Hasta el 2006 se desarrolló en 23 ciudades capitales analizando el transporte público municipal prestado en el perímetro urbano. Actualmente la cobertura abarca 8 áreas metropolitanas (Barranquilla, Bogotá, Bucaramanga, Cali, Cúcuta, Manizales, Medellín, Pereira) y 15 ciudades del país. Mensualmente se recolecta y consolida información por tipo de vehículo y nivel de servicio; en lo referente al parque automotor se recoge información sobre viajes recorridos, kilómetros recorridos, pasajeros movilizados y tarifa diurna vigente. Las variables principales de la encuesta son el parque automotor y el número de pasajeros transportados por las empresas legalmente constituidas, que prestan el servicio de transporte y que tienen asociado el pago de una tarifa cuyo valor es determinado por las autoridades competentes (Secretaría de Tránsito y Transporte) en cada uno de los municipios.

    RESETTLEMENT AND MASS TRANSIT IN COLOMBIA LESSONS LEARNED Authors: Carlos Alberto Molina Prieto Senior Social Development Specialist Public Disclosure Authorized Mauricio Cuellar Montoya Senior Transport Specialist October 12, 2017 1. Background. In response to the poor quality of the transport service and after the initial success of Bogota’s BRT system (Transmilenio), the Government of Colombia structured the National Urban Transport Program (NTUP) through the implementation of transport systems in the main cities of the country. The program scope contemplated: i) support for the construction of BRT infrastructure, including stations, portals, pedestrian bridges and the generation and adaptation of Public Disclosure Authorized public space, and (ii) transformation of the relationship between the Government and the transport companies, including the remodeling of their business structure from affiliate companies into concessionaries that would provide a service, in order to eliminate the so called “penny war”. Public Disclosure Authorized BRT station and articulated bus Interior view of the station The proposed scheme defined that the infrastructure would be financed with public resources, with a contribution from the National Government up to 70%, given that fleet and operation expenses were borne by private operators. For the development of the projects, each participating city created an entity in charge of the planning, construction, contracting and control of the operation1 Public Disclosure Authorized (Implementing Agency). The entities created are presented in the following table: 1 In Bogotá the Urban Development Institute (IDU) has been in charge of the construction of infrastructure, and in Medellín, Metro Company has been in charge of the acquisition of vehicles and their operation.

  • Overview Colombia & Infrastructure Opportunities
    Overview Colombia & Infrastructure Opportunities 2020 - 2021 home.kpmg/co 1 Overview - Colombia & Infrastructure Opportunities Presentation Colombia continues to implement and further develop its aggressive program to strengthen its infrastructure. Investment needs in After having successfully awarded – during only the past four years – an unprecedented road concession plan that included infrastructure up to 2035 almost 3,000 Km and requires about USD 9.3 billion in CAPEX for public initiatives and approximately 2,200 Km and USD 7.8 billion in CAPEX for unsolicited proposals, the country is now focused on developing transport logistics solutions, clean energy capabilities, mass transit and more social infrastructure, such USD 136 as hospitals, schools, government buildings and prisons, among others. Finally, the government has also created regulation and billion market conditions for facilitating unsolicited proposals. The figure at the side shows the investment needs in infrastructure up to 2035. The sheer size of the works to be implemented and the required USD 61 billion investment has demonstrated that international investors, debt providers, constructors and developers will be required Road network intervention to actively participate in order to make the program viable. Fortunately, the Colombian government has had a sustained policy of attracting private investment and has actively worked on improving the risk allocation for these projects and USD 5.3 billion strengthening the institutional framework. 31 Airport projects All of the above presents an unprecedented opportunity for private companies. The opportunities highlighted in this document reflect a great variety of products and services that can be provided from the private companies, such as equipment, USD 3.6 billion technology, financing, insurance as well as construction and Railway rehabilitation operational capabilities.
