Project summary

This project provided technical assistance to support ongoing World Bank and Kazakh efforts to design, plan, and implement an e-tolling strategy. More specifically, it supported a financial and environmental cost-benefit analysis of e-tolling technical and tariff options, as well as an analysis of the necessary legislative and institutional frameworks for implementation. And it would help the government of Kazakhstan develop an emissions monitoring system. By partnering with key transportation agencies in Korea, the Kazakhstan government set the foundation for long-term knowledge-sharing as it turns its green growth strategy, in the transportation sector as well as other areas of national concern into a reality.

List of Activities

• Technical Assistance to support KAZ during preparation of the National E-tolling Strategy. This activity would include revision and updating of the strategy that is currently under preparation and provide strategic advice on different aspects where internal capacity of KAZ is not sufficient.  In the short term, the government, through KAZ, intends to introduce e-tolling on the Center-South Road Corridor  and sections of Western Europe-Western China Corridor, and would benefit from a strategy prepared in line with best international practices and accounting for country and regional specificities. In very recent engagement with KAZ, KAZ has informed the Bank that this is a high priority for KAZ and for the country, and requested assistance from the Bank.
• Technical Assistance to develop E-tolling Options and Cost-Benefit Analyses: Analyze the full range of available e-tolling options and their applicability in the Kazakhstan context. Such options may include vignettes and e-vignettes, open e-tolling systems using satellite technology,  closed systems using DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communications) or RFID (radio frequency identification). The options analysis would also explore different levels of tariffs (willingness to pay), and the sequence of e-tolling on the network, and would be supported by a cost-benefit analysis, considering also the environmental benefits. This work would form a foundation for preparation of a revenue generation business plan for KAZ, which is planned as part of the CSP, where the revenue from e-tolling will be used for maintaining and operating the republican network. It will also help the government better monitor the level of emissions by domestic and international freight and regulate emissions charges. The value of this work would be to support the government in finding cost effective solutions for pricing mechanisms and recommendations on pricing policy and technological solutions.
• Technical Assistance to turn the Strategy into Action Plans, comprising institutional set-up, detailed technology specifications, legislation framework, procurement strategy including Bidding Documents, and project management plan. These aspects are critical to turn the vision into action, which will determine the success of this greenhouse gas mitigation proposal.
• Knowledge sharing and capacity building for KAZ and the broader stakeholders, who will be involved in implementing, operating or using the e-tolling system.

Project summary

The objective of this grant is to support the successful fulfillment of Hanoi’s Urban Transport Masterplan with the aim to reduce GHG emissions, relieve traffic congestion, and provide safe, clean public transport services that improve quality of life and access to economic opportunities. In Hanoi’s pursuit of promoting sustainable growth and attracting new users to public transport, the government has issued an Urban Transport Masterplan including eight new metro lines, three of which are currently under construction, along with complementary BRT lines.  The World Bank recently completed a lending project for construction of the first BRT line in Hanoi.  To build on the momentum of this BRT line and continue to promote a shift to increased use of public transport, it is critical that the next mass transit corridor selected for design and construction maximize impact, drawing in the most passengers from less sustainable modes, while providing safe, clean, and efficient access to the city’s job centers.  

In order to assess the mass transit corridors that can provide the greatest benefit, this KGGTF program will fund a network-wide accessibility analysis of the proposed mass transit corridors. This analysis will include any potential for bus route rationalization as it fits in with the future mass transit network.  The importance of such an analysis is significant in providing decision makers information that enables them to maximize the social, environmental, and economic return on future investments.

List of Activities

1. Accessibility analysis
2. Leverage the private sector 
3. Collaboration and best practice sharing 

Outputs and Outcomes

Output 1:

• Identification and use of accessibility analysis software
• Identification of priority mass transit corridor to pursue

Output 2:

• Private sector pursued by government

Output 3:

• Partnership with CityNet 
• Partnership with other Korean institutions and cities 

Outcomes:

• Improved efficiency:  Complementary measures to promote smart investments and incite changes in consumer behavior driving efficiency.  For example, a combination of smart urban planning, investments in public transport, pricing policies, ICT and social marketing are needed to ensure public transport is affordable, safe, and effectively reduces congestion, local air pollution and its health impacts, and GHG emissions.    
• Greater resilience:  Promote increased resilience.  A primary focus will be to make cities, transport systems more resilient against risks arising from past development mistakes and a changing climate. This includes smart infrastructure design that is well adapted to a variety of futures, protection against extreme weather events, integrated water resources management and mechanisms to avoid disruptions of urban and transport services in cases of natural disasters.  
• Increased competitiveness: Underpinning the Korean vision of green growth is the notion that a focus on green sustainability need not come at the expense of growth and that greening can also be a source of increased competitiveness.  This is particularly true for transport and urban policies where substantial synergies exist between environment, energy efficiency and growth objectives.

Project summary

The objective of this grant is to Improve public transport in Bogota by deploying policies that enable a transition to green growth in urban transport. The potential of cities as instruments for enhancing growth and reducing poverty lies in their ability to enable people to benefit from their proximity to one another.  Higher population densities in urban areas generate economies of scale that make it easier for governments to serve larger pools of people with better basic services, resulting in greater livability and quality of life in urban areas.  Bogota has made impressive transport investments in the past, but current demand has not kept up and the city is looking to embark on extensive investments in creating a more sustainable, clean, safe and human-centered urban mobility and urban space. The city has announced ambitious plans to expand and improve transit options, improve the walking and cycling environment, and implement policies to curb congestion and use of private cars. Bogota plans to expand its mass transit network and multi-modalism by increased integration of the Transmilenio Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.  Currently the BRT represents approximately 30% - nearly 2.5 million passengers a day - of the city’s public transit trips.  There is currently the need for improved bus management capacity, route system and smart card integration along with coordination between the metro lines.  

This KGGTF funded program will support activities to improve current public transit operations and user engagement and information through ICT.  The planning, along with control and monitoring capacities of the public transit agency, the improvement to service plans and route systems of the BRT, user accessibility to the system, information given to passengers and the deployment and use of smart card systems will vastly improve the design of the transit systems. Potential solutions will include the conceptual design of an open-sourced information system to strengthen the functions of transit planning, performance management and operations supported by real-time databases that accurately represent both the BRT network and the zonal buses. Technical solutions will be sought to improve the current transit system by finding improvements in the planning of bus dispatch operations along key corridors, improved efficiencies in route plans, and restructuring of routes and priority lanes as well as fare policy changes that incentivize transfers that will decrease users travel times. Additionally policy solutions will be sought that streamline and incentivize intermodal integration such as increasing smart card recharging stations, fare collection contracts, automatic smart card recharging through cellphones, along with new tools developed through passive and open sourced data.

Outcomes:

• Improved efficiency:  This grant will support the intermodal planning and operation of public transport system using ICT technologies, and through finding more efficient ways to involve the private sector in the provision of public transit. The proposed program aims to promote smart, responsive investments by facilitating the deployment of smart card policies, better integrate and engage with citizens, and improving the overall efficiency of transit routes. It hopes to also improve the multimodal integration of Bogotá’s transit network, by assessing and improving how private operators have provided transit services (concession arrangements) and how a new mode, like a subway line, will impact these services (fare structure, subsidies, sources of financing). This will result in a public transport system that reduces the main externalities of the transport network in Bogota today: congestion, safety, pollution and emissions. Furthermore, the combination of smart urban planning at regional and local level with investments in public transport, land use and housing allocation produce an effective master plan 
• Greater resilience:  As previously mentioned -- at peak hours, Transmilenio system’s tend to collapse, users complain of low frequencies, regularity and bunching at stations, an increasingly complex route system, capacity constraints at stations and security and safety concerns, particularly for women, the elderly and children.  Furthermore, research shows that with the SITP reform, most accessibility gains are due to the expansion of the Transmilenio BRT system rather than the creation of the SITP. As it stands, the system is not resilient or responsive. This grant will address those main concerns and lack of resilience that is built in to the system. By creating a multimodal integrative system that is more accessible and responsive to user demands, the overall resilience of the transport network will be increased.  This proposal will promote increased resilience, to make the Bogota- Cundinamarca Region and middle-size cities more resilient against risks arising from past development mistakes and a changing climate. 
• Increased competitiveness: The Korean experience exemplified how a strong focus on public transport improvement can bring about fiscal and environmental gains. After the reform, the total combined deficit for bus, metro, and rail decreased, as well as the social costs of transportation. In 2005, Seoul’s government reported a gain of nearly $2.4 billion in social benefits through reductions in travel time ($2.0 billion), driving costs ($0.3 billion), accidents ($47 million), and air pollution ($41 million). It is the same type of efficiencies that the government of Bogota will try to reap as they promote intermodal & ICT enabled transit strategies.  The strategic regional master plan will reinforce the Korean vision of green growth is the notion that a focus on green sustainability need not come at the expense of growth and that greening can also be a source of increased competitiveness.  This is particularly true for transport and urban policies where substantial synergies exist between environment, energy efficiency and growth objectives.

Project summary

The objective of this grant is to support the pilot service of BRT Line 1 and 2 electric buses in the Integrated Transport System of the Aubrra Valley (SITVA), including recommendations for creating a new bus operator for the corridor of Colombia. Urban transport highly impacts the entire transport sector—the mobility of people and goods accounts for approximately 23 percent of CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, and 15 percent of global GHG emissions. The long-term partnership between the World Bank and the Government of Colombia will support a radical change towards decreased emissions and fossil fuel use in the sector. This partnership has helped Colombia, and particularly SITVA, lead the way in urban transport and become internationally known for innovation. This KGGTF grant supports the program in its use of mainstream green growth strategies and desire to influence government expenditure and investments in future infrastructure. This grant will also support the systematic use of technical and operational know-how.

Project summary

The objective of this grant is to support municipal authorities of Luang Prabang and Siem Reap in fostering green mobility strategies to preserve both cities’ cultural, historical and economic values. There is a global consensus that transitioning to greener mobility will be crucial to the overall success of the climate agenda. Many cities are increasingly facing challenges of high motorization and congestion which undermine their sustainable growth, damage living conditions, and increase the environmental footprint. With the rapid pace of urbanization, the concept of green mobility and walkable cities is becoming imperative for inclusive and sustainable growth, creating high demand for design and implementation of green mobility actions. The proposed activity covers two similar cities of Cambodia (Siem Reap) and Lao PDR (Luang Prabang), that are included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Both cities are having significant cultural, historical and economic value and both are facing similar development challenges: increased motorization, unplanned land use and disordered transport systems expansion, driven by growing tourist numbers. These problems put their future sustainable and inclusive growth at risk but are also creating an opportunity for learning from each other’s experiences and benefiting from synergies in the application of innovative solutions. To implement this program the World Bank KGGTF team will work to strengthen and grow partnerships with institutions in Korea, facilitate knowledge exchange and exposure to best practices, and build innovative tools for the two beneficiary cities.

Project summary

The objective of this grant is to develop a Data Management System to support the Development of the Green Transport Master Plan, the Digital Transformation of the Transport Sector and Intelligent Transport Systems in Egypt. Cairo is one of the five most congested and polluted cities in the world. It accounts for 25% of Egypt’s population and half of its GDP. A World Bank study estimated the costs of congestion in the Greater Cairo Metro Area at 3.6 percent of the country’s GDP. While the Government of Egypt is investing in mass transit transport projects, rapid urban and population growth and increasing motorization warrant the development of a comprehensive strategy to enhance the economic competitiveness of the metropolitan area and the country itself. This project aims at collecting data to develop a Green Transport Master Plan and a crowdsourcing, multi-platform, integrated big data system for tracking traffic, congestion, and accidents in Egypt, starting with the Greater Cairo Region. The data system will support the planning and regulating of urban traffic and development plans. Currently, no agency is systematically collecting urban traffic data, despite the extensive congestion, especially in the Greater Cairo Region. The team responsible for the execution of this activity will partner with the Korea Transport Institute (KOTI), the Korean Energy Agency (KEA) and the Green Technology Center-Korea (GTC-K) to share results, build on existing knowledge on Urban Transport Planning, and leverage digital technologies for Smart Cities development and management.
