The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) promotes environmentally sustainable and equitable transportation policies and projects worldwide. ITDP helps municipalities and local non-governmental organizations implement projects which demonstrate how transport emissions and accidents can be reduced or the basic mobility of the poor can be improved.

Programmes include bus rapid transit, congestion pricing, pedestrianisation, bicycle and pedestrian planning, brownfield revitalisation, bicycle and cycle rickshaw modernisation, the development of buyers’ cooperatives among independent bicycle dealers, and emerging work in health service delivery logistics. It is currently active in Indonesia, India, South Africa, Senegal, Ghana, Brazil, Mexico, China, and Tanzania.
