NADO is pleased to recognize winners of the 2016 Excellence in Regional Transportation Awards. This year, the awards program is recognizing 30 noteworthy projects that help meet regional needs in innovative ways, through cooperation with partners, increasing system and community resilience, and in many cases, using creative funding. These award-winning projects serve as models for many different transportation program areas that RDOs engage in. Learn more and meet the winners at a special networking reception held during the 2016 National Regional Transportation Conference, June 13 – 15 in Chattanooga, TN.
