The iRAP Peter Kissinger Memorial Award honours the great road safety work by Peter Kissinger.
In recognition of his great contribution to iRAP, the Peter Kissinger Memorial Award is awarded to the iRAP Staff Member who most emulates the iRAP values and spirit that Peter demonstrated in practice each day.
Peter was een voorvechter van verkeersveiligheid, collega en vriend van iRAP. Hij was bestuurslid van iRAP van 2005 tot 2019, president en CEO van de AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety (2002 tot 2016) en verbonden aan de Civil Engineering Research Foundation van 1992 tot 2001.
The nominations were shortlisted by iRAP’s Chairman – Mr Gary Liddle, and chosen by Willie Kissinger, Peter’s wife.
Willie used the iRAP values and looked for characteristics that made her think of Peter. We are thrilled that Willie was able to provide the final decision and will continue to be involved with this award for years to come.
