Recognition Awards

Each year, the Washington State Ridesharing Organization honors individuals, teams, and organizations in the transportation demand management (TDM) community who have gone the "extra mile" in demonstrating their commitment to WSRO's mission.

Wall of Fame

The Wall of Fame Awards are an annual part of the Washington State Public Transportation Conference. WSRO selections to the Wall of Fame are WSRO members who have made outstanding contributions to our organization. Whether these honorees have a visible role in the organization or have a "behind the scenes" role, their contributions are vital to the strength of our organization.

Recognition Award

Presented to an individual, a team or an organization in recognition of "excellence in the field of transportation." This award is open to WSRO members and non-members alike who have contributed to WSRO's mission within their community and/or at the state level.
