World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transportation (EMBARQ)
Organization Description
Established in May 2002, with the support of the Shell Foundation, The World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transportation (EMBARQ) - acts as a catalyst for socially, financially, and environmentally-sound solutions to the problems of urban mobility. Working with politically and financially empowered authorities at local and global levels, EMBARQ can dramatically reduce the risk, time, and complexity required to diagnose key transport problems, and design and implement sustainable, "best practice" solutions. Through the formation of public-private partnerships, EMBARQ has turned the attention of the private sector towards the needs of cities, their citizens, and their environment. EMBARQ has also proven that the design and implementation of sustainable urban transport models in the developing world can translate into economic opportunities for the forward-thinking business.
