The project (APL1) development objectives contribute to the overall program development objective by: (i) supporting the design and creation of a multijurisdictional Metropolitan Transport Agency for the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA); (ii) strengthening the institutional capacity of the transport authorities in decision making, planning, priority setting, and resource allocation in urban transport; (iii) improving the quality and performance of urban transport infrastructure and/orservices in medium size Metropolitan Areas; and (iv) improving the physical integration and access to public transport networks in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area.

An Additional Financing for USD45 million was approved on January 27, 2017, declared effective on June 07, 2017, and has a closing date in June 30, 2019. The AF covers a cost overrun related to the civil works of the La Matanza BRT system and will allow to complete the multimodal Saenz Transfer Station. The Project has been focused primarily on three public transport investments: 1. segregated lanes projects in the municipalities of Rosario and Santa Fe (completed); 2. a BRT project in La Matanza (bus lanes were inaugurated on May 5, 2017 and the civil work was finalized with the completion of the Transfer Station Center in Gonzales Catan by July 17, 2017); and 3. a multimodal Transfer Station in the Belgrano Sur suburban rail line in city of Buenos Aires (expected to be completed by January, 2019). The Project has also supported non-motorized transportation through the construction of bike paths in the cities of Tucuman and Salta. Technical assistance has also been financed to strengthen planning and data platforms for urban mobility planning and management in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires and medium-sized Argentine cities, like Salta, La Rioja, and Corrientes. Currently, the Project is implementing two Trust Funds: - Greening urban growth in Metropolitan Buenos Aires financed by the Korean Green Growth Trust Fund. Transport Team is working together with the Urban Team to support the metropolitan agenda in the AMBA through activities that are focused in developing a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) strategy for the railroad project RER (Red de Expresos Regionales). The activities will include: (i) support to the design of the RER (ii) a note to define a TOD-RER concept (iii), a study on land use dynamics in AMBA including an economic evaluation, (iv) support to the development of a TOD pilot project. The first phase of these works is expected to finalized in June, 2018. - Improving public transport, walking and cycling in Argentina s Cities of the Interior: A look at Smart Mobility Solutions Trust Fund, supported by the Spanish Fund for Latin America & Caribbean (SFLAC). The task team has been working closely with the Secretary of Transport Planning to develop useful tools for data driven planning including: (i) Using cell phones & High-Resolution sensor data to Understand Individual Travel Patterns in Argentinian cities; ii) Supporting Data Analytics of Automatic Fare Collection Data; and (iii) Quantifying Housing and Transportation Affordability in Buenos Aires. These works are expected to finalized in March, 2018. A workshop to disseminate results of this technical collaboration is planned for the first semester of 2018.
