In Peru, transport is a major contributor to GHG emissions due to years of car-centric policies and inadequate planning. Recently, efforts have focused on creating an integrated transport system, promoting sustainable modes, and embracing electromobility.
Despite these efforts, challenges remain. Political commitment and funding are needed to prioritize sustainable transport projects, and a broader perspective that includes gender and vulnerable groups is essential for effective planning. Shifting the cultural mindset around car use is crucial. Digitalization has the potential to be a game-changer, reducing emissions and increasing accessibility for all users.
Lima-Callao
The Urban Transport Authority of Lima aims to lead the shift from car-centric to sustainable transportation through a multidisciplinary approach, enhancing the quality of life, health, safety, and labour integration
ACCESS Activities
- Pilots and implementation
Lima-Callao: Increase technology capabilities in the transport sector, for data collection and data analysis. This will result in indicators such as GHG reductions, energy savings, accessibility, useful to develop an information system to monitor mobility patterns emphasising vulnerable groups and gender.
Arequipa: Guide renewal public transport fleet by using a digital tool that allows decision-makers and operators to consider the benefits of using electric vehicles instead of diesel conventional vehicles.
- Subnational policy and plans
Lima-Callao:
- Policies that promote DoT
- Impact of the transport sector on air quality and the development of standards.
- Regulation for small operators and new transport services for decision making based on data-driven
Arequipa:
- Guidelines for using information and data technologies in the transport sector.
- Define electromobility regulations and their support for sustainable mobility plans.
- National support framework
- “Digitalization Readiness Assessment” in other cities.
- National transport digitalization strategy.
- Acceleration of the "National Strategy for digital transformation in the transport sector".
- External funding sources and financing strategies for the DoT.
- Informative guidelines on digitalization in the transport sector demonstrating benefits
Partners (TBC)
The Ministry of Environment (MINAM) orchestrates the national strategy for the ACCESS project, collaborating with the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Energy. Locally, the Urban Transport Authority (ATU) partners with national authorities to promote transport digitalization.
