Supporting sustainable urban mobility in Curitiba

ongoing

In order to ensure that mobility remains accessible to all, AFD is supporting the extension of the public transport network through the creation of a sixth bus rapid transit (BRT) line running on biofuel: Linha Verde.It will be surrounded by green areas and bike paths. In addition, an extensive travel survey of residents and the modeling of their needs will make it possible to plan future services in order to adapt it to the city’s growth.The project also comprises the recovery of the borders and the natural spaces along the River Barigui. The making of parks, preserving local flora and fighting against erosion and water pollution, will allow a long ecological corridor to be created across the city. The programme also includes awareness-raising and capacity-building actions for the protection of the environnement, as well as the preservation of biodiversity in urban areas.
