The event was a great opportunity for ITF and its partner international organisations to engage in an open dialogue about the main themes of the upcoming ITF Summits, and ITF’s priority topics. The International Transport Forum is an intergovernmental organisation which works for transport policies that improve peoples’ lives, with the aim to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion.
