Climate-friendly urban mobility III

active

In 2001, around 370 million people lived in Indian cities; by 2030, this number will rise to 600 million. Most Indian cities are already massively overwhelmed by this population growth. Traffic is chaotic. Air pollution and CO2 emissions are increasing dramatically. The aim of the project is therefore to increase and sustain the use of an inclusive, climate-friendly and energy-efficient public transport system in the selected program locations. The FC program thus contributes to reducing the negative climate and environmental impacts of urban traffic. The FC program supports selected states and cities in developing energy-efficient and sustainable mobility solutions. When selecting the program components, the focus is on maximum impact, feasibility and the integration of different modes of transport (rail, bus, motorized and non-motorized private transport). FC investments are made in the following transport systems, among others: bus rapid transit systems, light rail train / metro, energy-efficient buses (including natural gas, electric and hybrid technologies), ferries, cycle and pedestrian paths, park & ride facilities, intelligent traffic control systems and integrated ticketing. The investments can be accompanied by accompanying measures to strengthen the sponsoring bodies. The project sponsors are public companies in the federal states in which the respective program component is implemented. The target group of the project will be all users of local public transport. The project fits into the BMZ's sector priority strategy for the environmental sector and responds to strong demand on the Indian side. It follows on from the previous projects Climate-Friendly Urban Mobility I and II. The Surat Metro component is financed within this FC program.
