BetterPoints a finalist in Toyota Mobility Foundation's $3m Venice Sustainable Cities Challenge

BetterPoints has been selected as one of five finalists in the Sustainable Cities Challenge. These finalists were chosen by a panel of expert judges following a rigorous evaluation of solutions aimed at increasing the use of existing low- and zero-carbon transport modes in the city of Venice. Judges selected solutions that inspire behaviour change towards sustainable transport, based on the following criteria: innovation, impact, usability, viability, and team capacity.

Developed in collaboration with the City of Venice, Challenge Works, and World Resources Institute, the two-stage, three-year $9 million global TMF Sustainable Cities Challenge received over 120 entries from across the world to encourage Venetians to use active mobility, public transport, and shared mobility across Venice’s mainland.

The teams will now receive $130k implementation funding to proceed with them in the Finalist stage, where they will further develop and test their solutions within the city. Their efforts will contribute to a broader vision of cleaner, smarter urban transport systems that can be replicated globally. Find out more here.
