PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - You might be seeing Palm Tran buses around Palm beach County aiming to keep kids away from gang activity soon.

Billboards designed by ninth grader Aleksi Turkki will be placed on 16 buses saying things like "Do what's right, gangs ain't tight."

Turkki says he hopes the slogan will get through to kids.

"Do what's right," Turkki said." Of course, instead of saying gangs are bad, add something kid-friendly like, gangs ain't tight."

The billboards will be on various Palm Tran buses for at least a year.
