Sustainable Transport Networks in Latin America
LACIF supported AFD and CAF in this program whose goal was to increase knowledge of urban development and transport in the region, by identifying new sources of financing for public transport projects (public-private partnerships, land valuation, etc.); identifying the regulatory obstacles to innovative transport projects and the way to surmount them; highlighting the potential of local communities to carry out this type of projects; and making it possible to define the technical and financial contours of specific projects in targeted cities (master plans and prefeasibility studies), thus promoting the emergence and implementation of public transport projects in the region.
- Sixteen transport studies were finalized with LACIF funding: 10 studies are integrated mobility strategies and plans or prefeasibility studies for certain cities in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Peru; the other 6 are related to general issues regarding innovative urban transport with a regional scope.
