The four nomination categories are Quality of Life/Community Development; Operations Excellence; Best Use of Technology & Innovation; and Safety.An independent panel of transportation experts will select the winner and online voting – weighted by state population – will determine the People’s Choice Award. Both awards bring $10,000 cash for a charity or transportation-related scholarship of the winners’ choice.Online voting has begun at americastransportationawards.org and continues through 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, October 29.
