International Transport Forum 52d ago

Local leaders – whether from cities, communities, or youth networks – are increasingly shaping transport resilience from the ground up. This session will showcase how vision-led transport, understood as a shared, outcomes-based vision involving local communities, guides priorities, aligns funders and anchors delivery. It will feature concrete examples of how grassroots action, community-driven planning, and innovative local financing translate that vision into projects that are more effective, resource-efficient, and deliver benefits for all. - How can local leadership improve the impact and accountability of resilience investments? - What grassroots financing models are helping deliver long-term results on limited budgets? - How can funders better support locally led solutions in their financing frameworks?
