Moshe Givoni Prize

Named in Memory of Moshe Givoni, this prize has been set up to celebrate the contributions he made to transport research and to the running of Transport Reviews for over 10 years as Associate Editor. First presented in 2020, the award recognizes the outstanding scholarship of many of the papers published in the Journal. Each year, the Editors will select the best paper published in Transport Reviews over the previous calendar year. Winners receive a certificate, citation and a prize of €500.

We are delighted to announce that the 2022 Moshe Givoni Prize was awarded to Konstantinos Gkiotsalitis and Oded Cats for their joint paper entitled: “Public transport planning adaption under the COVID-19 pandemic crisis: literature review of research needs and directions”. This paper was published in the third issue of 2021 (volume 41, issue 3), and was an outstanding contribution to the Journal as it provides an overview of literature on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transport use, and its risk of virus transmission. Furthermore, the paper also identifies intervention measures that can support public transport service providers to safely increase ridership after the pandemic to pre-COVID levels. This paper has already received a lot of attention (with more than 36,000 views and 42 CrossRef citations in 14 months) and is likely to be an important document for public transport researchers and operators in the coming years.
