The LUTP program relies on the generous support of its partners to expand its training curriculum and deliver high-quality interactive training workshops. There are three primary models for partnership in the program: financial partners, session hosts, and education partners. These models are complementary, and any one partner can serve multiple roles.
Financial Partners
Financial partners support LUTP by covering the day-to-day operations of the program and by funding the delivery of sessions and the development of new content.
Our financial partners include:
Session Hosts
Partner organizations in this category work with the LUTP team to prepare specific workshops (either digital or in-person). Session hosts are responsible for collaboratively shaping the session agenda—including suggesting topics and areas of the LUTP curriculum to be highlighted, inviting local speakers, and coordinating interviews, presentations, and site visits (live or recorded) with local policymakers and/or transport operators. Partners will support session logistics and advertise session details with their local networks. Some session hosts nominate and financially sponsor select individuals to participate in the session.
Our session hosts include:
Educational Partners
Educational partners work with the LUTP team to develop new content for the curriculum and contribute to the program’s instructor pool. Educational partners draft learning material (such as case studies), support the translation of materials into additional program languages, and teach these materials during program sessions.
Our educational partners include:
