FHWA has announced the opening of the 2024 Environmental Excellence Awards (EEA) Program, which recognizes outstanding transportation projects, processes, and organizations that incorporate environmental stewardship into the planning and project development processes using Federal Highway Administration funding.

This biennial program was developed by FHWA to honor those partners, projects, and processes that excel in meeting growing transportation needs while protecting and enhancing the environment. Whether working in partnership with states, organizations, businesses, or individuals, FHWA encourages environmental stewardship and increased awareness of the successes that can be achieved by incorporating environmental excellence into everyday work.

Who is Eligible

FHWA accepts nominations for any project, process, group, or individuals involved in a project or process that used FHWA funding to make an outstanding contribution to transportation and the environment. Any organization, agency, group, or individual in the public, private, or non-profit sectors may submit a nomination for the 2024 EEAs.
