TPFB News Letter

Launched in December 2025, the Transport Professionals Foundation Bangladesh (TPFB) serves as a unified platform to address the country's "megaproject paradox"—the gap between heavy infrastructure investments and the local expertise required to sustain them. By uniting transport practitioners, academics, and policymakers, TPFB aims to bridge the academia-industry divide, foster advanced research, and reduce dependency on foreign consultants.
