The shortlist for CiTTi Awards 2025 has been officially revealed!
Organised by City Transport & Traffic Innovation Magazine (CiTTi), the UK’s leading business publication for urban transport and traffic professionals, the CiTTi Awards recognise and champion the hard work and innovation demonstrated by public- and private-sector organisations in enabling the clean, safe and efficient movement of people, goods and materials through urban environments.
The 2025 CiTTi Awards saw a record number of entries submitted for consideration for the fourth iteration of these prestigious awards.
In early September, CiTTi Magazine deputy editor Reuben Henry-Fellows – along with the rest of the CiTTi Magazine team – shortlisted the entries for a panel of 41 sector-leading judges to evaluate in October.
“The success of the 2024 CiTTi Awards reflects the increased number entries from a wider selection of partnerships, with the list of finalists drawn from the biggest and most influential organisations in urban mobility,” said Henry-Fellows.
“All that stands between us and the winning entries is the arduous and thorough task of judging each individual project, with 41 of the industry’s leading experts set to preside over the process.
“Their support, and the largest selection of entrants yet, is a testament to the strength of the industry
and importance of championing groundbreaking projects.”
This year’s finalists include local government, transport authorities, transport operators and, in some cases, their project partners, chiefly technology companies and solution providers, demonstrating the importance of public-private partnerships as a catalyst for sustainable transport development in urban centres.
The winners will be publicly revealed at a glittering gala ceremony on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in central London.
It’s set to be a fabulous occasion and a true celebration of some fantastic efforts and success stories from the past 12 months, with some 200 UK transport professionals in attendance.
