Find the data you need
UITP’s Information Centre is a one-stop shop for data and information. Thanks to MOBI+, our e-library available exclusively to members, you can have easy access to the full texts of UITP’s studies and conference papers, as well as references to books, articles and websites. A picture library and statistics on public transport operators are also available, and tailor-made targeted research can be provided to members on request.
Facts and figures at your fingertips
UITP gathers and analyses up-to-date facts and figures which support sound transport policies. We have developed a range of products to provide members with quantitative and qualitative information on key aspects of public transport and urban mobility, notably the Mobility in Cities Database (MCD).
Stay in touch
UITP Direct is the UITP monthly newsletter. It keeps our members in touch with all the news about UITP’s many activities and initiatives.
UITP’s dynamic website, www.uitp.org has been revamped in 2007. It acts as a gateway to a wealth of knowledge on public transport and provides the most up-to-date information on UITP’s activities.
