Caltrans is holding a contest and asking the state’s youth to come up with a name for its new mascot and since it’s winter break for students, it could be a great time to think about it.
Did you know the traffic cones you see along roadways have helped protect highway workers for more than 80 years? Safety cones play a huge role here in California by acting as indicators for drivers to reduce speed, be extra alert, watch out, and move over!
Entering is easy!
1. If you’re between the ages of 5 and 18 and attend a school in California, create a catchy name for our new mascot.
3. If yours is selected, you win a laptop, a $500 gift card, a $500 gift card for your class, Go Safely mascot t-shirts for your entire classroom, and a mascot visit to the winning classroom!
