American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) announced four winners of the 9th annual “Student Transportation Video Contest.” They each will receive a $500 cash prize.
Sponsored by ARTBA’s Research & Education (RED) Division, the contest aims to raise awareness about infrastructure issues by challenging students to develop a brief video exploring a topic related to America’s transportation network.
Students from across the country submitted entries in one of two categories: general transportation or transportation safety. The winners were selected by a panel of ARTBA members and film industry experts, and include two age group categories. Group one is elementary through high school, and group two is post-secondary through graduate level.
