South Florida Vanpools would like to congratulate the winners of The Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization Public Service Announcement contest.

The winners Melissa Grafton from La Salle High School, Abed Hassan from Hialeah High School and Karina Rico-Aranga from Miami High School created outstanding videos that described vanpooling in an informative and humorous manner. South Florida Vanpools would like to thank all teachers, staff and students that made this contest such a success. Click on their names above to watch the winning videos.
