Outcomes: The outcome accelerated to shift to environmental-friendly transport mode by providing reasonable evaluation tools, and ensured monitoring of GHG emissions and other risks to sustainability during implementation. The project contributed to build sustainable and resilient railway systems in developing countries. The project promoted efficient railway projects through adequate planning tools and sound rationale and prioritization during project identification and preparation. A well designed tool and pilot program showed desirable change in railway systems to developing countries to build more sustainable and efficient transport system, globally reducing risks of climate change resulted from GHG emission. The methodology to promote railway projects helped to exploit opportunities to reduce fossil fuel use in transport. This led to immediate cost reductions in long-distance freight transport and reduced transport costs once carbon prices rise as carbon trade markets are getting enlarged in many countries. In the urban context the relief to congestion improved local labor markets, helping to increase productivity. Collaboration with K-Partners and Others

In this regard, India lags behind other developed countries. Inefficient, unreliable, unsophisticated logistics directly impact the competitiveness of agriculture, industry and ultimately the entire country. The challenge ahead for India is twofold: increase the efficiency of the logistics sector to support the ambitious Post-COVID development targets, while bringing about a radical decarbonization of the sector.Fortunately, there is an important alignment between the economy’s need for an efficient, modern logistics sector and the climate imperative. Both require the development of a competitive integrated multi-modal system and the modernization of trucking ecosystem. On this premise, the grant aims to support the transformation and decarbonization of the freight sector in India, focusing on a deep dive engagement of the trucking industry to power a multimodal, efficient, and connected logistics.

Bishkek’s residents, for example, spend an average of 30% more time commuting than the national average owing to chronic traffic congestion issues. The average rush hour in Nur Sultan extends from 20-30 minutes to 2 hours when children return to school, highlighting the city’s growing need for capacity and public transport as the population and private vehicle registrations continue to swell. In Bishkek and Nur-Sultan, 75% and 55% of local air pollution is generated by the transport sector, respectively. This frequently results in a toxic smog with cold polluted air trapped below a layer of warm air (inversion) owing to the mountainous terrain around Bishkek. Local particulate emissions are frequently above safe levels in Bishkek and Nur-Sultan. The grant aims to provide support to the identification and implementation of smart and sustainable digital solutions to address transport-related emissions and improve urban mobility in Bishkek and Nu-Sultan. The grant activities complement the Innovative Solutions for Urban Mobility in Central Asia project. List of ActivitiesComponent 1: Public Transport Financial Resilience

Severe traffic congestion, air pollution, rising road fatalities and injuries, inadequate public transport services, and vulnerability to natural hazards such as flooding are affecting the city’s livability and disproportionately hurting the vulnerable and low-income population. The challenges faced by UB’s urban transport sector necessitates not only infrastructure investments, but also innovative solutions to efficient service provision. On this premise, the grant aims to lay the analytical foundation of a solution to public transport service provision to improve the ability of the low-income residents in the peripheral area of UB. Specifically, the grant will support the design and development of the first ever On-Demand Transit Service (ODTS) based on the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) concept for Ulaanbaatar. The concept of the MaaS lies on an integrated, multi-modal, and technology enabled mobility service. In order to develop and organize the public transport sector based on the MaaS concept and introduce the ODTS, numerous policies, processes and technology interventions will be needed.

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.

Six countries in the Southern Caucasus and Eastern Europe including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, are engaged in a joint initiative to improve connectivity, and to promote transport and infrastructure connections and increased mobility of passengers and goods. Recent increases in commodity prices and fluctuations in energy prices have further revealed the technological and structural weakness of these economies’ transport and connectivity systems, presenting an important opportunity for green freight and passenger transport. This KGGTF grant will support the development of an assessment model across the six countries, as well as an impact assessment of a number of green connectivity measures, the preparation of a user-friendly assessment tool, and the consideration of innovative financial instruments to implement those measures. Transforming the current system into a low-carbon, more energy-efficient and eco-friendly one will generate more opportunities for green growth and ultimately promote sustainable economic growth and development.
