  • The Sustainable Transport Award (STA) is presented annually to a city that has shown leadership and vision in the field of sustainable transportation and urban livability in the preceding year. Nominations are accepted from anyone, and winners and honorable mentions are chosen by the Sustainable Transport Award Steering Committee. Since 2005, the award has been given out annually to a city or major jurisdiction that has implemented innovative transportation strategies, especially in several different areas of sustainable transportation. The award rewards cities for such accomplishments as improving mobility for all residents, reducing transportation greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions, and improving safety and access for bicyclists and pedestrians. Finalists are invited to an award ceremony during the Transportation Research Board’s annual conference in Washington, DC in January, where the winner and honorable mentions are announced at the ceremony. The STA directs international attention to cities on the cutting edge of transportation policy. By highlighting successfully completed programs and emphasizing transferability, the award helps disseminate new ideas and best practices, while encouraging cities worldwide to improve their own livability. Noteworthy projects include the construction or expansion of BRT or LRT systems, bike shares or bike lanes, attention to low-income access to transportation, reform of parking or zoning regulations, and linking transportation and development practices (TOD).
