40 Under 40 Awards

Recognizing 40 TDM Professionals Under the Age of 40

Every year at the TDM Forum, ACT recognizes a group of young professionals with its 40 Under 40 Awards. These awards are given to ambitious leaders working to find creative solutions to improve the quality of life of all commuters and the livability of communities, and developing TDM programs that shift behavior. Transportation affects everyone, and these inspiring individuals are creating a better journey for everyone.

We look forward to recognizing this year's 40 Under 40 recipients during our awards ceremony and reception on November 15th at the TDM Forum.

Questions on the nomination form include:

Nominee date of birth
Number of years in TDM
A summary of what makes the candidate stand out
A brief description of the nominee as a leader in TDM and any major accomplishments, including publications, awards, certifications, etc. (Max 300 words)
A brief statement on how the nominee has contributed to improving TDM access for under-represented, marginalized, and BIPOC communities
A statement on how the nominator sees the nominee making a positive impact on the TDM community in the next 3-5 years

Nominations must be submitted by an ACT member. However, the nominee does not have to be an ACT member to receive the 40 Under 40 Award. Nominees must be under the age of 40 at the time of the TDM Forum in November in order to be eligible. Self nominations are accepted.

We encourage nominees to plan ahead for travel to the TDM Forum.
