August 17, 2011 (Albany, NY) – Austin’s School of Spa Technology and CDTA today unveiled a new ad campaign featuring Austin’s School of Spa Technology students. This is the first time the school has featured its own students in a creative advertising campaign. Austin’s School of Spa Technology launched the new campaign with the unveiling of a CDTA bus at the Albany campus this morning. 

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Every day, the wheels on these CDTA buses go round and round to bring people where they need to go. Even people you might not suspect.

Postal worker Harold Lawton said, "I take the bus. I walk up a couple of blocks here and the bus picks me up and I'm dropped off close to where I start."

In fact, for the last 19 years, Lawton has made his way to his mail route in Albany by hopping on public transportation. He makes 900 individual stops to deliver mail and says riding the bus just makes sense and costs less cents.
