Overview
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.
