SuM4All wound up its 6th Consortium Meeting in Washington DC on January 16, 2019, amidst much excitement over the Global Roadmap of Action (GRA) toward Sustainable Mobility. For the first time, high-level policy-makers and global thought leaders were invited to engage and share their insights on the proposed roadmap. Inspirational speakers, including Transport Minister Guillermo Dietrich, Mayor Mauricio Rodas, Special Representative of the United Nation's Secretary General Rachel Kyte and World Bank Senior Vice President Mahmoud Mohieldin, challenged SuM4All Members to think "bold and fast."

The GRA effort is backed by over 50 leading organizations in the transport and mobility space, including regional development banks, UN agencies, private companies and civil society. It will lay the pathway for public and private decision-makers to bring the world back on track! The proposed roadmap is available for feedback and ideas until mid-February. This Consortium Meeting kicked off the engagement of SuM4All with country and city decision-makers.
