📋 Tender Overview
With the support of international cooperation, projects are promoted to improve public transportation and the quality of life of the population.The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), through the National Sustainable Urban Transportation Program (Promobility), simultaneously completed the field work for the formulation of three Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (PMUS) in the cities of Juliaca, Chiclayo and Huancayo, as well as two pre-investment studies for the implementation of Integrated Transportation Systems (SIT) in Huamanga and Piura. These initiatives will improve public transportation and the quality of life of more than 2 million citizens.
To develop these studies, specialized technical teams conducted more than 20 thousand household surveys, in order to identify the populations travel patterns, the reasons for travel, as well as the time and cost of daily trips. Likewise, information was collected through vehicle counts and route analysis, ensuring that the design of the projects responds precisely to the real needs of each city.
Within the framework of the SUMP, the activities began with launch events open to citizens, in which the identity of each project was presented and the active participation of the population was encouraged through spaces for dialogue and consultation that will continue throughout the formulation process. The execution of these studies constitutes a milestone for the current management of the MTC, by unblocking urban mobility initiatives postponed for several years and providing local governments with key technical tools to strengthen urban planning, improve public transportation and move towards more orderly and sustainable cities.
These actions have an investment of more than five million euros, financed through a strategic alliance with the European Union and the German Cooperation - KfW, through the funds of the Latin American Investment Facility (LAIF). With this, the MTC reaffirms its commitment to working in an articulated manner with local governments and citizens to build a modern, inclusive, safe and efficient transportation system, which contributes to the sustainable development of the country.
In this regard, the Vice Minister of Transportation Juan Haro highlighted that these projects will allow progress towards more orderly cities with better services for the population. At the MTC we are working so that urban transportation stops being a problem and becomes a solution for peoples daily lives. These studies will allow us to plan more accessible and sustainable cities, putting the citizen at the center of each decision, he said.
The Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans and pre-investment studies will make it possible to promote future projects to improve public transportation, with direct benefits in the quality of life, urban planning and the reduction of emissions, in favor of more than 2 million citizens of Juliaca, Chiclayo, Huancayo, Huamanga and Piura. Likewise, the MTC reaffirms its commitment to working together with local governments and citizens for modern, safe and sustainable transportation.
