PA high schoolers participating in DOT-sponsored big rig parking challenge
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) hopes to introduce trucking to high schoolers in the state by promoting a program that focuses on teaching truck parking. In the 6th annual PennDOT Innovations Challenge, students are encouraged to show creative problem-solving skills in a competition among their peers. This year’s challenge is focusing on developing an innovative solution for truck drivers looking to park on one of the busy Pennsylvania interstate corridors.
The winner of the challenge in each region will be selected to participate in presenting these solutions to the PennDOT secretary and a chosen panel of judges. The statewide winning team will win $4,000 in donations from the Associated Pennsylvania Constructors (APC) and the American Council of Engineering Companies of Pennsylvania (ACEC/PA).
