ARTBA’s Research and Education Division (RED) has successfully completed the 7th year of its Student Video Contest Promoting Importance of U.S. Transportation Infrastructure. The annual contest encourages students to connect with current trends in American transportation infrastructure, focusing on topics of general transportation and safety. ARTBA awards national recognition and cash prizes to students who submit the most creative, informative, and engaging short video. The contest is open to students in both K-12 and post-secondary education, allowing several students from CUTC-affiliated universities to win big in this year’s contest.

Four students from CUTC-affiliated universities have won top prizes in this year’s contest. Among them was University of Washington student Daniel Shen who won 1st place in the RED General Transportation category. His video, “The Gas Tax,” describes the low-cost, high-reward nature of the gas tax in his video, closely examining the tax’s overall effects on both consumers and federal infrastructure.  Daniel is a senior at the University of Washington working to complete a degree in business administration.

This is the second year in a row that a Seattle submission took home a gold, last year was from a local high school student. Congratulations to all winners of this year’s student video contest! To view all winning entries, please click here.
