| Name: | Institute for Transportation & Development Policy |
| Official Abbreviation: | ITDP |
| Description: |
The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy works with cities worldwide to bring about transport solutions that cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce poverty, and improve the quality of urban life. Cities throughout the world, primarily in developing countries, engage ITDP to provide technical advice on improving their transport systems. ITDP uses its know-how to influence policy and raise awareness globally of the role sustainable transport plays in tackling green house gas emissions, poverty and social inequality. This combination of pragmatic delivery with influencing policy and public attitudes defines our approach. Most recently, ITDP has been instrumental in designing and building the best bus rapid transit systems in the world. |
| Focus and activities: |
ITDP provides technical transport and planning expertise to local authorities in cities around the world. We promote transport solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, while improving urban livability and economic opportunity. ITDP's programs include: 1) public transport, specifically bus rapid transit, 2) cycling, walking, and other non-motorized transport, 3) traffic reduction including congestion charging and parking reform, 4) sustainable urban development, and 5) transport and climate policy. |
