Student Art Contest
Design Vehicle Artwork and Suggest a New Name for Cupertino's Expanded Shuttle Service
 The City of Cupertino's Transportation Division is looking for creative middle and high school students to help rename our community shuttle and redesign the artwork displayed on the vehicles! Via-Cupertino is an on-demand community shuttle that serves all of Cupertino and connects to Sunnyvale’s Caltrain station. Via-Cupertino will be expanding into Santa Clara and transitioning to an all-electric fleet in the spring.
We're looking for a new name and fresh new vehicle artwork which reflects both communities, while being relevant if the program expands into other nearby communities in the future. The name and design should convey the following themes: Community, Ease of use, Transit/Mobility, and Public. The new name and graphics should shout “This shuttle is for everyone, please ride!”
Students will be able to see their winning artwork on the community shuttle for years to come!
Submission Deadline: February 26, 2023
Winner Announcement: Early March, 2023

January Safety Tip
Bikes are legally considered vehicles on the roadway and need to follow all traffic rules and conventions. This includes riding in the direction of traffic on the road or in the bike lane. It’s also a good idea on the sidewalk. Car drivers are typically looking left to see if there are any oncoming cars and aren’t expecting a bike approaching quickly from the right. So while it might seem like an ok idea to ride the wrong way, it’s much safer to cross the street and go with the flow of traffic!
