Established in 2003, T²M - The International Association for the History of Transport, Traffic, and Mobility, supports studies of the movement of people, goods, and ideas in all periods and societies in the past.
T2M is an association that gathers academics, scholars, researchers, decision-makers, policy-makers, and citizens to endorse a historically informed understanding of transport, traffic, and mobility, including the interactions between people, goods, ideas, infrastructures and systems, and sociocultural factors (public policy, labour, business, science, technology, tourism, media, arts, sustainability, mobility justice). The association invites participation by anyone sharing an interest in its activities. For more information, please contact the T²M secretary at secretary@t2m.org.
