The national government and the municipalities of Montevideo, Canelones and San José make available the technical studies prepared for the project to transform the metropolitan transportation system.
On the occasion of the creation of the Metropolitan Transportation System Agency (ASTM), established by Law No. 20,446, a Transitory Unit was formed made up of representatives of the Municipalities of Montevideo, Canelones and San José, the MTOP and the MEF.
It is currently preparing the adhesion agreements for the operationalization of the Agency, with the agreement of all parties, it resolved to make public the studies and consultancies carried out during 2025 and to date. They are fundamental inputs for the development of the public transportation transformation project in the metropolitan area, a commitment of the national government and that the ASTM will carry out.
The documents were prepared by national and international consulting firms and by the Faculty of Architecture of the University of the Republic, hired by the MTOP, with non-reimbursable technical cooperation funds from multilateral organizations such as the IDB, CAF and the World Bank.
The inputs presented include infrastructure preliminary projects, engineering studies, traffic and public transportation simulations, analysis of circulation alternatives, commercial surveys and geotechnical studies. These reports constitute the first step to redesign this system, with the aim of reducing travel times and improving quality, reliability and urban integration.
These preliminary studies are the basis for advancing in the definition of the project and will be complemented by other studies and instances of exchange and participation with all actors.
The publication of this information seeks to guarantee the transparency of the process, facilitate citizen access to the available technical inputs and provide objective elements to the debate on the future of the metropolitan public transportation system.
