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, Probogotá partner provided essential analytical tools for mobility, including demand system setup, modal transfer zones, and charges for externalities.
"This project is a step forward in planning sustainable mobility from a future City-Region perspective, where mobility is focused on intermodality and sustainable modes of transportation. Its implementation will allow a more harmonious coexistence between different modes of transportation, in addition to encouraging changes in the travel patterns of people, towards sustainable modes of mobility in the region. This will bring a more equitable distribution of public space for mobility and will increase the conditions of accessibility and equity in public transportation."
