Book excerpt: The objective is to contribute to the transformation of urban transport in Mexican cities to a lower carbon growth path by improving the quality and sustainability of urban public transport systems and services. There are 4 components. The first component is capacity building financing capacity building at state and in the participating cities, for developing or strengthening the local urban transport development process. Capacity building activities include: (i) preparation, update or completion, of Integrated Transport Plans (ITP) including climate change considerations; (ii) development of plans for modernizing traffic management, efficient allocation of public space for transport related services, and non-motorized transport; and (iii) support for urban transport institutions responsible for sector coordination. The second component developments integrated transit systems. This will finance mass transit corridors and ancillary investments: integrated mass transit corridors - development of integrated mass transit corridors in cities that have an ITP. The third componentpromotes low carbon bus technologies and scraping of buses. This will facilitate market penetration of low carbon vehicle technologies and scrapping of old and displaced vehicles: Market penetration of low carbon vehicle technologies - low-carbon rolling stock. These vehicles would not be purchased otherwise, because it represents an additional financial commitment to the operator not justified by current regulations. The fourth component is project management. This will support the overall technical coordination of activities within the cities through a sub-project implementation unit responsible for social and environmental management as well as the administrative and financial management of the eligible sub-projects. It will include goods, consultancy services, travel and operating costs undertaken for subproject management.
