closed

The objective of the Urban Transport Transformation Project is to contribute to the transformation of urban transport in Mexican cities toward a lower carbon growth path. There are three components to the project, the first component being capacity building. Provision of technical assistance and training to the eligible beneficiaries for the development and strengthening of the local urban transport development process in the participating entities, including, inter alia: preparation, update or completion of Integral Transport Plans (ITP), which will include climate change mitigation considerations; and development of plans for modernizing traffic management and for efficient allocation of public space for transport and non-motorized modes. The second component is the development of integrated transit systems that reduce CO2 emissions. Development of integrated transit systems that contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions in the Borrower's cities within the context of the National Climate Change Strategy (ENAC) and the Special Program for Climate Change (PECC), by approximately 1.96 million tons per year beginning in 2017, through the carrying out of the following Bank-financed activities: mass transit corridors and ancillary Investments; and low carbon bus technologies and scrapping of displaced buses. Finally, the third component is the project management.
