Award Summary
The Inaugural TRB Travel Award was launched at our kick-off event in January 2014. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) conference in Washington DC is one of the premier networking and professional development events for young transportation professionals. This year, YPT is offering two separate travel scholarships of $500 to offset travel, registration, or accommodation costs for you, our loyal members. We hope that this scholarship will enable more of our membership to attend this conference, which YPT nationally co-sponsors (via the TRB Young Members Council).
