Advocating for Children

Our coalition is committed to promoting safe and sustainable mobility and working together to implement solutions in support of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Providing a voice for children

The provision of safe, accessible, low-carbon transport for low income and vulnerable groups remains vital. Whilst strategic urban planning, resilient infrastructure and integrated transport are becoming recognised, the specific mobility needs and rights of children lack a voice.
