The American Road & Transportation Builders Association Transportation Development Foundation (ARTBA-TDF) has announced key deadlines for its 2019 scholarship, awards and recognition programs. They include:

The Lanford Family Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship Program

Established in 1999, this first-of-its-kind scholarship fund provides post-high school financial assistance to the children of highway workers killed or permanently disabled on the job. More than 160 scholarships have been awarded to worthy students from 28 states to pursue undergraduate and graduate courses as well as technical training.

Application deadline: April 5.

The Globe Awards

The awards recognize private-sector firms and public-sector transportation agencies that do an outstanding job in protecting and/or enhancing the natural environment in the planning, design and construction of U.S. transportation infrastructure projects, or transportation construction-related product manufacturers and material suppliers that utilize exemplary environmental processes to protect or enhance the natural environment. Winners will be announced at a Foundation awards luncheon on May 14 in the Nation's Capital.

Nomination deadline: April 8.

Transportation Development Hall of Fame

The Hall of Fame recognizes individuals or families from the public and private sectors who have made extraordinary contributions to U.S. transportation development over their lifetime and demonstrated exceptional leadership. Nominations are considered in two categories:
