November 17, 2014
Bus rapid transit has grown by 383 percent in the last ten years, according to new data released by ITDP.

A new interactive map shows a comprehesive ...Read MoreITDP Releases New Study on Climate Change Ahead of UN Climate Summit
September 17, 2014
As world leaders gather for the United Nations Secretary-General’s Climate Summit on September 23rd, ITDP and the University of California, Davis, have released a new report on the impact of transportation emissions on our climate future. According to the new study, more than USD$100 trillion in cumulative public and private spending could be saved, and ...Read MoreIn Guatemala City, Surface Metro Takes Shape
January 1, 2003
The initial line, expected to be complete in six months, is only the first part of a long-term vision for a city-wide BRT system called Trans Metro. The expected cost of the system is a rather economical $600,000 per km constructed. To make the Bus Rapid Transit corridors viable, the municipality has made the difficult ...Read MoreGutsy Mayors to Liberate London and Paris from Autocracy
January 1, 2003
Mayor Delanoë was publicly derided for his sustainable transport bent until his Paris-Plage – a pedestrian area on the Seine river reclaimed from the Georges-Pompidou Expressway – proved a resounding success. He is still taking a lot of heat, however, for widespread traffic delays caused by extensive busway and cycleway construction. Meanwhile, across the Channel, Mayor ...Read MorePeople Power: The Citizens Behind Bogotá‘s Urban Revolution
January 1, 2003
As the story of Bogotá‘s makeover captivates more and more decision-makers around the world, another story is emerging: Bogotá’s social triumph. The transformation in urban structure is mirrored by a transformation of the collective psyche of city. For every new busway, bike path, and Car Free Sunday, there are thousands helping commuters make the most ...Read MoreUnited States Finds Alternative to Middle Eastern Oil
January 1, 2003
In the May/June 2002 Sustainable Transport e-Update, ITDP reported that U.S. congressional representatives—particularly those who receive campaign dollars from Big Oil and the automobile and highway lobbies—voted against raising vehicle fuel efficiency standards. The standards would have helped wean the U.S. off its increasingly expensive oil habit. Now that the Middle East is more flammable ...Read MoreMeanwhile, England Plans to Build Roads and Cut Rail
January 1, 2003
The Strategic Rail Authority, which oversees Britain’s private passenger rail franchises, has asked contractors to submit budgets assuming a 20 percent cut in government contributions. The funding reduction would stop plans for service improvements and could lead to large service reductions and a fare increase. Service cuts could come as early as next spring, just ...Read More‘Catalyst for Change’ or Green Wash?: NGOs Respond to Mobility 2001 Report
September 1, 2002
The million-dollar Mobility 2001 study mostly covers familiar territory. While not as biased as one would expect given its sponsors, it generalizes too much from US experience. It also lacks insights into the very subjects these corporations should be strongest, such as projections for future oil reserves, and trends in cleaner vehicle technology development. As ...Read MoreNeither Reason Nor Snipers Can Stop It: The Trans-Israel Highway Lurches Forward
September 1, 2002
When local snipers targeted construction workers, the government decided to build a bulletproof wall to protect cars from bullets. (Last November, the government had to use considerable force to move some 400 Palestinian demonstrators who protested against their land been taken for road construction.) Further eroding potential ridership are delays in the lateral connecting roads ...Read MoreEuropean Bank for Reconstruction and Development Issues New Property Policy

September 1, 2002
This year’s tour was the biggest so far since it started in 1999. There were a total of around 700 registered riders, and about 2000 riders in total. This can be attributed to an unprecedented media blitz in print and television through partnerships with The Philippine Daily Inquirer and Bantay Kalikasan. Other sponsors that helped in ...Read MoreQuito Paves Over Good Intentions
September 1, 2002
Included in this vision are the following components: Restructure the road network to provide better access to key destinations and to facilitate the passing of traffic outside of central urban zones. Improve the public transport sector by implementing transit corridors that feature exclusive bus lanes. Create disincentives to private vehicle use by introducing restrictions through traffic management techniques, ...Read More
