Transportation Celebrates Micromobility Art Contest Winners

This spring, we invited Raleigh students to envision a world where transportation is not only accessible but also sustainable. We were thrilled to see the incredible response to the Micromobility Program's first art contest, which ran from May 13 to June 7, 2024.

An artist review panel selected 24 creative pieces, which are now proudly displayed across 28 of the city's 31 bikeshare stations. The contest received submissions from students in every district in Raleigh and all districts are represented amongst the winning submissions. Four submissions were printed twice and featured at multiple locations due to the exceptional ratings these submissions received from the artist review panel.
