MiTransporte

The project is implemented through the following:

1. The project supports the national government in the development of policies, and (financing) instruments to promote the transition towards clean transport technology and sustainable transport systems.
2. MiTransporte implements specific pilot projects on sustainable urban mobility jointly with local governments, and with the private sector, such as public transport providers as well as with non-governmental organizations.
3. By way of a pilot project with key players in the public transport system, the project aims to develop the regulatory framework and business model for the electrification of public transport in Costa Rica.
4. Participatory processes ensure that the supported measures are appropriate and beneficial. Furthermore, the project promotes the exchange of know-how and experiences in the region to demonstrate best practices of implementing NCDs in the transport sector.

The project is implemented by GIZ and funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).

In Costa Rica, the official partner is the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE). Furthermore, the project is implemented in coordination with other partners such as the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation (MOPT) and local governments.

The project was completed in 2022.
