The International Association of Public Transport (UITP) was founded in 1885 and works to enhance quality of life and economic well-being by supporting and promoting sustainable transport in urban areas worldwide
As a passionate champion of sustainable urban mobility, UITP is internationally recognised for its work to advance the development of this critical policy agenda. With more than 1900 members in 100 countries, UITP has a long history to its name, and is the only worldwide network to bring together all public transport stakeholders and all sustainable transport modes.
Across the globe and every day, people rely on public transport to bring them to school, to work, to sports clubs and cafés. In using public transport millions travel more sustainably, safer and actively while bringing economic benefit to their community. UITP supports the entire sector to ultimately guarantee that public transport and its workers continue to bring cities to life.
It represents the perspective of public transport services by all modes: bus, regional and suburban rail, metro, light rail and tram, new mobility players and waterborne.
With our HQ in Brussels, Belgium we have 16 offices around the world and release publications and statistics, organise events, lead research & innovation project and deliver training sessions with a focus on knowledge, advocacy and networking.
