Community Transit is a proud recipient of two Silver awards in the 47th Annual Telly Awards. These awards honor excellence in video and television. 

This year, Community Transit’s Creative & Brand team was recognized for two projects: Skip the Stress, Ride Transit, a campaign encouraging people to choose transit for a less stressful commute, and The Transit Effect with Ken Jennings, a video series exploring the ways public transportation shapes communities. 

The award-winning projects were created by Community Transit’s Creative & Brand team and stood out among more than 13,000 entries from agencies, production companies, and organizations around the world.

“Being recognized at this level requires unique talent and collaboration,” said Chris Smith, Manager of Creative & Brand at Community Transit. “While these two projects convey very different stories, both reflect how our team excels at finding creative ways to communicate the value of public transit.”
