More About Our Mission

At Trufi Association, our mission is to advance sustainable community mobility that is accessible and convenient for everyone. We achieve this through a multifaceted approach that includes the development of free open-source trip planning software tailored for emerging big cities and the megacities of tomorrow. Our localized intermodal journey planner integrates official public transport, semi-formal mini-bus routes, taxis, and other transport modes, ensuring comprehensive coverage for users. Our open-source app is designed for maximum accessibility, supporting any language, including local dialects, and is compatible with both iOS and Android platforms. This accessibility enables anyone to utilize our services for free, empowering them to find the best transport options quickly and efficiently.

We train and collaborate closely with OpenStreetMap communities to digitize transport data, leveraging crowdsourced information to provide valuable insights into transportation patterns and requirements. This collaborative effort democratizes the development of transport data, ensuring that our services are informed by the ground truth and tailored to the needs of diverse communities.

Additionally, we are dedicated to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). By working with city governments and transport planners, we help them understand and cater to journey patterns, thereby facilitating better transport links and contributing to the advancement of sustainable urban development.

Our commitment extends beyond software development; we actively engage with like-minded organizations, public and private partners, governmental institutions, researchers, and transport innovators. By fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing, we aim to catalyze the transformation of transportation systems into more equitable and sustainable networks. Through our collective efforts, we seek to enhance the justice and vitality of transport ecosystems worldwide.

At Trufi Association, our dedication lies in contributing to a better, more accessible, and sustainable world for all. We recognize that the journey towards equitable and sustainable mobility requires continuous effort and collaboration.
