Overview
The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy aims to create sustainable, livable, and equitable cities around the world. With this grant, the institute will work with several cities and states to support their goals to advance the deployment of electric three-wheelers. The three-wheeler segment is operated predominantly by the urban poor who disproportionately suffer from polluting engines. Electrifying this segment will substantially improve the lives of three-wheeler operators and their families. (Substrategy: India)

for Integrating Urban Development and Sustainable Transportation Systems in Brazil and Mexico
The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy’s strategy to advocate for better streets and better cities results in cities adopting bus rapid transit; integrating cycling, pedestrian, and transit-oriented development; and reforming parking policies. Each step reduces transportation emissions and improves mobility. This grant would fund the Institute’s work to adopt integrated mobility programs and policies in Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo—a central strategy in reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
