An annual paper competition from the Institute of Transportation Engineers that encourages student members to carry out and report independent original research on traffic or transportation engineering topics. The winner receives a trophy or plaque presented at the ITE Annual Meeting Awards Luncheon, travel reimbursement of up to $1,000, free annual meeting registration and a ticket to the awards luncheon. Papers must have a single student author — advisors may be listed but cannot be co-authors — and are submitted first to the ITE District Awards Coordinator before districts forward entries to the national competition. The award honours Daniel B. Fambro of Texas A&M.
