Brazil-BR-GEF Sustainable Transport and Air Quality Project (STAQ)

Integrated Safeguards Datasheet - Appraisal stage
World Bank
September 2009

The Project aims at achieving a reduction of GHG emissions growth rates through
interventions in sustainable, more efficient modes of transport. To this end, the Project would support studies and pilot interventions to: (a) regulate freight transport , (b) integrate urban land-use and transport planning; (c) induce sustainable transport policies, and programs in Brazilian cities that contribute to a long-term increase in patronage of more efficient modes of transport; (d) target research for environmental assessment (both local and global) of transport and land-use measures; (e) pursue political dialogue engaging different actors dealing with transport, land-use, and environment matters at all levels of government; (f) foster a national and regional common approach to sustainable transport, articulating land-use planning, and air quality policies; and (g) create a network of Latin American cities to allow sharing of regional experiences, enhance the analytical tools available at the institutional level, and make them available to all interested cities.
