About the ITS Hall of Fame Awards

In 2010 the Board of Directors of the ITS World Congresses decided to recognise personal and corporate achievements by election to the ITS Hall of Fame.  The Awards are a valuable opportunity to highlight the successes of the most outstanding, ambitious and innovative ITS deployments and to reward the people and organisations most worthy of recognition and praise.

There are three categories and each of the three regions who jointly organise the ITS Congresses (i.e. Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas) make their choices based on the achievements made by the candidates in each of the three categories in each of the three regions.
