The objective of this course is to:

• Learn about the key dynamics shaping the future of transport and how to stay on the cutting edge of policy making and design.
• Equip yourself with a set of new tools to measure and improve transport system performance to reach the SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement, including the Global Tracking Framework for Transport, the Policy Catalogue, and the interactive Policy-Decision-making Tool for Sustainable Mobility.
• Join this cutting-edge movement of innovations in transport policy and help shape your country's efforts on mobility.

Week 1: The Imperative for a New Approach to Transport Policy ****

An introductory module that covers the key dynamics and challenges that impose a new approach to transport policy-making.

Rooted in overall trends in transport, speakers and presentations will discuss the key dynamics that are shaping the future of mobility, including globalization, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement, progress on data and technology, and new societal trends on governance, and equity and inclusion.

The implications of each will be reviewed in the context of what is needed to respond to these trends and how it impacts the design and planning of transport policy.

Week 2: Defining a Path Forward using Data ****

Once the need and imperative for a new approach to transport policy are established, how can data be used for improved decision-making in transport?

This module covers the definition of “sustainable mobility” and the power of data to track and monitor country performance on sustainable mobility, diagnose and prioritize transport issues, and rank countries on a global mobility scale.

Week 3: Crowd-Sourced Policy & Actions through Strategic Iterations ****

Once a country’s performance and pathways to improved mobility are established, what are the policy levers and measures that can be used to make progress towards sustainable mobility?

This module covers the first-ever global catalogue of policy instruments to respond to country mobility challenges. It will also introduce the thinking behind the selection algorithm applied to the catalogue to generate country-tailored action plans. ****

Week 4: Adapting to Country Needs & Reaching Targets ****

The experience of designing, testing, and implementing this new approach offers many lessons learned and inspires ideas for future engagement at the regional, country, and municipal levels.

This module introduces the experience of multilateral development banks, countries, and municipalities that have adjusted their approach to transport policy to respond to a fast-changing environment.

Finally, the module closes with ideas about the next generation of this approach and a call for collaboration.
