The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP)

The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (or ITDP for short) was founded in 1985 by sustainable transport advocates in the United States. There are headquarters for ITDP in different locations. The first one is in New York, NY. The second one is in Wohlfort, Germany. The purpose of ITDP is to promote environmentally sustainable transportation and projects worldwide. It provides assistance to several countries around the world such as India, the USA, Africa, Mexico, and Brazil.

ITDP has been working in Africa for over ten years. It mostly focuses on countries such as Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, and Tanzania. In 2002, ITDP started the Access Africa Program where they supply bicycles to people in need. They supply the bicycles to help the people to have access to employment, education, and healthcare, while having sustainable transportation and improving their quality of life.

ITDP also helps with healthcare. They supply ambulances to people that need to get to hospitals. They also provide the healthcare workers with bicycles so that they can get to their jobs and deliver help and care.
