Mass Transit magazine presents its annual opportunity to recognize outstanding young individuals making a name in the public transit industry.

Mass Transit 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.

Let the industry acknowledge you or your colleague for dedication to the transit industry. If you or your colleague will be 39 years old or younger on July 1, 2024, you are eligible to be nominated for Mass Transit magazine’s 40 Under 40.

Criteria for selection include such things as job commitment, industry involvement and contribution, achievement in his or her position and innovation in his or her field. While no candidate may possess all criteria, we are looking to reward those who deserve recognition for their efforts.

Submit your nomination today!

Deadline for submissions is Sunday, May 12, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. Central.

There will be no exception for late entrees and no additional materials should be emailed to editors in support of an entry.

Honorees will be notified by July 1 and publicly announced on August 20.

While there is no limit to how many nominees can be submitted from an individual entity, we will limit final honorees to no more than two from a single organization to showcase the breadth of talent across the industry.
