VIA is the magazine for 3.1 million AAA member households in Northern California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, and southern Idaho. Published bimonthly, each issue promotes the enjoyment of travel in the West, with departments including Weekender, On the Road, and Events. Additionally, VIA regularly includes advice on traffic safety, automotive use, and how members may get the most from their AAA membership.

VIA also produces Special Lifestyle Sections that use geo-demographic coding to target upscale households. Luxury travel, upscale automotive, and financial products will find that these VIA adults match the profile of national affluent magazines. For more information, please contact the
VIA Advertising Department.

Advertising in VIA enables advertisers to reach a broad audience of households that are key consumers of travel and other consumer products. VIA's Travel Guide section is the largest travel catalog among Western publications.
