Our newly-released research – “The
Future of Public Transport” – shows that
investing in public transport and the workers who
have kept our cities running throughout the
COVID-19 pandemic would have far-reaching impacts
for our communities, including:
● Creating
4.6 million new jobs by 2030 across 100 cities
● Cutting emissions from urban transport
by more than half by 2030, compared to business as
usual
● Reducing air pollution from transport by
as much as 45% in some cities
● Protecting workers in lower-income and
service sector jobs who rely on public transport
for their livelihoods
● Connecting city
residents to work, education, leisure and each
other
Led by mayors, workers,
union leaders and commuters in cities around the
world, this campaign underscores what has long
been true: public transport systems are a critical
part of the fabric of our
cities. |
