The initiative will award some of the region’s top student minds for their proposals of innovative and sustainable transport solutions in a special awards ceremony on the sidelines of Gulf Traffic 2016, which will be held from 13 to 15 November at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

According to TRL, sustainable transport solutions are crucially important for dynamic and expanding countries such as the UAE, in order to enable the transport of people and goods for work, education and leisure in a way that is both socially and environmentally sustainable.

The TRL Student Award aims to generate unique ideas from students for transport solutions that promote socially and environmentally friendly modes of transport, aiding government drives toward fully sustainable, smart cities. In addition, the scope of the Sustainable Transport topic means that different academic disciplines can participate and provide new perspectives and fresh ideas.   

All students must register and submit their entries by visiting the %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal website Visit www.gulftraffic.com website false http://www.gulftraffic.com/en/Awards/Awards2016/#award_trlstd false false%>.
