Five young Laval residents have won a drawing contest aimed at promoting public transit among Laval youth.<\/p>\n

The Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de transport de Laval (STL) paired up with Fondation Monique Fitz-Back to organize a program which would encouraged elementary school students to depict their vision for Laval transit, and for college and university students to design transit-themed advertising posters.<\/p>\n

Elementary school students Samuel Boutin Livernois, Sarah Ghannem, Raphael Fortin all won for the drawing contest entitled \u201cThe future of transportation: my vision\u201d and Amelie Bissonnette-Montminy (college) and Nad\u00e8ge Dionne-Tremblay (university) won for the advertising posters Change the flow of traffic!<\/i><\/p>\n

In coming weeks, the winners of \u201cThe future of transportation: my vision\u201d drawing contest for elementary schools on Montreal-Laval territory can expect to see their works portrayed on more than 125 STL buses. <\/p>\n

The two advertising posters in the Change the flow of traffic!<\/i> college and university contest; they will also be seen in mid-May, making the rounds of the major cities in Quebec, including Laval.<\/p>\n

In addition to the first component of the program, the program also featured an educational component, designed for elementary school students. The kit consisted of a workbook and a document covering the major transit-related issues.<\/p>\n

The project aimed to increase youth awareness of alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles. It encouraged students to get involved by engaging in the quest for more sustainable mobility solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe program’s goal is to promote public transit to children,\u201d STL spokeswoman Marie-C\u00e9line Bourgault said. \u201cWe want them to use public transit.\u201d<\/p>\n
