Nominations are now closed for Mass Transit magazine's 2025 40 Under 40 class.

We will recognize 40 individuals for their contributions and a job well done as part of the July/August cover feature. It is not a ranking, but rather a listing of individuals who have shown a capacity for innovation, demonstrated leadership and a commitment to making an impact in transit. Honorees will be notified on or around June 17 and publicly announced on August 19.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a nomination. Nominations for the 2026 class of 40 Under 40 will open next year in the spring.
