Inclusive Mobility

As highlighted in the Hamburg Charter, TUMI promotes inclusive mobility by ensuring underrepresented voices—women, the elderly, children, and people with disabilities—are included in decision-making through participatory processes. If we truly want to create a future that is sustainable, is important to address gender disparities in the transport sector, encourage women's participation in leadership, and aim to eliminate violence and harassment, and support care work to enhance women's social and economic roles.

Intro

Inclusion, universal access, and empathy are key to building mobility systems that serve all members of society. It is vital to prioritize the needs of underrepresented groups—such as women, the elderly, children, and people with disabilities—through participatory decision-making in planning and delivering mobility infrastructure.​

Ensuring accessibility and universal design is essential for creating inclusive systems. Persons with disabilities are often overlooked, yet their needs should be central. Accessible public spaces and transportation options make mobility usable for everyone, regardless of ability. Empathetic, inclusive design fosters independence for persons with disabilities and benefits all, including caregivers, the elderly, and children.

Disability And Inclusion In Today’s Mobility World

TUMI and the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) are working together to improve mobility access for people with disabilities, focusing on regions like Latin America, Africa, and Asia. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the challenges people with disabilities face and provide practical guidance for more inclusive transport systems. Part of this collaborations is forming an advisory board of experts, creating a white paper and policy brief, and developing materials to create awareness on inclusive practices.
