Youth For Public Transport (Y4PT)

Youth For Public Transport (Y4PT) - www.y4pt.org - is a Belgium-based international youth-led pro-sustainable-mobility non-profit non-governmental organization (iNGO) created by International Association of Public Transport (UITP) - www.uitp.org - acting as its "Parent Organization" and sustained by Ferrovie Nord Milano (FNM) S.p.A. - www.fnmgroup.it - acting as its "Honorary Founding Member".

Y4PT encourages the active participation of young people to advocate sustainable mobility by promoting the integrated use of public transport along with other means and modes of transport, in order to seek a greater welfare and a better quality of life for all people throughout the world, especially young people.

Y4PT advocates and communicates on sustainable mobility from a youth approach. Furthermore Y4PT fosters employment, education and participation opportunities for young people in the transport-related mobility sector worldwide.

Y4PT was thought up and is supported by UITP and is sponsored by its members and other stakeholders around the world.

The principles of the ERSCharter

We will subscribe to the following ERSCharter principles:

We acknowledge the importance of developing a positive road safety culture in the European Union as we aim to halve road casualties and progress towards our 'vision zero' for road safety.
We recognise the importance of taking part in a European initiative that gathers participants from all Member States and includes organisations of all types* and sizes, with or without previous experience in road safety.
We believe that our organisation needs to take or support action for road safety, in our field of expertise.
We voluntarily choose the action that best suits our needs, capacities and skills.
We support the exchange of information and experience between ERSCharter members in order to facilitate a better understanding of road safety.
We believe in communicating openly, honestly and accurately with one another.
We honour the rights, beliefs and cultures of every member and individual and will treat one another with the highest degree of respect and dignity.
We will enjoy the same rights as all other members to access and disseminate information, participate in the ERSCharter activities and use the ERSCharter visual identity.
We understand that the ERSCharter must adhere to strict ethical rules in order to avoid any abuse of membership privileges.
