The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has opened the nomination period for the 2024 Transportation Vanguard Award. Applications will be accepted through September 14.
The definition of a “vanguard” is someone who is at the forefront of new developments and technologies. In this spirit, AASHTO established the annual Vanguard award to honor a deserving individual doing extraordinary things in the field of transportation.
Any individual from an AASHTO member department, age 40 or younger at the time of the nomination, working in a permanent status capacity for a member department and who exemplifies a commitment to excellence and/or implementation of innovative technologies and processes is welcome to be nominated.
AASHTO will only accept one nominee per member department and the organization plans to convene a special panel whose purpose will be to select an individual deserving of the award. The winner of this award will be invited to present his/her innovative technology or process at the 2024 AASHTO Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.
