Each submission will be forwarded to the entire judging panel; the panel will consist of independent industry experts.
All categories are awarded a score based on the decision of an independent panel of judges. They determine their decision purely on the basis of the submission from the entrant or nominee.
If an instance occurs where a judge is also a representative of a nominated company or has a relationship with a nominated company which may affect their ability to be impartial, that particular judge will not submit scores for that category.
Our expert judging panel consists of recognised and respected executives within the urban transport industry.

After an initial exchange of ideas the judges will independently select their top 3 from the submitted nominations for each category, which they will rank in order of merit from 1 to 3.
Points will be awarded as follow: 10 points for a ranking of 1, 8 points for a ranking of 2 and 6 points for a ranking of 3. All of the judges scores will then be collated, and the total scores will then be calculated in order to reveal the winner. For each category there will be 1 winner and up to 5 finalists.
In the event of a tie for first place, each company will be asked to submit a tie-breaker entry which will be assessed by the judges to identify the winner.
