Cities across the world are investing in new and improved transport systems to meet the growing challenges of urban life. While these investments have the potential to benefit the poorest urban residents and enhance overall transport efficiency, managing the planning, construction, and ongoing operations of these systems poses significant challenges. The need for effective institutions of urban mobility governance becomes crucial to coordinate and integrate various components of these growing transport networks. The article discusses the potential of metropolitan transport agencies as a model to address these challenges by combining the planning, regulation, implementation, and enforcement powers necessary for effective urban transport governance.
