Roy W. Crum Distinguished Service Award

The Award recognizes outstanding achievement in the performance and production of fundamental or developmental transportation-related research. It is also a lifetime achievement award, and the recipient should be someone who has distinguished themselves through advances in transportation because of their personal portfolio of research over the course of their career.

In 1948 the Highway Research Board established an award in recognition of outstanding achievement in the field of transportation research. This award was known as the Highway Research Board Distinguished Service Award until 1952, when the Executive Committee designated it the Roy W. Crum Distinguished Service Award as a memorial to the Board's director, Roy W. Crum, who served as head of the HRB staff from 1928 until his death in 1951.

Who Can Nominate

Anyone currently or formally in the transportation research or research implementation fields.
