One more look at our new Student Art Buses!

We had so much fun touring the winning students' schools this week so our artists' classmates could see their beautiful work. This year's contest theme was "Who is Your Hero," and we were impressed by both the quality and content of the submissions we received. The top six entries in both the traditional and digital categories are displayed on the outside of the buses, and the top ten winners in both categories are honored inside the fixed-route coach. Huge thank you to the art teachers who help us facilitate this program every year.

You can catch both vehicles out on route now 🚍🎨

Congratulations to the winners of BFT’s 2026 Student Art Contest!

This year’s theme, “Who’s Your Hero?” inspired so many incredible pieces from talented student artists in our community.

The top 3 digital and top 3 traditional entries are now featured on one of our fixed route buses, and for the first time ever, one of our Dial-A-Ride buses showcases the 4th–6th place winners in the traditional and digital artwork entries! The top six artists of both categories were honored at a reception on Monday, May18.

Keep an eye out for these beautiful new wraps on the road and help us celebrate our amazing young artists!
