Jan 2025: High School Student Opportunities

Safe Routes to School is offering two new programs for high school students.

Sticker Design Contest!

Everyone loves stickers, so here's a chance to design one that will be distributed statewide!

The contest runs through February 28th. You can find all the details on the ODOT SRTS webpage, or by downloading these flyers:

Statewide Task Force!

We are recruiting 5 high school students from around the state to be part of a task force which will help us shape the ODOT SRTS High School program. Students will be compensated $500 for their participation. The program will be from February-June 2025, averaging 5-7 hours of commitment per month. All meetings will be virtual, and students will be doing some engagement with their school communities.

The QR code on the flyer will take you to the application:
