In Colombia, urban transport is the main cause of particle emissions that contribute to climate change and air pollution. To deter the use of individual private transport, it is necessary to make improvements in public transport, shorter distances between services, and have good infrastructure for non-motorized transport.

The project involved building a strategic plan for sustainable mobility in the Bogotá region, encouraging and integrating sustainable modes such as public transit and bicycles. Through tailored support to the Secretary of Mobility in Bogotá, the implementing partner provided essential analytical tools for mobility, including demand system setup, modal transfer zones, and charges for externalities.

Long-term outcomes

  • Diagnosis of pedestrians and cyclists accessibility and assessment of the mobility conditions in select areas of the Bogotá region.

  • Development of the conceptual design of a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platform, ensuring interoperability for fare collection and transport data in the Bogotá region. This design included defining principles and guidelines for selecting an institutional and commercial model for the implementation of the MaaS platform. Additionally, the conceptual design of an MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) module for Bogotá’s transport GHG emissions was completed.
  • Development of a document containing the diagnosis and an update of the walkability and bikeability indicators within a Geographic Information System (GIS) layer. These indicators were grouped by locality, UTAM, and corridor level.
