WHY IT MATTERS
The need for sustainable transport is greater than ever
In many parts of the world, the cost of motorized transport is rising, pollution levels are skyrocketing, and access to reliable transportation is a barrier to economic growth and personal freedom.
By empowering communities to take control of their transportation needs, A Movement offers a path to:

SUSTAINABILITY:
Reducing emissions and dependence on fossil fuels.

COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT:
Fostering local innovation, ownership, and economic opportunities.

- INNOVATING LOCALLY -
IMPACTING GLOBALLY
Local solutions for global challenges.
Rather than rely on top-down solutions, we believe in the power of grassroots innovation. By empowering local communities to design and build their own human-powered transport systems, we foster solutions that are contextual, affordable, and sustainable.

GLOBAL COLLABORATION:
While local ownership is key, collaboration is essential. Communities share ideas, resources, and successes with others around the world.

We want to build a community that is built on the principles of open-source innovation, meaning that designs and learnings are freely shared across borders.

At the core of A Movement is our decentralized structure. We do not intend to operate with a traditional, centralized hierarchy. Instead, we shall embrace a community-driven, horizontal approach that gives autonomy to every participant.

No Central Governing Body:
We shall operate as a global collective of makers, engineers, designers and changemakers.

Local Ownership:
Every project, whether it’s a cargo bike in Brazil or a solar-powered rickshaw in India, is owned and led by the local community.
