Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper on Friday received the 2009 Mayors’ Climate Protection Award for the FasTracks transit initiative.
The award, sponsored by the the U.S. Conference of Mayors and Wal-Mart Stores, recognizes mayors for innovative practices designed to increase energy efficiency and curb global warming.
An independent panel of judges determined the winners from 140 applicants, including the mayors of Boston; Charleston, S.C.; Chattanooga, Tenn.; San Francisco; and Colorado Springs.
Hickenlooper won first place in the large-city category.
