New industry awards program will recognize the leaders, teams, and frontline professionals shaping the future of transit, with winners honored live in San Antonio at the 2026 Transit Mobility Alliance Conference
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Transit Technologies today announced the launch of the inaugural TMAC Client Impact Awards, a new recognition program celebrating the people and teams driving transit forward. Nominations are open now through October 2, 2026, and winners will be honored live on Thursday, October 29, during the 2026 Transit Mobility Alliance Conference (TMAC) in San Antonio, Texas.
“Every day, transit professionals solve problems that most riders never see: a reroute that saves a commute, a maintenance fix that keeps a fleet moving, a program that brings transportation to a community that didn’t have it before,” said Gerry Leonard, CEO at Transit Technologies. “The Client Impact Awards exist to put those people on stage and say: what you do matters, and the industry is watching.”
Behind every successful transit system are the people who make it happen, from agency leaders and frontline staff to the teams working behind the scenes. It’s their dedication that keeps service running, improves the rider experience, and strengthens the communities transit serves. The Client Impact Awards were created to bring that work into the spotlight, in front of an audience of peers who understand exactly what it takes.
