The UITP Regional Office is located in Hong Kong, with a Centre for Transport Excellence in Singapore.

The Working Bodies of UITP Asia-Pacific include the UITP Asia-Pacific Urban Rail Platform, the UITP Asia-Pacific Organising Authorities Platform and the UITP Asia-Pacific Bus Platform.

The Asia-Pacific Centre for Transport Excellence was set up in 2012 in a joint effort between the Land Transport Authority of Singapore (LTA) and UITP.

Its mission is to foster sustainable mobility systems, which meet Asia-Pacific needs, and improve the overall quality of life in the region.

Concretely, this Centre for Transport Excellence aims to:

• Create knowledge through bespoke research projects that explore the latest trends in sustainable urban mobility.
• Share best practices and build capacity with training programmes.
• Promote excellence in the sector and foster business partnerships with leading transport events such as the biennial Singapore International Transport Congress and Exhibition (SITCE).
