The Transport Planning Society (TPS) is proud to announce all four of last year’s judges will be returning to decide the winners of the People’s Award.

The judges will be responsible for selecting the finalists and winner of the People’s Award for a community -based transport planning project that has improved people’s lives.

Entry for the People's Award  is open until 2 August 2019. 

The judging panel:

The four judges bring a wealth of experience and will be looking for projects and initiatives that have made a genuine contribution to improving people’s accessibility, quality of life and wellbeing, through engaging the local community at an early stage. 

Steve Bennett, Chair of TPS, said:

“We’re delighted all the judges are returning for this year’s awards. It is fantastic for entrants to know that such high-quality and experienced judges are looking at their work and helping us to promote great transport planning initiatives.”
