure.
Do you cover the smaller cities?
Yes. Alachua, Newberry and High Springs are each 20 to 30 minutes from Gainesville and can be added to a full-day booking.
How far does the truck travel?
About five hours from our Hollywood, FL base via the Turnpike and I-75. Travel is itemized, and we recommend booking two or more days.
What creative do I need to supply?
A still image or short video sized to the screen specs we send you once your truck is confirmed. Digital creative can be swapped between days or dayparts, which is useful when an Alachua County route passes different audiences morning and evening.
