Twelve projects from 10 state departments of transportation are finalists for the 2016 America’s Transportation Awards competition, selected by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), AAA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Online voting for the People’s Choice Award will continue through Oct. 31, 2016, at AmericasTransportationAwards.org. A panel of experts will select the Grand Prize winner.
