Institute for Transportation and Development Policy

Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) is a pioneering organization founded in 1985, dedicated to advancing environmentally sustainable and equitable transportation policies globally. With a focus on countering the export of environmentally damaging transportation models, particularly in developing countries, ITDP collaborates with municipalities and non-governmental organizations to implement projects that address issues such as air pollution, carbon emissions, traffic congestion, and mobility challenges for the underserved. The organization's program areas encompass a range of impactful initiatives, including developing high-quality, cost-effective mass transit, advocating for cycling and walking, revitalizing city centers, and advancing transport for healthcare. ITDP also prioritizes building institutional capacity and developing financing tools to enhance transportation system performance and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ITDP's projects not only contribute to local knowledge and skill development but also raise awareness regarding sustainable transport solutions. The organization fosters collaboration with partners such as Climate Works and the Clinton Climate Initiative, leveraging these relationships to secure additional resources and influence international development institutions and the private sector. This approach aims to promote more participatory and transparent decision-making in sustainable transportation development. While there is no available information regarding the last investment received by ITDP or its investors, the organization continues to exemplify a commitment to driving impactful change in transportation and urban development, aligning with the ethos of 'Better streets. Better cities. Better lives' embodied in its slogan.
