A Baldwin Wallace University graduate student and a senior at West Valley High School in Yakima, Wash., are winners of the 13th annual American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) "Student Transportation Video Contest."

Sponsored by the association's Research & Education Division, the competition challenges students to develop a brief video exploring a topic related to the nation's transportation network. Students from across the country submitted videos.

Winners were selected by a panel of ARTBA members. Each winner receives $500.

The winning videos will be shown at ARTBA's national convention in Amelia Island, Fla., Sept. 22-25:

Age Group One (Elementary, Middle or High School Students): "CHIP: The Future of City Management" by 12th Grader Andrew Cabbage explored the role of cars in our society and what the future of mobility could look like in urban areas, citing recent strategies in Seattle, New York and Chicago.

Age Group Two (Post-Secondary/College/Graduate Level): "The Importance of Infrastructure Investment in the United States," was submitted by Cassandra Rondinella, who is working on her Master of Arts in Education at Baldwin Wallace University. Rondinella also is a library media specialist for the Akron Public School system.

Her winning entry covered the importance of transportation infrastructure to the U.S. economy and quality of life. The video also highlighted career opportunities in the industry and encouraged students to explore "this exciting field."
