Global Urban Mobility Challenge | Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI)

TUMI's Mobility Actions around the World

TUMI Challenges

Cities in developing countries and emerging economies face bigger challenges than ever before. Innovation is no longer optional; it is necessary so cities can continue to deliver results and improve life of their residents.

200k TUMI Challenges

With the Global Urban Mobility Challenge we support cities with up to EUR 200k for your pilot project to start a mobility transformation in your city. The 2019 TUMI Global Urban Mobility Challenge, sponsored by BMZ is an initiative to support local leaders in their mobility transformation efforts.

Covid Challenges

Through the TUMI COVID Challenges, cities will receive the urgent support they require. With cycling as a mode of transport having proven particular resilience throughout challenging times, many of the TUMI COVID Challenges focus on promoting and improving the urban cycling networks. This way, the TUMI COVID Challenges do not only ensure resilient urban mobility systems, they also accelerate the sustainable mobility transformation!
