CITE Awards

Robert Burton Distinguished Service Award

Every year the Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers (CITE) bestows its most prestigious award, the H. Robert Burton Distinguished Service Award, which is named after a man who dedicated much of his life to the traffic engineering profession. Bob Burton spent his entire career practicing and promoting traffic engineering. 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. Nominees will have demonstrated a notable career in the field and have a record of service with CITE. The H. Robert Burton Distinguished Service Award is presented at the annual awards luncheon.

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.

Application Deadline: April 1, 2010
