Student-Designed Bike Lane Artwork Unveiled

FDOT and its partner agencies unveiled new bike lane artwork designed by Central Florida elementary school students. The unique initiative - which spanned across six counties - promoted cycling safety as part of FDOT's Mobility Week, which promotes safe and sustainable travel choices. Winning students were each celebrated with their own bike lane artwork reveal, a certificate presentation, and a brief road safety presentation provided by FDOT representatives for their classrooms.

"Hundreds of students ride their bike to school every day in Central Florida, and it's our job to teach them about safety," said Libertad Acosta-Anderson, Passenger Operations Manager for FDOT District Five. "What better way to encourage safe cycling practices than a fun personalized piece of artwork by their school." Contest winners include:
