Founded in 1989
The International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) is a non-profit, professional association of government transportation officials.
Founded in 1989, the IATR is primarily an educational organization that shares information and best practices among a wide variety of government agencies that license, regulate and/or contract with for-hire ground transportation services. These regulated industries include: taxicabs; micro-transit; micro-mobility; buses & motor coaches; black cars & limousines; paratransit & non-emergency medical transport; and Transportation Network Companies (TNCs). IATR members are comprised of subdivisions of international and domestic cities, states & provinces, as well as federal & quasi-governmental entities, such as airports, departments of transportation and motor vehicles, planning agencies, public utilities commissions, and taxi commissions. The IATR’s organizational motto and mission is “Multi-Modal Mobility Innovation For All!”, by furthering the principles of transportation equity (affordability & accessibility), sustainability, health and safety, technology innovation & automation, open public data, and sound multi-modal governance.

IATR’s Guiding
The International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) has endeavored to develop principles that would form a framework for best practices to support mobility policy-making for federal, state/provincial, and local governments to achieve efficient, affordable, sustainable, resilient, and equitable multi-modal passenger transportation, while mitigating negative impacts such as congestion in the post-pandemic world.
This project includes the development of principles and best practices in the United States, Europe, and other relevant jurisdictions. Data-gathering techniques that were used for this project include, but are not limited to, the following: literature review, legislation and regulation review, workshops, focus groups, and interviews. The goal of this project was to develop a “community of practice” – or regulatory “do’s” and “don’ts” – through collaboration by and between regulators, the regulated entities, and other stakeholders. The project culminated in the issuance of “guiding principles” following two IATR workshops and a survey.
