The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) last week honored the First Place winners of its 2023 AdWheel Awads, which recognizes APTA member public transportation systems and business members for “outstanding marketing and communications efforts that contributed to strategic organizational goals.”

More than 100 industry experts evaluated 275 entries and First Place awards were presented at the APTA Marketing & Communications Workshop in Las Vegas in the following four categories:

  • Campaigns on workforce development.
  • Increasing ridership or sales.
  • Educational efforts.
  • Projects to highlight transit needs and funding.

“I am pleased to congratulate the 49 organizations that earned First Place Awards in the 2023 AdWheel Awards,” said APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas. “Their exceptional communications and marketing leads to better customer experiences, better workforce recruitment, higher ridership, and improved mobility for everyone in North America.”

Top First Place winners will face a final round of judging to determine the Grand Awards, which will be presented at APTA’s TRANSform Conference and APTA EXPO®, October 8-11, 2023, in Orlando, Fla.

The First Place winners, which were honored in four groups based on system size, are listed below.

Group 1: Less than four million annual riders; Group 2: 4-20 million annual riders; Group 3: More than 20 million annual riders; and Group 4: Business members. (Based on 2021 ridership data)
