3M Traffic Safety Innovation Award
3M Traffic Safety Innovation Award
The 3M Traffic Safety Innovation Award has been the premier traffic safety award for the Group for many years. Unfortunately, the award will no longer be offered, but the Group is investigating the creation of a replacement award, to recognise the important work of the industry. We thank 3M for their years of support.
If you or your organisation is interested in assisting in the creation of a new award, please contact the Awards Co-ordinator on daniel.newcombe@at.govt.nz
Transport Research Award
Transport Research Award
Applications are now open for the Transportation Group Research Award
Each year the Group provides a Transport Research Award (formerly known the Study Award) worth up to $8,000 for a Group member (or members) to undertake study in New Zealand or overseas, to learn about issues that are important and topical in the transportation area, and then to spread that useful and usable knowledge to peers.
If you believe you can help the profession learn more about important transportation issues, apply now for the Award. The essential requirements are that the research area is relevant to the interests of the Group, and that you document and disseminate your newfound knowledge to your Group peers.
Applications for the next award are open until close of business Friday 18th November. See the entry form for details of last year’s application.
