The Council Leadership Team Awards (formerly Coordinating Council) recognizes outstanding technical committee contributions to the ITE Council Leadership Team program. Selection is based primarily on the significance of the committee's contributions to the transportation engineering profession, the extent to which it met its objective, and the value and usefulness of the form in which its work is reported.
The Council Leadership Project Excellence Award recognizes the best technical product resulting from work developed, completed and sponsored by a Council in the previous calendar year. This award is not limited to only volunteer projects.
The Council Leadership Team's Jeff Lindley Personal and Technical Excellence Award (formerly the Outstanding Volunteer Award) is given to an individual in recognition of their lasting contributions to the community of transportation professionals.
