OMdT is an independent platform dedicated to analysis, cooperation, and innovation in mobility and territorial development.
We work to bring research and public policy closer together to design more integrated, equitable, and sustainable mobility policies.
Our work rests on three complementary functions:
OMdT brings together researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic, committed to transforming mobility systems.
Our founding team combines railway expertise, service design, territorial governance, and public innovation.
Four evenings, two continents, one conviction: the major transformations in mobility are best thought through together. The Cinq à sept Series brings together decision-makers, operators, researchers, and practitioners around the questions reshaping transport systems — with the rigour of the practitioner and the vision of the strategist.

Held
How do we design truly accessible transport systems, from end to end? This first gathering brought French and Québécois approaches to journey design and accessibility engineering into dialogue.

In preparation
Major cities concentrate infrastructure investment yet struggle to offer smooth everyday journeys. Why does urban density not automatically translate into real accessibility? This Cinq à sept puts French and Canadian approaches to integrated planning, data governance, and user experience in high-pressure urban corridors into direct comparison.
In preparation
How are automation and new forms of urban mobility reshaping journeys and usage patterns in major cities? A forward-looking dialogue between infrastructure, operations, and governance stakeholders.
OMdT is organising its first international Learning Expedition — a field immersion designed for decision-makers, planners, and mobility professionals who want to step out of conference rooms and see systems operating for real.
From the Grand Est high-speed corridor to Karlsruhe's unique interoperability model, each stop is chosen for its direct relevance to Canadian challenges: intercity corridors, interchange hubs, rail-air integration, multi-stakeholder governance.
OMdT is an independent platform, and that independence is its primary asset. It ensures the neutrality of our analyses and the credibility of our outputs with decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic. Our partners do not fund a position — they join a community of practitioners and institutions who believe that sustainable mobility is built through dialogue between territories.
