2000 - Initiative began

2000-2001 - Research and stakeholder dialogues carried out.

2001 - 'Mobility 2001' report launched. The report identifies 8 grand challenges, which, if successfully met, could go a very long way in ensuring sustainable mobility.

2002-2004 - Ten work teams have been set up to address sustainability issues created by the dominant role of road vehicles and to develop visions for future global systems of mobility.

The WBCSD provides the process, quality control and outreach competency for the initiative. It offers a credible neutral platform for companies in an industry sector to jointly investigate sustainability challenges. It coordinates the work program, ensuring quality control throughout. Importantly, the WBCSD also markets and disseminates the output of these projects, generating momentum for change in policy and behavior across whole industry sectors.

The initiative is entirely funded by the working group members.
