Urban areas are facing declining public transport ridership, exacerbating environmental pollution and social inequality. This event, co-organized by IDOS, UN Environment, and ITDP, explored policies to strengthen public transport, focusing on fiscal support, digitalization, and formalization. While money, tech, and the private sector are key drivers, good governance forms the bedrock for accelerating access. The panel showcased success stories from around the world, including from the IKI ACCESS project. It discussed how strategic investments and digital technologies can revolutionize urban mobility, making cities more equitable and green.
