UITP Awards

The winners of the UITP Awards were announced on 6 February 2022 during the MENA Transport Congress and Exhibition. A report outlining the projects and details of outstanding submissions is planned for later this year.

As the coveted prize in public transport, the UITP Awards showcase the most ambitious and innovative projects of the last two years in cities and regions around the globe. UITP established the Awards in 2011 and after ten years, 2021 marked its 6th edition.

Projects vying for an award, position public transport as the backbone of urban and local mobility. They excel at enhancing quality of life in urban areas worldwide by supporting, promoting and advancing public transport.

The UITP Awards cover eight categories from diversity & inclusion to multimodal integration and public and urban transport strategy. UITP assembles an impartial expert jury that scores the submitted projects based on their innovation, contribution and transferability prospects.

The UITP Awards take place every 2 years. Applying to win a coveted UITP Award gives organisations valuable recognition from sector peers, while bringing visibility and attention to outstanding work in the field of sustainable urban transport.

In each category, the winning projects promote public transport as the backbone of sustainable urban mobility.

The Awards are meant for projects submitted by UITP members only. However, in exceptional circumstances, outstanding applications from non-UITP members may be considered.
