The Regional Cities Urban Transport Project supports the Government's efforts in promoting urban transport and institutional development in regional cities. Moreover, the project seeks to help implement a high priority program of infrastructure improvement measures aimed at relieving traffic congestion and promoting transport efficiency in Indonesia's four largest cities outside Jakarta. The principal project objectives are to: (a) strengthen city government capabilities in the planning, implementation, and maintenance of traffic and transport facilities and services; (b) strengthen Central Government capabilities in the preparation and implementation of national policies and technical standards for the urban transport sector; and (c) establish a process of coordinating the investment activities of central, provincial, and city government agencies in urban transport infrastructure. To achieve these goals, the project includes financing for: (a) major road construction; (b) comprehensive corridor improvements; (c) city-wide traffic engineering works; (d) road rehabilitation and maintenance; and (e) technical assistance and training. As a result of this project, transport and traffic conditions will be improved in the four largest secondary cities of Indonesia.
