Journal of Transportation Engineering Best Paper Awards

Chris Hendrickson

Editor in Chief

Our goal in publishing papers is to make useful contributions to the state of knowledge and practice for transportation engineering. As part of our process we recognize outstanding papers each year as selected by our Editorial Board. Only those papers receiving at least one award quality designation in the review process are considered by the editorial board; winners generally have multiple award quality designations.The role of the referees in selecting the best papers as well as in enhancing the quality of the journal is absolutely critical. They are the pillars on which the reputation of the journal rests, and we all owe them our gratitude. A listing of the award winners for 2015 appear below along with past winners. Congratulations to all our award winners!
