The project will finance the construction of BRT line 4 and 5 in Dar Es Salaam, including separated bus lanes, bus stations, depots, P&R facilities and non-motorised transport (NMT) infrastructure. The project will be implemented in close collaboration with AFD (Agence Française de Développement) and the World Bank.
The aim is to improve the overall accessibility, sustainability and penetration of the city-wide network of dedicated bus-lanes. More specifically, the objectives seek to : -improve the efficiency of the public transport system and encourage the shift to regular collective transport from private cars and minibuses. Additionally, high-quality pedestrian facilities along the BRT Lines will also contribute to the shift towards sustainable transport modes. The shift towards this urban transport system is expected to have a positive social impact by reducing traffic congestion, commuting travel time, while improving accessibility to places of study, work and markets. - improve the quality and attractiveness of public transportation services in the Dar es Salaam Region through the investment in high-quality BRT lanes. -mitigate the negative environmental effects of transportation, notably by reducing air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and road accidents by adopting modern vehicles equipped with the latest engine technology. - improve the drainage in some of the major flood prone areas of the city, by investing in storm water drainage. , By addressing this challenge, the project will be providing an efficient, accessible, climate resilient and safe transport solution.
Any environmental and social impact will be addressed in accordance with the United Republic of Tanzania's national regulations in line with EIB's standards and will be covered by the review of the project specific environmental and social management plan and resettlement action plan.
