Robert Burton Distinguished Service Award

ITE Canada’s most prestigious award, the H. Robert Burton Distinguished Service Award, is named after a man who dedicated much of his life to the traffic engineering profession. Bob Burton spent his entire career practicing and promoting traffic engineering. A founder of the original Canadian Section in 1951, he was still attending CITE (now ITE Canada) Toronto Section meetings right up to his death at the age of 101 years.

Each year, ITE Canada recognizes an individual member who has shown these same qualities that Bob Burton practiced. Nominees will have demonstrated a notable career in the field and have a record of service with ITE Canada. The H. Robert Burton Distinguished Service Award is presented at the annual awards luncheon.

Nominations may be made by following the link below stating the name of the individual, and a brief description of why the member should be considered for the award.

Application deadline is March 1st.
