    In 2016 a large catch-up* in infrastructure investments is being confirmed by several Latin American countries, driven by the knowledge that economic growth relies heavily on quality infrastructure. The transport sector is going to firmly benefit from the expected increase in public and private funds. The continent being one of the most urbanized regions in the world, a large focus goes into urban rail projects: Mexico, Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Brazil… are planning new projects for metro, light rail, high speed rail, monorail and passenger trains. One country is clearly taking the lead: Argentina. Besides boosting its investment climate and PPP laws, Argentina made public the ambitious 8-year 14.187 m USD investment in Buenos Aires` commuter network. Related key projects are the city`s RER and tunneling of the Sarmiento line. The Latin America Passenger Rail Expansion Summit will bring together local and international stakeholders, government officials, operators, developers, architects, consultants and equipment plus solution providers to discuss the current rail sector. *300.000 m USD is what Latam should be investing annually, versus the 150.000 m USD spent annually on infrastructure in the previous 20 years. http://latinamerica.railexpansionsummit.com OUTLOOK SOME OF THE TO BE INVITED DELEGATES Argentina foresees 14187 m USD ANPTrilhos INCOFER, Costa Rica Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones, Peru 14187 investment in AFE Uruguay VLT Carioca Consortium Directorio de Transporte Público Metropolitano, Chile suburban network.

  • The Urban Rail Development Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability.

  • Location: ECLAC, Santiago, Chile “Moving Towards the Implementation of Safe, Affordable and Sustainable Urban Mobility in Lati
    “Moving towards the Implementation of Safe, Affordable and Sustainable Urban Mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean” Location: ECLAC, Santiago, Chile 5 - 6 October 2017 Among the guiding principles of the New Urban Agenda (NAU) is the importance of strengthening mobility and sustainable urban transport. Likewise, the proposed Regional Action Plan for the implementation of NAU also seeks to promote sustainable modes of transport in the face of the challenges of climate change, urbanization and urban population growth. This event will focus on opportunities to accelerate the systemic implementation of safe, affordable and sustainable urban mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and its integration in the proposed Regional Action Plan and the global agendas, in particular the NAU, Agenda 2030 and Paris Agreement. Representatives of national and sub-national governments, representatives of local government networks, representatives of international organizations, experts and academics on mobility and transport issues, representatives of the private sector and international cooperation, and others will participate in this event. The session seeks to integrate urban mobility into public policy dialogue, capacity building and urban investments. It will also facilitate the exchange of good practices and local public policy recommendations to strengthen the institutional framework for sustainable urban mobility and explore the roles and responsibilities of different actors who can facilitate a sustainable transport agenda (development banks, the private sector, cooperation agencies, etc.). In addition, the session will seek to deepen the links between sustainable urban development and mobility (ie., via transit-oriented development), the role of mobility in resilience and adaptation, private sector participation, and lastly, equality and gender issues in urban mobility.

    April PRESS RELEASE Alstom’s innovative solutions for Line 2 of Panama Metro start commercial service 26 April 2019 – Alstom, leader of Grupo de Empresas (GdE), celebrates together with Consorcio Linea 2 (formed by Odebrecht and FCC) the entry into commercial service of Line 2 of Panama Metro. The Group has been in charge of supplying an integrated metro system which includes 21 Metropolis trainsets as well as traction substations including Hesop reversible substation, and Urbalis – Alstom Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) solution which controls the movement of the trains and enables trains to run at higher frequencies and speeds in total safety. "We are honored and grateful to be providing an integrated system that both improves the operation of the metro line and reduces the environmental impact. As the commercial service starts, these technologies will allow the residents of Panama to have a reliable, comfortable and environmentally friendly means of transportation in the city", said Ludovic d'Hauthuille, Managing Director of Alstom North Latin America. In order to optimize energy consumption, the electrical power supply system will be equipped with substations with Hesop technology, the Alstom solution for reversible substations that allows recovering and transferring more than 99% of the energy generated by the braking of the trains. This energy can be reused in the electrical network of the stations for services such as escalators, lighting and ventilation. The Hesop reversible substation is available and operational since 2015, in a wide range of voltage and power configurations. One hundred twenty-four Hesop substations have been installed in various railway networks, including the metros in Milan, Riyadh, London and Dubai, as well as the Sydney and Milan trams.
