We will also be thoughtful about how to engage the public to imagine cities where shared and active modes dominate, and not personal cars. Detailed information on NUMO is available in its website www.numo.global.
What: At its core, NUMO is an alliance organization. The alliance is a big tent from the start, taking a movement strategy approach, called for by the fact that 140+ stakeholders from multiple sectors are already supporters of the Shared Mobility Principles. Our allies - cities and their advisors, private companies, and the public - enable us to amplify and expand current best practices, create synergies among stakeholders, and fill research, pilot, communications and advocacy gaps.
