| Description |
The proposed project is aimed at reducing greenhouse gases from ground transport in Bogota and other Colombian cities, through the promotion of long-term modal shift to more efficient and less polluting forms of transport. Resources will be used for studies and pilot interventions to: (i) Ensure an accelerated modal shift away from personal motorized vehicles to bus transport, (ii) Promote a rationalized and efficient system to move freight into and through the major urban centers participating at the project, (iii) increase the use of non-motorized transport modes such as bicycles and walking, (iv) reduce private car use through transport demand management measures, (v) reduce travel length through a coordinated land-use and transport planning; (vi) promote cleaner fuels, and operation and maintenance practices; and (vii) enhance the analytical tools available at the institutional level. |
