TDM Delegation to the Netherlands: Gathering Sustainable Mobility Best Practices from a Global Leader
Locations Throughout the Netherlands
Event Details
ACT is pleased to announce an exciting member opportunity to join a delegation of TDM professionals to the Netherlands from October 19–23, 2026. Over five days, delegates will immerse themselves into Dutch mobility - touring landmark infrastructure, meeting planners and advocates, and experiencing firsthand what a mobility culture looks like when sustainable mobility options are the default, not the exception.
Why Attend?
The Netherlands has spent decades building a mobility culture that the rest of the world studies and this delegation puts you inside it. Delegates will connect directly with the policy makers, planners, employers, cycling advocates, transit authorities, property owners and urban designers who have made the Dutch approach to TDM a global benchmark.
Whether you work in employer mobility, transit planning, event transportation, or urban TDM policy, you'll return with ideas, contacts, and frameworks you can apply immediately.
Participants will explore strategies and practices including:
- Employer engagement and corporate sustainable mobility
- Cycling infrastructure and behavior change initiatives
- Transit-oriented development and regional transit planning
- Car-lite urban street design and neighborhood transformation
- Event-scale TDM for major venues and city-wide gatherings
- National TDM and policy
Attendees will be encouraged to share key takeaways with the broader ACT membership following the trip, including contributions to ACT programming, publications, and chapter events.

(Subject to change as details become finalized)
Monday, October 19 — Welcome to the Netherlands
Location: Utrecht
After a welcome lunch and introductions, delegates meet with a leading organization coordinating corporate engagement on sustainable mobility in the Netherlands, followed by a site visit to a major employer to see how those commitments translate into programs, infrastructure, and culture on the ground. An evening reception will connect delegates with local stakeholders and TDM professionals.
Tuesday, October 20 — Cycling, Behavior Change, and Integrated Mobility
Location: Utrecht
A deep dive into one of the world's most celebrated cycling cities. Delegates will meet with the Dutch Cycling Embassy for briefings on behavior change, employer engagement, incentive structures, and intermodal travel, and sit down with Dutch National Railways to explore how the country's rail network is actively partnering with employers to shift commuter behavior at scale. The day is complemented by a guided cycling tour through the city's commuter network and public transport connections — putting the lessons of the morning directly underfoot.
Wednesday, October 21 — People Over Cars
Location: Delft
The group will travel by train to Delft, a city that has systematically rebuilt itself around people rather than vehicles. Delegates will visit a landmark transit-oriented development, hear from city planners on decades of car network transformation, and take to the streets — on foot and by bike — to experience the results firsthand, including the birthplace of the global shared street movement.
Thursday, October 22 — Transit, Streets, and the Employer District
Location: Amsterdam
Amsterdam's day spans three interlocking themes: regional transit planning and MaaS integration, inner-city street transformation and the city's formal car-reduction strategy, and transit oriented development within one of Europe's most dynamic business corridors. The day closes with an evening gathering bringing together voices from urban research, cycling advocacy, and metropolitan planning.
Friday, October 23 — TDM and Major Events
Location: Amsterdam
The week closes with event-scale TDM. Delegates will tour the Amsterdam Arena district — home to multiple major venues capable of drawing up to 80,000 attendees — and meet on-site with representatives from additional major events including an internationally renowned motorsport circuit and SAIL Amsterdam, one of the world's largest free public festivals.
