We have approved a new loan to help build a new 127-km railway line in Türkiye.

The line will strengthen Türkiye's role as a vital hub linking Europe and Asia through more competitive, reliable, and cost-effective infrastructure: https://t.co/1SyaVoQmUs

A child's body withstands far less crash force than an adult. @aprsoweb's next session shows how protecting children and vulnerable persons can also bring child development, health, air quality, and economic co-benefits.

[Asian Development Bank @ADB_HQ]

We keep asking whether drivers break the speed limit. But the better question: are the limits themselves safe?

Many were set decades ago, for smaller cities and slower cars. New data tools can now flag where limits are out of step with how roads are actually used: https://t.co/qzCRfeCIOu

Women rely on roads daily for work and care, but their needs rarely shape how those roads are designed or maintained. How can that change?

🚀 The AI for Safer Roads Challenge is now LIVE.

The AI for Safer Roads Innovation Challenge is a global call for data scientists and AI specialists to develop tools that identify where speed limits are putting lives at risk. The initiative led by @ADB_HQ in collaboration with the World Bank Development Impact Group, @AIforGood and @ITU, with the support of the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific and the High-Level Technology Fund.

We are calling on innovators to develop AI-driven solutions that can help identify safer speed limits using real-world data.

🔎 Work with GPS probe data, road networks, and street imagery
🏆 Compete for recognition and impact
🌏 Help save lives across Asia and the Pacific

The Asia and the Pacific Transport Forum 2026 starts today in Manila. Four days of practical dialogue on how transport priorities turn into real investment, real projects, and real results on the ground.

[ADB Transport @adbtransport]

Every year, hundreds of thousands of lives are lost on roads across the region. Speed is a leading factor. What if #AI could help redesign safer roads and smarter speed systems?

👀 Something new is on the way. Stay tuned.

Something exciting is coming. Road safety. AI. Asia and the Pacific.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of lives are lost on roads across Asia and the Pacific. Speed is a leading factor.

What if AI & GIS could help us redesign safer roads and smarter speed systems?

Stay tuned.

Setting transport priorities is one thing. Translating them into projects that get financed, built, and sustained is another.

That gap is what #APTF2026 is built around, under the theme, #FromPrioritiestoAction. Four days of conversations about the financing, institutional capacity, project preparation, and partnerships that turn ambition into delivery.

Last day to register today (11 May) at https://t.co/rUNvYD5eaz.

Japan is pairing carbon pricing and operator awareness with the Autoflow Road, where unmanned shuttles move cargo. Can both help to decarbonize #freight? And what can the region learn?

New research found that non-exhaust emissions—particles from brakes, tires, and pavement—now make up 38% of PM2.5 from road transport.

Cars aren't the only source of air pollution. The road itself is a growing threat to clean air across Asia and the Pacific.

Here’s why moving beyond vehicle emissions means transforming the entire transport system: https://t.co/V8v5ejrotl

[ADB Transport @adbtransport]

Every country in Asia and the Pacific has transport ambitions. A tougher question cuts across borders: how do you get projects financed, built, and sustained at scale?

#APTF2026 is where practitioners and officials meet to take that question on, together. Four days of sessions built around what it takes to deliver.

The new boat harbor in Nui Island, Tuvalu has made sea passages safer and faster, while creating economic opportunities.

This partnership between ADB, Australia, and Tuvalu showcases a commitment to quality infrastructure that reflects value for money and local participation.

Safe System principles are not new. Getting them into real road projects, consistently and at scale, is where progress stalls. The final @aprsoweb x Vision Zero Academy masterclass tackles exactly that: how jurisdictions close the gap between principle and practice.
