Best Paper Award

The Committee annually recognizes one paper for excellence from all of the papers submitted to the Committee during each annual Call for Papers for the TRB Annual Meeting. The award is presented at the Annual Meeting in the following year (e.g., the Best Paper presented at the 2012 Annual Meeting is recognized at the 2013 meeting).

Papers are reviewed by Committee members and friends, based on review criteria established by TRB.
