A team of students from Lower Moreland High School has been selected as the regional winner for PennDOT’s seventh annual Innovations Challenge, a statewide competition that invites high school students to develop creative and strategic solutions to transportation challenges.

This year, participants were tasked with redeveloping a stretch of roadway that had previously separated an existing neighborhood, causing residents and businesses to relocate.

The challenge required students to address numerous community needs, including bicycle and pedestrian traffic, reconnecting the separated neighborhood, allowing for new business development, and ensuring smooth traffic flow.

The team will go on to the state finals, PennDOT said.
