Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The loan has been effective since November 2010 and has disbursed USD67 million or 47% as of April 2016. The project was restructured in August 2014. The level 2 restructuring of the project resulted in: (i) a reallocation of funds within the components to allow the execution of selected high priority investments for urban transport in the metropolitan areas; (ii) a formal transfer of the implementing unit to the Ministry of the Interior and Transport; (iii) modification of the key indicators for the Project; and (iv) modification of certain Project activities. The restructured project is now focused primarily on three public transport investments under preparation: a BRT project in greater Buenos Aires with proposed works in the municipalities of La Matanza and the city of Buenos Aires; segregated lanes projects in the municipalities of Santa Fe and Rosario. The project is also financing technical assistance to strengthen planning and data platforms for urban mobility planning and management in medium-sized Argentine cities. The project is expected to achieve its development objectives. No key issues to raise. 5/9/2016 Page 2 of 12
