[External Opportunity: Event] Transforming Transportation 2026 in Washington DC
Transport plays a foundational role in delivering essential public goods. Effective transport systems underpin vibrant economies by connecting markets, getting people to jobs and increasing productivity. Beyond economic benefits, modern transport systems also advance safety and environmental goals.
Digital tools like ride-sharing apps, smart traffic systems and electric vehicle networks are making transport faster, cheaper and cleaner, while expanding access. As countries invest in modern transport systems, businesses can reach customers, workers can access jobs and goods can move efficiently, creating the foundation for economic growth and private sector investment.
As the world navigates a complex landscape shaped by economic shifts, external shocks and the rise of AI, Transforming Transportation 2026 will emphasize the pivotal role of transport in catalyzing development that creates jobs, builds resilience and reaches everyone.

It will be a dynamic hybrid experience, combining in-person networking and high-level sessions with virtual participation to include our signature global community.
