Adapting public transport to climate change: the key for resilient cities
How do we ensure resilient urban mobility in the face of climate disruptions? Discover the seven steps to adapt to climate change.
Resilience
Climate change, disasters, and other events can disrupt mobility. But public transport must keep people moving during a crisis and facilitate recovery. UITP unites the sector to adapt and bolster resilience.

In a fast-changing world, what technologies can make public transport more resilient?
Resilience & UITP
Whether it is an extreme weather event, pandemic, disaster, or conflict, it can feel like the next crisis is never far away. Indeed, to ensure a resilient network, we must anticipate and plan for crises.
Resilience reduces the impact of a crisis and speeds up recovery when things do go wrong. Achieving this takes preparedness, training, and proven strategies.
To bolster resilience, UITP leads research on effective policies and provides a key platform for the sector to share knowledge.
Because when we work together, we can learn from each other to safeguard passengers, our workforce, and ensure that public transport is able to serve the public – no matter the situation.
