SSC Why?

Rapid urban growth and motorizationCongestion, energy consumption, air pollution, road fatalities and injuries, lack of physical activity

Limited funding, capacity

But very good ideas and practices (e.g):Sustainable mobility oriented development

Sustainable transport – health and road safety

Innovate finance – PPP, TDM

Bus Rapid Transit and Integrated Public Transport

BRT showcases effective south-south cooperation:

High performance, low cost, rapid implementation, positive impacts

Examples have inspired rapid uptake in varied geographies

Expertise exchange: LAC, Asia, Africa and back

Outstanding issuesWhat is BRT? or types of BRT?

Comparison with alternatives – Tram, LRT, Metro; What is the niche for BRT?

Land use integration – safe access?

Road Safety – Health – Climate Change?

Quality of service – subsidies - finance?

PPP contracts, incentives, control?

…

Need to continue working in these and other issues
