Highway users in Maryland, New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania are benefiting from less congestion, improved safety, and greater productivity as a result of five projects that were named as winners in the America’s Transportation Awards Northeast regional competition.
The winning projects were announced at the Northeast Association of State Transportation Officials annual meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
Fourteen transportation projects from 8 northeastern states and the District of Columbia were judged in three categories; On Time, On Budget, and Innovative Management. The five winning projects are now in the running for the America’s Transportation Awards Grand Prize, which will be presented this fall.
The projects are judged by a panel of experts and compete in three categories: on time, on budget, and innovative management.
The America's Transportation Awards competition, sponsored by AASHTO, AAA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is designed to identify and promote transportation improvements that have made a real difference to the people and businesses in their communities. Transportation is one of the fundamental building blocks on which our society rests, and America's Transportation Awards competition recognizes the best of the best.
