There
are 17 entries in the “Cars and Transportation” category, ranging from
“Best City for Public Transit” (Bogota) to “Best Freight Shipping
Innovation” (giant kites attached to cargo ships). We’ve been selected
“Best Green Transportation Advocacy,” and as of now we’re neck and neck

Nominees are ranked by readers on a scale of 1 to 10. You can read about them here, or skip directly to the voting here. Voting ends at midnight tonight.
