John Reniewicki, a senior at Arcadia High School, Scottsdale, AZ, captured the grand prize in the 14th Annual Design a Transit Wrap Contest presented by Valley Metro as a part of a larger effort to spread awareness about the benefits of public transit.
“Public transit is an important issue for high school students,” said Valley Metro CEO Steve Banta. “This contest helps us to connect to a younger generation that is choosing to use transit. We are grateful for their ridership and ongoing support of our transit system.”
Reniewicki’s design and slogan, Ride On – took home the grand prize, while the second and third place winners also attend Arcadia High, marking the first time all three winners have come from the same school.
“We are thrilled Scottsdale Unified students are being recognized for their talents and commitment to public transit,” said Valley Metro Board Member and City of Scottsdale Councilmember Suzanne Klapp. “John’s design highlights the importance of our transit system in an imaginative, engaging way.”
