Last Call: Nominate Projects, Initiatives for APTA’s Bus and Rail Safety & Security Excellence Awards |
BY MICHAEL SMITH, APTA Senior Specialist, Safety & Security |
APTA members are encouraged to nominate their safety and security projects for APTA’s Safety & Security Excellence Awards program, newly expanded to include rail as well as bus transportation. The deadline for submissions is March 15th.
APTA has long recognized safety excellence in bus transportation. Now, rail systems—commuter rail, rail transit, light rail and streetcar—can also submit nominations that describe their innovative and successful initiatives or projects and be evaluated by the same criteria as the bus program. Public transit systems that operate both bus and rail services are encouraged to nominate two or more different projects.
Award recipients in each category will be formally recognized at their respective APTA conference—the Bus & Paratransit Conference, May 5-8 in Indianapolis, or the Rail Conference, June 2-5 in Philadelphia. Shortly following each conference, APTA will compile the award-winning programs and make them available to all members as a benchmarking resource.
