Mobility of all, for all,

and by all

Government, private sector, and citizens have role to play in promoting a more inclusive transport and mobility for Metro Manila. The multi-sectoral engagement have been proven effective and sustainable. This is true in IM supported activities like the Carless Sundays in Pasig. There are also effective and innovative mobility solutions as demonstrated by our contestants in the Inclusive Mobility Challenge in 2012.
