The Inter-American Development Bank (BID)<\/strong> approved a US$38 million<\/strong> loan and a US$9 million<\/strong> non-reimbursable financing to increase electric and inclusive mobility<\/strong> and resilience in public transportation in Panama City<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation approved by the Executive Board of BID<\/strong> will support the electrification of the bus fleet operated by the MiBus<\/strong> system at the El Chorrillo Operations and Execution Center<\/strong> and the improvement of public transportation infrastructure quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will directly benefit approximately 7,700 people<\/strong>, including 5,945 residents<\/strong> from areas influenced by climate urbanism<\/strong> works in the districts of Calidonia<\/strong> and Betania<\/strong>, and 1,828 daily users<\/strong> of the transportation service at the 5 de Mayo Station<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, it will indirectly benefit the 2 million inhabitants<\/strong> of the Metropolitan Area of Panama City (AMCP)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beneficiaries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The MiBus<\/strong> system transports an average of 390,000 passengers per day<\/strong> with a fleet of 1,346 buses<\/strong>. Its main challenge is the renewal of 1,233 buses<\/strong> nearing the end of their useful life, which consume approximately 977,721 liters of diesel<\/strong>, emitting harmful pollutants affecting residents’ health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will finance the acquisition of a fleet of 53 electric buses<\/strong> required for the El Chorrillo Operations and Execution Center<\/strong>, as well as the design and implementation of charging infrastructure<\/strong> and its management system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will also support climate resilience<\/strong> and inclusion<\/strong> in urban transport infrastructure by funding complementary works to those implemented by the Ministry of Public Works<\/strong>, including stormwater drainage systems<\/strong> and accessible and climate-resilient urbanism works<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, it will strengthen MiBus<\/strong>\u2019 capabilities to manage the electric bus fleet and will support programs to increase the labor participation of female drivers<\/strong> and mechanics<\/strong> in electric mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Ministry of Public Works<\/strong>, it will fund technical assistance for managing the works and strengthening their capacities to make urban transportation infrastructure more resilient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
