The Open Transport Partnership (OTP) focuses on enhancing urban mobility through public-private collaborations and data management, addressing the needs of rapidly growing urban populations. OTP's initiatives include facilitating PPPs, developing traffic data tools, and creating standardized datasets for transit systems. The partnership aims to leverage private-sector innovations to improve urban transport efficiency, equity, and effectiveness.

Facilitating public-private collaboration for more
efficient, effective, and equitable urban mobility

CITIES MANAGE AND PLAN URBAN TRANSPORT
SYSTEMS
(A LOT)

4. THE NEW PPP
Digital communication and location technologies are transforming
how we move, and the way we use and manage our transport
system.
As part of this shift private-sector innovators play an increasing
role in collecting and managing data critical to ensuing efficient,
effective, and equitable urban mobility.
OTP is developing the next generation of public-private
partnerships, policies and tools for facilitating responsible use of
private sector data for the public good.

70% of all trips made on public transit
SUPPOSE
AND YOU WANT TO
Take a bus somewhere
or
Identify a suitable location for a
new transit route or station

22. YOU’LL NEED A MAP!

23. More than 75% of the
world’s largest low income
cities do not have complete
maps of their transit
networks

24. WHAT IS GTFS?
Standardized tabular format for
transit system data:
Routes
Stops
Operating Schedules
Fares

25. WHY DO WEGTFS?
Growing # of developers are creating
innovative solutions to transit challenges,
leveraging this standard.
In theory, an investment in an application
in one city can be adopted in any other
city that has adopted the same standards.

26. WHY DO WEGTFS?
