About
Who we are
UITP (Union Internationale des Transports Publics) is the International Association of Public Transport and a passionate champion of sustainable urban mobility. Established in 1885, with more than 135 years of history, it is the only worldwide network to bring together all public transport stakeholders and all sustainable transport modes.
Across the globe and every day, people rely on public transport to bring them to school, to work, to sports clubs and cafés. In using public transport millions travel more sustainably, safer and actively while bringing economic benefit to their community. UITP supports the entire sector to ultimately guarantee that public transport and its workers continue to bring cities to life.

Celebrating Diversity & Inclusion at UITP – Diversity in motion
Diversity and Inclusion is at the heart of UITP’s DNA: as a global association working to improve lives worldwide, bringing together diverse perspectives allows us to unlock potential for ourselves, our sector and our communities.
Our diverse staff, based across multiple regions worldwide, is what makes this happen every day, everywhere.
We believe in inclusion and diversity because we know people flourish when they feel they belong, when their contributions are valued and when they are treated fairly. Our commitment to our people is to build, nurture and sustain a culture of belonging whereby diversity in all its forms is celebrated as key to our success.
