Structural CausesObsolete rolling-stock

Negative impacts on transit users


• Institutional support, training and assistance in traffic and transit planning, management and control. • Establishment of a more adequate regulatory framework – Ley 310 de 1996, operation permits grantedthrough competitive tenders, etc.

• Introduction of policies to use road and public space efficiently.

Intermediate-sized cities: Population between between

300.000 and 600.000

Large Cities: Population over

600.000• Traffic management• Transit reorganization• Development of strategic transport systems

• Delivery of Bus Rapid TransitSystems (BRTS)

A Federal Transit Policy aimed at improving the mobility of users between differentorigins and destinations, with specific targets according to the city’s size:

THE SOLUTION

through

• High capacity buses. Trunk, auxiliary and feeder services

• Dedicated infrastructure (segregated, exclusive use lanes, bus stops and stations)

• Federal Government monitoring and Coordination BRTS Unit set-up within the Ministryof Transport.

• Loan agreements have been signed with Multilateral banks and significant support has been received from them.

• Participation of Federal Government has been authorized by the CONPES and Co-financing agreements have been signed for all BRTS

• All eligible cities for BRTS have started construction work.

• BRTS for Pereira and Dosquebradas (MEGABUS) commissioned in august 2006.



1. Utility networks: • Lack of detailed inventory• Utilities cannot presently afford expansion or renewal, and charging them forsuch interventions has been difficult.

• Delays in approval of infrastructure designs by utilities.

2. Designs and tender processes:

• Infrastructure designs have required extensive adjustments to comply withoperational requirements.

• Lack of participation and ownership of local authorities during design phase. • Learning and compliance of Multilateral Banks’ procurment norms andsafeguards.

3. Funding forindivicual projects.

• Signing of co-financing agreements with local authorities and delivery agencies. • Compliance of Banks’ procurment norms and safeguards was a condition fordisbursement of credit monies.

4. Operation • Preparation of tender documents• Project socialization to potential bidders.
