Ridership Week is a week-long series of events featuring live broadcasts, exclusive interviews, interactive briefings, webinars and workshops.
The transportation industry is in flux. Disrupted by COVID-19, technology, and the energy transition, it is going to change more in the next 5 years than ever before.
Traditional transit is now faced with protecting existing revenue streams and enabling equitable access of people and goods whilst preparing for seismic change. Failure to evolve will prove fatal, and timing is everything.
Ridership Week connects the leading national, state and city officials with the C-Suite in transit and mobility from largest technology, infrastructure, OEM and mobility companies on the planet.
Join us to identify the business models, revenue strategies, infrastructural requirements and public/private partnerships that reduce emissions, finance and enable the safe and equitable movement of people, goods and services.

Reuters Newsmaker: Mobility Boardroom #EUYearofRail
Mobility lies at the epicentre of economies, governance, and the smart cities of the future. Mobility transformation is critical to every city and nation as they grapple with effects of massive health, social and technological challenges.
2021 is the European Year of Rail and in this exclusive interview with Adina Valean, European Commissioner for Transport we will look at the role of rail in reducing emissions, adding to the 9 billion Europeans who travel by rail each year, and its role in strengthening businesses and connecting economies.

30TH MARCH: INTERACTIVE BRIEFING: (3PM GMT)
Ridership Redefined: Infrastructure, Investment and Collaboration
Cities and public transport agencies across the world have had their ridership figures decimated by new working habits, safety procedures, and lockdown measures in response to Covid-19. This has created gaps in service delivery and huge loss of revenue forcing cities and transit authorities to restructure and redesign infrastructure, funding, and service strategy.
In this hour long, interactive webinar we discuss:
