Applications invited for 2012 Transport Achievement Award

Date: 13/12/2011

Individuals and organisations have been invited to put their names forward for the 2012 Transport Achievement Award.

The call for applications was launched in Paris yesterday (December 12th) as part of the International Transport Forum's 2012 Summit on Seamless Transport: Making Connections.

Transport operators, authorities, suppliers, manufacturers and service providers from all sectors are invited to apply and the award recognises initiatives or products that are working to make seamless transport a reality.

Acting Secretary General of the International Transport Forum at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Michael Kloth said: "In an ideal seamless transport model, the system would provide services, connections and real-time information that result in movement of people and goods with minimal planning and effort."

The accolade will be presented to the winning project at the International Transport Forum's summit between May 2nd and 4th in Leipzig, Germany.

Earlier this month, the organisation held a roundtable in Paris to discuss major infrastructure projects and how they can affect economies.
