Road Safety Art Contest

Everyone on our roads has a responsibility to help keep each other safe. The annual FMCSA Road Safety Art Contest invites students to use their creativity to raise awareness of how to stay safe on the road, particularly when driving, biking, or walking around large trucks and buses. 

This year, the contest has expanded to include students in grades K-12, with new submission categories including digital art, craft, video, and photography.
