In the operators’ competition, Miami-Dade Transit took first place; Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon, second place; and Dallas Area Rapid Transit, third place.
In the maintainers’ competition, Denver RTD earned first place, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, second, and St. Louis Metro, third.
