In May 2018 TUMI organized the first all-female conference “WomenMobilizeWomen” (WMW). In 2019 TUMI published the first “Remarkable Women in Transport” publication. Laura Ballesteros, former Undersecretary of Mobility in Mexico City, was part of both milestones. Today we have the chance to speak with her about empowering women in mobility and the work she and her colleagues do at Mujeres en Movimiento, the Latin American Chapter of WMW.

Many transport operators witness sharp drops in demand, with negative financial impact. Governments need to bailout public transport operators and create innovative solutions to guarantee mobility during the time of crisis. One low-cost option is to support cycling and walking. We are happy to speak to Emmanuel John, a dedicated road safety and transport expert about the initiatives taken in Nigeria. In our second episode Emmanuel advocates for the bicycle to be part of the solution in cities.

The coronavirus crisis is shaking the whole world, with devastating consequences around the globe. In this tremendously difficult situation, we are also facing another crisis: a shock to our economy tougher than the 2008 crisis. This shock calls for a strong coordinated economic response. Sustainable Mobility will be a key driver of a solid and Green Recovery.
