The winners of the fourth annual CiTTi Awards have been revealed!
The winners were announced during a glittering gala dinner held on Tuesday 25 November 2025 at the historic De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in central London.
Hosted by acclaimed comedian Lucy Porter, the ceremony championed and celebrated the hard work and innovation demonstrated by UK public-sector organisations and their private-sector partners in enabling the sustainable, safe and efficient movement of people, goods and materials through urban environments.
With some 200 transport professionals in attendance, the finalists comprised more than 100 entries from over 130 organisations across 20 categories that highlighted achievements in areas including – but not limited to – active travel, clean air, electric vehicle charging, fleet innovation, last-mile delivery, public transport, road safety, and smart parking.
