ITDP México

What ITDP México does

ITDP México (Instituto de Políticas para el Transporte y el Desarrollo) is a non-profit civil association (A.C.) operating as the Mexico office of the global Institute for Transportation and Development Policy network, with a parallel civil society entity (ITDP, S.C.). Registered in Ciudad de México, the organization has been active in Mexico for over fifteen years, engaging municipal, state, and federal government agencies, civil society organizations, academic institutions, and international development partners to advance sustainable urban mobility, road safety, active mobility, public transit improvement, demand management, and transit-oriented development. Its business model is non-commercial: revenue is generated through project grants from funders including the Inter-American Development Bank (BID), BID Lab, the World Bank, FIA Foundation, and WIEGO, and all deliverables — publications, tools, technical assistance — are provided free of charge as public goods.

The organization's product surface includes a portfolio of branded programs and digital platforms: IDEAMOS (mobility diagnostics), Ciclociudades and Monitor Ciclociudades (cycling strategy and policy monitoring across 11 evaluation axes and 47 indicators), Más Ciclistas (cycling toolkit adapted from ITDP Global), Mejores Calles MX (complete streets program), and Invertir para Movernos (IPM). Its underlying technology centers on a proprietary, auditable GPS-based mobility methodology that compiles and processes over 8 TB of mobile-application GPS metadata per month to produce origin-destination analyses and city-level mobility estimates, alongside GTFS data processing and publication support that has helped digitize transport networks in 20 Mexican cities. Notable recent deliverables include technical support for Monterrey's Regio Ruta GTFS publication (ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup), the GPS methodology release, the Estación Central Buenavista multimodal hub proposal developed with CoRe Ciudades Vivibles y Amables, and ongoing technical assistance to CDMX's Integral Road Safety Program (PISVI) and Nuevo León's Sustainable Mobility and Accessibility Law.

The organization operates from a headquarters in the Hipódromo Condesa neighborhood of Ciudad de México and reaches its audiences through a website, email newsletter, social media channels, technical events, webinars, and dissemination partnerships with international development institutions. It is governed by an Advisory Council (Consejo Consultivo) composed of senior figures from academia, philanthropy, and civil society, including Blanca del Valle Perochena (Presidenta, Fondo Kaluz), Isabel Studer Noguez, Zara Snapp, Enrique Soto Alva, Iván Carrillo, José Antonio Torre Medina-Mora, and Adrián Fernández Bremauntz. Executive leadership is provided by Director Ejecutivo Gonzalo Peón, with regional coordination by Bernardo Baranda (Director Regional para Latinoamérica) and functional direction across mobility (César Hernández), research and urban development (Santiago Fernández Reyes), data science (Daniel Bustillos), public policy (Valentine Delleur), communications (Ingrid Chávez), and administration (Angélica Mora).
