Do you have a bold idea that could revolutionize public transport in Medellín?

We’re looking for solutions that make travel safer and more accessible for people with reduced mobility. 🚌

Your solution should be pilot-ready, and applications must be submitted in Spanish.

Today, we join the global community in honoring the leadership, resilience, and innovation of persons with disabilities everywhere.
This year’s #IDPD2025 theme is “Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress” and it reminds us that inclusion is not just a principle, but a pathway to justice, equity, & lasting change.
@USICD, we are proud to connect advocacy and action across borders, working alongside partners & champions to ensure disability rights remain at the heart of global progress.
