Today marks the first World #PublicTransportDay, celebrating the systems that keep cities moving. For 40 years, ITDP has championed better public transport worldwide, and now is the time to invest in that mission. Public transport connects people, reduces emissions, and eases congestion. When it works, cities thrive; when it doesn’t, roads fill with cars and people are left behind. Cities still need support to build clean, reliable, connected systems—and that’s where ITDP comes in. Working with governments and advocates, ITDP is delivering real results, like in Jakarta, where over 1 million people ride the Transjakarta BRT daily. To keep this progress going, ITDP needs your support! This World Public Transport Day, join us by making a gift at itdp.org/donate/

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

@PopCrave This is why #crookedTrump is literally a 14 year old high schooler, cause that's also when he peaked.

Donald Trump posted a video on Truth Social showing AI-generated imagery of Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today. Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

ITDP and the STA Committee are thrilled to announce #Salvador, Brazil as the winner of the 2026 Sustainable Transport Award! 🏆🎉👏 #STA2026 Salvador expanded and electrified its BRT system with accessible stations, safer streets, and inclusive workforce initiatives, cutting emissions and travel times for millions.
