UITP - the International Association of Public Transport - will announce the winners at a ceremony on 16 June during the UITP Summit in Hamburg, Germany, which runs from 15-18 June 2025.

Categories cover a variety of public transportation touchpoints, such as Diversity & Inclusion, Multimodal Integration, Operational Excellence, Technological Innovation and Public and Urban Transport Strategy. There is also a Young Researchers award.

"Projects vying for an award should position public transport as the backbone of urban and local mobility," says UITP in a statement. "They should excel at enhancing quality of life in urban areas worldwide by supporting, promoting and advancing public transport."

The jury will review entries between March and May, and score the projects "based on their innovation, contribution to the sector, and prospects of transferability to other cities".

The Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai is sponsor for the 2025 edition of the UITP Awards.

The UITP Summit - which used to be a biennial event but is now annual - will be held in Dubai in 2026, before moving back to Hamburg in 2027.
