Why Networking in Latin America and the Caribbean?
- Sustainable transport community in LAC remains small
- The regional networks are closer to the needs in their areas
- The cultural diversity is less significant, so it is easier for:
Sharing information Accomplishing tasks of common interest Coordinating and facilitating regional research efforts Coordinating advocacy and lobbying at the regional and international level Promoting best practices (& informing bad experiences) www.sustranlac.org
