Bus Safety, Security, Emergency Management and Safe, Effective, and Clean Transit Excellence Awards

About this program

The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) invites nominations for its Bus Safety, Security, Emergency Management and Safe, Effective, and Clean Transit Excellence Awards to recognize bus and paratransit systems that have implemented documented, successful programs improving safety, security, emergency management, or clean and effective transit. Submissions are accepted by category for public systems based on annual unlinked passenger trips (≤3M; >3M–<15M; >15M–<50M; ≥50M) and in a separate category for private providers (transportation management or contracted service providers); paratransit initiatives should use the applicable system ridership category. Applicants must demonstrate documented success and will be judged on benefit level, innovation, transferability, and effectiveness; Gold Award recipients will be asked to provide a short video describing the program and benefits. The webpage references a submission deadline of COB Monday, March 23 (year not specified), so verify current deadline with APTA contacts before applying.
