Electric cars alone won’t save the climate. To limit global heating, cities must get drivers out of cars and into reliable, all-electric bus systems. By doing so, cities can lower housing and transport costs for residents, cut pollution, enhance livability, and promote equity. 

At this event, in line with ITDP’s year of the bus, you will hear inspiring stories from Asia, Latin America, Africa, and North America, where electric bus systems are effectively cutting carbon emissions, while delivering affordable, accessible, world-class transportation to rapidly-growing cities. Policymakers, sustainable transportation experts, and climate funders will share how they collaborate to overcome political, financial, and technological challenges, and illuminate key lessons learned for other global cities charting the path to electric transport for all.

Please note that this is an in-person event taking place in New York City. As a part of Climate Week NY, this event is co-hosted by the ITDP, Crux Alliance, International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), Drive Electric Campaign, the Aspen Global Change Institute (AGCI), Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP), and NY Climate Exchange.
