Diversity and Inclusion: an event for all
UITP is dedicated to making public transport inclusive for everyone, with a focus on gender equality and ensuring people of all abilities are welcome. Explore the steps we’ve taken to create a truly inclusive event for all and how you can participate.
UITP Diverse Panel Charter
We are dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion at our Summit, ensuring that every voice is heard.
With a gender-balanced lineup, we are proud to feature international speakers from over 110 countries.
Over 40% of our congress speakers are women, demonstrating our commitment to promoting gender equality in public transport.
Since launching our Diverse Panel Charter in 2021, we doubled the presence of women speakers, and securing strong female representation on our boards.
As a direct result of the policy, we have achieved outstanding results:
More than 40% of our congress speakers are female
The percentage of women in our database is rising
Significantly increased the percentage of women on our Boards (e.g. Executive Board from 0% to 32%)
UITP is part of the TRIPS project
UITP recently signed the ‘Lecco Declaration on Accessible and Inclusive Transport’ as part of the TRIPS Project.
This project aims to make public transportation more inclusive for people with disabilities, the elderly, and all passengers, leveraging advancements in universal design and assistive technologies.
