The ACCESS Consortium
International and regional partners working together to advance sustainable, inclusive, and low-carbon urban mobility across Latin America and the Caribbean.
ACCESS is delivered by a consortium of international and regional organisations with complementary expertise in sustainable mobility, digitalisation, urban planning, climate action, and capacity building. Together, the partners support countries and cities in designing, implementing, and scaling digital solutions for low-carbon urban mobility, while ensuring that interventions are inclusive, evidence-based, and aligned with national and local priorities.
By combining global knowledge with local implementation capacity, the consortium connects on-the-ground action with regional learning and international best practice to help drive long-term transformation in urban transport systems.
