About us
Founded in 1985, the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) has become a leading organization in promoting environmentally sustainable and equitable transportation policies and projects worldwide. ITDP was created by sustainable transport advocates in the U.S. to counteract the export to developing countries of costly and environmentally damaging models of dependence on the private automobile. ITDP focuses on working with municipalities and non-governmental organizations in developing countries to implement projects that show how air pollution, carbon emissions, traffic congestion and accidents can be reduced, or how the basic mobility of the poor can be improved. ITDP primarily focuses on work in the following program areas: * Developing high-quality, low-cost mass transit * Planning and advocacy for cycling and walking * Strengthening the bicycle and rickshaw industries * Revitalizing city centers * Bridging distances: transport for healthcare * Managing traffic demand * Building institutional capacity to plan for and implement sustainable low-carbon transportation * Developing financing tools and incentives to improve transportation system performance and cut GHGs Our projects build local knowledge and skills while generating greater public awareness of viable sustainable transport solutions. They are also used to leverage additional resources from international development institutions, inspire these institutions to change their own priorities, encourage private sector participation, and encourage more participatory and transparent decision-making. ITDP is supported by a wide array of partners, working most closely with Climate Works and the Clinton Climate Initiative.

"Despite recent progress, China’s rail integration plan has faced roadblocks. “China can build things. They can build very good infrastructure,” Daizong Liu said. The bigger challenge is the 'software,' he said — how to get powerful national and urban rail agencies to work together. 'The mechanisms are quite complicated.'" ITDP China 👇 https://lnkd.in/ee_bDEPA

Today, UN #WorldBicycleDay, is an important moment to recognize the many reasons to fall in love with cycling: it’s a simple, affordable, and environmentally-friendly way to get around. Whether it’s part of your daily commute or part of your childhood experience, almost everyone has a personal connection with bicycles. Personally, I have very fond memories of watching the Tour de France from my family’s home in the Pyrenees mountains. We were so pleased to welcome Leszek Sibilski, founder of World Bicycle Day, at an event last week to mark the occasion. He emphasized the importance of the World Bank’s work to expand bicycle infrastructure in more developing countries. This is something that gained a stronger foothold during the pandemic, with many cities increasing demand for dedicated bike lanes combined with larger public transport projects. For more on how cycling – and active mobility more broadly – can help revitalize cities, take a look at a blog and report from my colleague Winnie Wang. https://lnkd.in/dJVxMEiN
