Multimodality is key

How public transport & walking go together

Most public transport journeys start and end with a walk. In fact, walking can constitute half the time spent on multimodal trips and can be the main element of what people remember afterwards.

The integration of walking and public transport is a key strategy for reducing the use of private cars, reducing carbon emissions, and improving the fiscal viability of public transport services while enhancing urban efficiency and livability.

Alongside other organisations, UITP partnered with Walk21 to inform a landmark publication on the integration of walking and public transport.

Why should we focus on integration? What is the evidence and what does integration look like? Find the answers in this insightful Policy Brief.
