Smart-city digital approaches for sustainable urban mobility in Latin-American citiesBasic InformationGrant ID: K-145 Country: Ecuador, Colombia Region: Latin America & Caribbean Sector: Transport Grant Year: Year 7 Grant Title: Smart-city digital approaches for sustainable urban mobility in Latin-American cities Approved Grant Amount: $600000.00 Product Line and P-Code: ASA, P173185 TTLs: Axel Rifon Pérez (Senior Digital Development Specialist) Grant Start/Completion: January 21, 2020~ June 30, 2023 (Anticipated)Grant ActivitiesProject summaryThe objective of this grant is to promote resilient, greener, intelligent and sustainable urban mobility models in LAC cities. Many cities in the developing world are embarking on transit reforms, of which Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are key elements. The impetus is driven by the need to address the negative externalities generated by the often low-regulated traditional bus system congestions, traffic-related accidents, GHG and local pollutant emissions. Many reforms are also driven by the notion that restructuring the supply chain, applying stricter quality control and more efficient regulations will ultimately result in meeting passenger needs in terms of improved accessibility, affordability and safety. This activity will promote a resilient, greener, intelligent, and sustainable urban mobility model in LAC cities by developing a toolkit with three modules: (i) a manual to foster diagnosis of ITS systems; (ii) a manual to ease integral implementation of ITS systems, and (iii) an open source platform to support city-wide reform by integrating privately generated data into public planning and operating processes. This activity will be starting with LAC cities such as Mexico (CDMX), the largest and most populated metropolis in Latin America and the output would be reusable and replicable worldwide. An international example of how to assimilate a conventional bus system into a city-wide integrated scheme, learned from comprehensive reform undertaken in Seoul, will serve as an important reference.

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.

Improving Public Transit & Sustainable Territorial Dev in BogotaBasic InformationGrant ID: K-118 Country: Colombia Region: Latin America & Caribbean Sector: Transport Grant Year: Year 5 Grant Title: Improving Public Transit & Sustainable Territorial Dev in Bogota Approved Grant Amount: $650000.00 Product Line and P-Code: Lending, P165300 TTLs: Vanessa Alexandra Velasco Bernal (Urban Development Specialist) Grant Start/Completion: November 10, 2017~June 30, 2020Grant ActivitiesProject summaryThe 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: The customized methodology will inform the project design for transport initiative within the Bank and improved overall impact of the Bank’s operations in transport sector enhancing green growth. Open Transport Data assessments resulted into action plans for the urban transport open data systems that help reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency and build transportation schemes that reduce environmental damage. Open Transport Data assessments catalyzed lending projects to improve transport information and attracted transport investment. Transport is the first area in which the World Bank will have had the opportunity to develop and apply a Green-Growth focused sector-specific methodology to use Open Data to enhance the green credentials of mainstream projects. Based on this experience, similar adaptations of the methodology to meet green growth requirements in other sectors can be development. Collaboration with K-Partners and Others
