The initiative consists of two competitions for transport research awards to be announced at the TRA conference in 2024, namely:

• The TRA VISIONS 2024 senior researcher competition: A competition for senior researchers in the field of innovative transport concepts based on results only from EU-funded projects.

Moreover, there is also the "Special honorary award": An special award for honouring a “very” senior researcher who is about to complete or has already completed their career, and who has through the years made an outstanding and well-recognized contribution to transport-related research and innovation in their respective field. Someone who has, throughout their career, demonstrated groundbreaking and future-oriented views and research.

The competitions are divided into five categories, each per transport mode, with participants being able to choose which of the ways they will submit their project:
