According to the 3833 International Association of Public Transport (UITP), 58 cities and regions around the world have joined its ‘All together for public transport growth’ movement, sending a united call for greater investment in public transport to improve the world’s urban environments.
To coincide with European Mobility Week, 16-22 September, cities and regions across the globe will display the rallying slogan ‘Grow’ on and in public transport vehicles, stations, stops, websites and social media.
UITP launched the ‘Grow with Public Transport’ campaign in 2012 to support its ambition of doubling the market share of public transport worldwide by 2025. The campaign targets policy markers around the world to raise awareness of the urgent need for more and better public transport.
“The fact that 58 of some of the world’s most well-known cities and regions have come together across five continents and 28 countries to call for more and better public transport is really encouraging,” said UITP Secretary General, Alain Flausch. “This just goes to show how widespread the movement for sustainable mobility is”.
A press conference in Brussels on 18 September during European Mobility Week will announce the final results.
