Celebrating 10 Years Of Collaboration On Public Transportation From WRI & FedEx
In 2010, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities and FedEx partnered to create what is now MAP, with a goal to help transform major public transportation systems across the world, making them safer, more efficient and more sustainable for millions of users.
Mass transport services are critical to providing better mobility and accessibility, helping people take advantage of opportunities in jobs, education and the marketplace, building more equitable societies and more productive local economies. By providing essential data and analysis, convening stakeholders and nurturing local networks, MAP is catalyzing improvements in the quality of public transportation in Brazil, India, China and Mexico.
In Brazil, where buses account for almost 90% of all public transport use, the MAP QualiÔnibus group has focused on boosting ridership, increasing revenue, expanding social equity and more recently, helping public transportation recover after ridership dropped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In India, the urban population is expected to reach 540 million by 2025, requiring 130,000 additional buses to accommodate this growth. Bus Karo, now active in 63 cities, is an ongoing project with transit professionals to expand transit data collection, leverage the data for improved transit operation, and increase equity and accessibility.
