TRB Honors APTA's Millar with Sharon Banks Award
The Transportation Research Board (TRB) honored William W. Millar, APTA president from 1996-2011, with the 2018 Sharon D. Banks Award for Humanitarian Leadership in Transportation Jan. 10, during its Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.
The biennial award, first presented in 2002, recognizes innovative and successful leadership in people-oriented initiatives in transportation sustained over an extended period of time. It is given in memory of Banks, who was general manager of AC Transit, Oakland, CA, from 1991 until her death in 1999 and chaired the TRB Executive Committee in 1998.
Millar, a friend and mentor to Banks, was chief executive officer of Pittsburgh’s Port Authority of Allegheny County and an active APTA member before taking the top position. He received APTA’s Jesse L. Haugh Award (now Outstanding Public Transportation Manager) in 1987 and is a member of the APTA Hall of Fame.
For TRB, he was a leader in establishing the Transit Cooperative Research Program, for which he received the Founding Father Award for his leadership, and also was recognized with the W.N. Carey Jr. Distinguished Service Award, Thomas B. Deen Distinguished Lectureship and the establishment of the William W. Millar Award for the best research paper addressing public transportation issues.
