UITP Awards

Recognising efforts to enhance life in urban areas worldwide

The UITP Awards 2025 will launch soon

As the coveted prize in public transport, the UITP Awards showcase the most ambitious and innovative projects of the last two years in cities and regions around the globe. First launched in 2011, this will be the eighth edition of the Awards.

Projects vying for an award should position public transport as the backbone of urban and local mobility. They should excel at enhancing quality of life in urban areas worldwide by supporting, promoting and advancing public transport.

The UITP Awards cover 9 categories, that encompass the full spectrum of our diverse sector. UITP assembles an impartial expert jury that scores the submitted projects based on their innovation, contribution to the sector, and prospects of transferability to other cities.

The winners for this edition will be announced in a ceremony during the UITP Global Public Transport Summitin Hamburg, which will be held from 15 to 18 June 2025.

Submissions will be opened soon. In the meantime, read our FAQs to prepare for the launch.
