Mobility is at the heart of our cities’ development - ensuring reliable access to healthcare, education, jobs, and opportunities. Enabling a unified and collaborative approach can help bridge the prevalent information asymmetries and enable stakeholders to align their goals, pool resources, and scale inclusive transport solutions effectively.  

SHIFT (Shaping High Impact Information for Transport) Transport initiative is an effort toward creating such a unified approach, with open data as the foundation for innovative, data-driven solutions and the integration of a dynamic, multi-stakeholder forum that facilitates collaboration, standardization, and data-sharing. The central idea is to serve as a common hub for stakeholders to collectively address mobility challenges and drive real-world solutions such as:  

Bridging Data Silos 

SHIFT Transport leverages data insights and metrics to improve data accessibility, support data-driven decision-making and encourage collaboration among stakeholders. The platform aims to generate insights into urban mobility trends across Indian and global cities and encourage peer-to-peer learning.  

Fostering Collaborative Dialogue  

The platform aims to establish effective feedback channels to capture insights from stakeholders at all levels. SHIFT Transport also integrates user-friendly tools like surveys, chat forums, and interactive dashboards to facilitate ongoing dialogue. 

Showcasing Best Practices and Co-creating Solutions 

Highlighting real-world examples where collaborative frameworks have driven innovation, the platform will co-create solutions and showcase accomplishments like city-led electrification programs and public-private partnerships.
