2015 Sustainable Transportation Awards and Forum
To celebrate Clean Air Month and to honor outstanding advances in the area of transportation, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation is hosting a Sustainable Transportation Forum and Awards Ceremony, May 7, at Memphis Central Station. The Tennessee Department of Transportation is proud to partner on this effort.
Attendees will hear about projects that have been conducted across Tennessee that include technological advances, operational improvements, community enhancements, and effective strategies. The fast-paced event will include interactive learning, exciting and inspiring speakers, networking, and an in-depth question answer period with the honorees.
Interesting in presenting? We are seeking "One Big Idea" presentations that will quickly detail a project or initiative that your organization completed and inspire the attendees to replicate. Send a brief description to Christina.Treglia@tn.gov with the subject line "Sustainable Transportation."
