The project development objective is to contribute to the establishment of policies that will assist towards a long-term modal shift in a climate-friendly, more efficient and less polluting, less carbon intensive transport for the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). To this end, the components include: 1) rationalization of sector strategies on air quality issues, through the revision of plans, and through workshops on integrated environment and transport issues. This component will support the design, development, and monitoring of the Metropolitan Climate Change Action Plan for Transport in the MCMA; 2) definition of an enabling environment, to facilitate the implementation of sustainable transport strategies, through a revision of institutional frameworks, that includes integration of metro and bus transport, reform of bus regulations, particularly regarding quality control of the corridors system, business and management structure on corridor operations, and measures to promote increased numbers of metro customers; 3) field tests of climate-friendly high capacity vehicles, through comparative tests for alternative bus/fuel technologies; 4) technical assistance, and training to integrate climate change, and air quality considerations in the design, and analysis of transport strategies, supported by cost-benefit analysis of sustainable transport projects, with environmental considerations; 5) public awareness and information dissemination, to sensitize communities on the benefits of new transportation modes, in addition to workshops to increase stakeholder participation.
