Each year, the Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers sponsors an awards program to honour outstanding achievement in transportation engineering and distinguished service to CITE.  The awards, presented annually at the CITE Annual Conference Awards Luncheon, bestow national recognition upon the recipients and increase the public's awareness of the role and responsibilities of the transportation practitioner. 

CITE is currently seeking nominations for its two practitioner awards, the H. Robert Burton Distinguished Service Award and the Outstanding Voluntary Contribution Award.

 H. Robert Burton Distinguished Service Award

 CITE’s most prestigious award is named after a man who dedicated much of his life to the transportation profession.  Bob Burton spent his entire career practicing and promoting traffic engineering in Canada.  A founder of the original Canadian Section in 1951, he was still attending CITE Toronto Section meetings right up to his death at the age of 101 years.

 Each year, CITE recognizes an individual member who has shown these same qualities that Bob Burton practiced with the H. Robert Burton Distinguished Service Award.  Nominees will have demonstrated a notable career in the field and have a record of service with CITE.

 Outstanding Voluntary Service Award

 CITE grants this award to a member or members making an outstanding voluntary contribution to CITE or one of its projects during the previous year.

 Nominations for both awards will be received until March 15, 2008.  Submissions may be in the form of a fax or email stating the name of the individual and a brief description of why the member should be considered for the award (specify which award).  Please direct submissions to:
