Day 3 🎉 It's a Wrap! 🎉 From September 9th to 12th, we gathered at the iconic Bellagio Center from The Rockefeller Foundation at Lake Como for Emergent + Empowered. This powerful convening brought together voices from across the globe. Twenty leaders from transport workers, labor organizers, research institutions, climate NGOs, funders, and multilateral development banks came together, representing countries like Brazil, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Germany, Mexico, Spain, South Africa, Thailand, Uganda, the UK, and the US. Together, we developed a shared vision, launched strategic initiatives, and issued a Call to Action aimed at: 🔑 Prioritizing popular transport at all policy levels 📊 Establishing a solid data and evidence pathway 💼 Securing future funding for small and medium enterprises in popular transport 🌱 Promoting sustainability across the sector What an ending! But the real work starts now. The collective commitment we built these days doesn't end here—it propels us forward. We're not saying goodbye; we're saying, "Let's get to work." 💪 Here’s to the rickshaws, matatus, jeepneys, boda bodas, and mototaxis of the world. You move millions, and now, millions must move for you! 🌍🚀 #PopularTransport #PRISM #GNPT #SustainableMobility #GlobalSouth #MobilityFuture Edgar Gabriels - 7th Avenue Taxi Owners Association - Cape Town Jamie Leather - Transport Sector Office Sectors Group, Asian Development Bank (ADB) Bianca Macêdo - Clean Transport Finance, C40 Cities Jacqueline Klopp - Center for Sustainable Urban Development, Columbia Climate School Xinyuan Wen - Climate, Children's Investment Fund Foundation Apiwat Ratanawaraha - Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Chulalongkorn University Athena Ronquillo-Ballesteros - Global Climate Strategies, Climate Leadership Initiative Andrea San Gil León (she/her) - Global Network for Popular Transportation John Mark Mwanika - Urban Transport Committee and Sustainable Transport Working Group, International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) Clay Stranger - RMI Benjamin de la Peña - Shared-Use Mobility Center Maruxa Cardama - SLOCAT Partnership on Sustainable, Low Carbon Transport Mohamed Momtaz Hegazy - Transport for Cairo Roger Behrens - Center for Transport Studies, University of Cape Town Holger Dalkmann - VREF Volvo Research and Educational Foundations Yuleina Carmona - WIEGO - Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing, Mexico City Binyam Reja - Transport Global Practice, The World Bank Bank Felipe Ramírez Buitrago - WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities Hind Ourahou - MPP candidate, Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford With Ana Javier Quintero Montero, from Micelio, as our Facilitator

Day 2 at Bellagio Center was future focused. We dove deep into visioning, challenging paradigms, and developing strategic pathways for action: Visioning the Future: We embraced bold aspirations for the popular transportation sector, setting measurable targets for the next five years. The emerging collective vision is both inspiring and actionable. Challenging Paradigms: Our discussions uncovered systemic biases marginalizing the popular transportation sector. We're committed to shifting narratives and dismantling power structures that disadvantage communities relying on or lacking access to popular transport. Strategic Pathways to Action: We transformed insights into concrete, actionable initiatives. Our focus: developing a Strategic Global Agenda that will drive the success of popular transportation worldwide. The energy in the room was electric as we tackled challenging questions about equity, justice, and the role of popular transport in sustainable urban development. We're witnessing the birth of a movement! Stay tuned for our final outcomes. #GNPT #PopularTransport #SustainableUrbanMobility #ClimateAction #BellagioCenter
