The Goal Is Simple
The TCOE Awards are meant to publicly and meaningfully recognize great people and organizations who have the most tremendous impact on our state’s high quality transportation-related education programs.
We are proud to sponsor these awards to educators, advocates, supporters, and industry partners, for their outstanding contributions to the field of transportation education. Award recipients are nominated by their peers and are selected by the TCOE Awards Committee each summer. We sincerely hope you will use this opportunity to help us recognize and promote the good work that is happening across the state of Minnesota.
