Annual Report - ITDP | Institute for Transportation and Development ...

Mission
Founded in 1985, the Institute for Transportation and
Development Policy (ITDP) is a leading organization in the
promotion of sustainable and equitable transportation
policies and projects worldwide. ITDP is at the forefront of
efforts to reduce carbon emissions, protect the environment,
enhance economic opportunity, and improve the
quality of urban life.
By providing technical transport and planning expertise
to local authorities, ITDP helps cities to: build bus
rapid transit (BRT) systems, develop high quality cycling
and walking facilities, manage traffic demand, and promote
pedestrian and transit-oriented development.
ITDP’s work also extends to guiding transport and
climate policy at all levels of government. Every ITDP
project builds local knowledge and skills while generating
greater public awareness of viable sustainable transport
solutions. In addition, completed projects serve as demonstrations—inspiring
other cities towards more environmentally
and people-friendly transportation.
ITDP has offices in Argentina, Brazil, China, Hungary,
India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the United States; employs
more than 80 staff members; and supplements this
team with leading architects, urban planners, transport
experts, developers, and financiers.
