The Innovation in Education Award recognizes unique or innovative ways of attracting students to or retaining professionals in the field of transportation engineering. It will be presented by the Education Council during the ITE Annual Meeting in St. Louis, MO, in August. Tolliver will receive the award with Martin Pietrucha, director of the Larson Transportation Institute at Pennsylvania State University. Pietrucha was also instrumental in establishing the Transportation Leadership Graduate Certificate Program. The program offers diverse classes in transportation from top transportation faculty at some of the nation's premier institutions. NDSU serves as the administrative home for the program.
