Through this project, the government of Mexico seeks to improve its urban transport sector in services, efficiency, costs, infrastructure and institutional capability. To that end, the project specifically involves (a) corridor improvements, (b) public transport, and (c) road maintenance. It further entails (d) traffic system management to improve traffic flow and safety. The proposed project would demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of an integrated transport management approach, emphasizing increased efficiency in the utilization of existing infrastructure as well as minor infrastructure investments, in two major urban areas of Mexico. At the same time, the project would strengthen the institutional framework at the federal, as well as local, level to prepare and coordinate a similar approach to transport problems in other urban areas in Mexico.
