Awards for London Boroughs
1 Transport Borough of the Year
A submission in this category needs to demonstrate progress and improvement across a range of transport policy areas supported by clear results.
2 Most Improved Transport Borough
For this category we are looking for submissions that demonstrate a significant improvement in performance over the last three years. This may relate to one particular area of transport policy or to your overall strategy. If there are particular obstacles that you've successfully overcome, we'd like to hear about those too.
Awards for London Boroughs
3 Achievements in Cycling
A cycling strategy may form the basis of a submission for this category or an individual scheme which has brought significant benefits. Increased numbers of people cycling or reduced cycle casualties are two possible ways that you could document the success of your work.
4 Most Effective Road Safety, Traffic Management and Enforcement
This category encompasses all aspects of traffic management and enforcement. Examples of projects that would qualify are road pricing schemes, speed management, road space reallocation projects (for example bus lanes) and parking enforcement schemes. We will be looking for results such as casualty reductions, improved journey reliability, modal shift, or congestion reduction.
5 Excellence in Walking and Public Realm
Entries in this category need to demonstrate how particular policies and projects have improved the street environment. Examples of initiatives for this Award include environmental enhancement schemes, pedestrian schemes and parking and warden policies. Before and after photographs help the Judges with this category.

7 Rail Station of the Year (heavy and light rail)
An entry into this category would provide evidence of improvements to an existing station or implementation of a new one to encourage more use of rail.
8 Most Innovative Transport Project
Projects entered for this Award need to stand out as being that bit different - it could be a project that is the first of its kind in London, or a project that has been done before but has been approached differently.
9 Contribution to Sustainable Transport
A submission in this category should demonstrate how your organisation has implemented policies to reduce its impact on the environment (for example reduced carbon footprint), supported by clear results. The types of projects that would qualify for this category include the use of alternative vehicle fuels and technologies or freight practices which have resulted in mileage and/or emissions/reductions.
10 Excellence in Technology
This category is open to any organisation using new technologies to assist in the transport planning or running of transport operations in London. Again we need to see evidence that the project has brought about good results.
11 Transport Team/Partnership of the Year
A submission in this category should demonstrate how effective team work has brought improvements to transport services or facilities. We will be looking for evidence that the way the team works has brought improvements to the service you provide or projects you deliver.
12 Excellence in Travel Information and Marketing
This category covers all areas of transport marketing including information, promotion and travel planning. We will be looking for evidence that the approach that you have adopted is working.
13 Frontline Employee of the Year
We're looking for nominations for this award for a frontline member of staff (for example, school crossing patrols, bus drivers, highways inspectors, receptionists) who has gone beyond the call of duty in their role and delivered a better service as a result. The nominee will have demonstrated a real commitment to their service and your nomination will need to outline briefly (250 words maximum) what they have done to deserve the award, supported with statistical or anecdotal evidence. Supporting letters are useful in this category.
