Institute for Transportation & Development Policy - ITDP - (41 pages).
Recent years have emphasized the inadequacy of many cities’ transportation paradigms. The status quo of car-oriented development has been worsening inequality, access, and environmental conditions, as well as increasing road crashes, fatalities, and injuries. This has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate emergency. Such crises,
however, have made the importance of public transport clearer than ever. From ensuring equity and shared economic prosperity to building resilience and lowering carbon emissions, good public transport can radically transform our cities and our future for the better.
In response to these crises, we needed to consider and articulate what the future of public transport should look like and how we can shape it. Over the past year, we have been doing just that. Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) and the Volvo Research and Educational Foundations (VREF) convened a Mobilize Learning Lab that gathered transport researchers and practitioners from around the world to discuss the future of public transport, around themes of equity, resilience, and financial sustainability.
