Institute For Transportation And Development Policy

Description

• 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 GHGsOur 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.
