Transport Planner of the Year

Each year at the Transport Practitioners Meeting TPS presents the Transport Planner of the Year Award to an outstanding individual. The winner receives their award and is always invited to give the Annual Guest Lecture after the Annual General Meeting.

We ask the TPS members to nominate a candidate who has made an exceptional contribution to the transport planning profession in the last year. This could be in the form of a project delivered, a pioneering technique or approach used, someone who has put their head above the parapet or just because they are a good ambassador for the profession.  The TPS Board then votes and a winner is selected. 

The Transport Planer of the Year finalists for 2024 have been announced! Read more about them here
