Training Session: Evidence and Technology to Drive Impact
22 May 2026, Friday
9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Auditorium Hall 1

Without evidence, transport investments remain guesswork, risking billions in wasted resources. This session will demonstrate how AI, satellite data, and rigorous impact evaluation methods transform decision-making, and will engage participants in hands-on exercises applying evidence-based approaches to deliver real development impact across urban and rural transport networks.

Focus Session: LEZ Maturity Assessment and Tools for Tackling Transport- Related Air Pollution
22 May 2026, Friday
9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Auditorium Hall 3

Traffic pollution kills millions globally, yet many cities lack the tools to act. This session presents new approaches—including GPS-powered emissions modeling and a Low Emission Zone (LEZ) Maturity Assessment framework—alongside case studies from Seoul and Jakarta on the successes and challenges of LEZ rollout in Southeast Asian cities.

Showcase Session: From Ideas to Impact — Innovations and Private Sector Engagement
22 May 2026, Friday
9:00 a.m. — 10:30 a.m.
Auditorium Hall 4

How can private sector innovation turn transport policy into ground-level impact? This session will showcase solutions from private sector firms and partnerships across ADB developing member countries—from AI-driven mobility analytics and electric ferries to cross-border facilitation—demonstrating replication strategies and enabling conditions that accelerate sustainable, equitable, and resilient transport outcomes across Asia and the Pacific.

Training Session: Translating Poverty and Social Analysis into Transport Project Action
22 May 2026, Friday
11:00 a.m. — 12:30 p.m.
Auditorium Hall 1

Transport investment without intentional poverty reduction becomes a missed opportunity. This session will demonstrate how ADB’s Poverty and Social Analysis transforms project design—from urban public transit to rural roads—unlocking mobility benefits for excluded populations through practical tools, including poverty classification, accessibility analysis, and evidence-based design interventions.

Training Session: Using Transport Data for Better Investment Decisions
22 May 2026, Wednesday
11:00 a.m. — 12:30 p.m.
Auditorium Hall 2

Reliable transport data is essential for better planning and investment decisions. This session will showcase how data platforms and digital tools—including theAsian Transport Observatory (ATO), the Transport Data and Connectivity Initiative (TDCI), the World Bank’s ieCONNECT platform, and emerging digital and analytical tools such as iRAP safety assessments, ADB Green Roads Toolkit, and RIDE programme —are helping governments and partners monitor systems, identify safety risks, prioritize investment, and improve infrastructure performance optimization across the region.

Training Session: Electric Mobility - Transforming Public Transport Management
22 May 2026, Friday
11:00 a.m. — 12:30 p.m.
Auditorium Hall 3

This session will explore how electric mobility can transform public transport through clean technology, improved service delivery, and just transition principles. Featuring ADB developing member countries initiatives and practical case studies on e-bus deployment, participants will gain practical insights into policy design, financing mechanisms including results-based lending, and strategies for scaling up e-mobility solutions at the national level.

Training Session: New Modes of Urban Transport — Ropeways and Innovative Urban Mobility Solutions
22 May 2026, Wednesday
11:00 a.m. — 12:30 p.m.
Auditorium Hall 4

Cities facing geographical constraints and dense development need innovative transport solutions beyond conventional road and rail. This session will explore how urban cable car systems can enhance last-mile connectivity, improve access to underserved neighborhoods, and complement mass transit, drawing on international experiences from Latin America, Europe, South Asia, and ADB projects in Nepal.
