Mexico: Supporting digital transformation of the public transport

The Mexican and the German Government, through the Secretariat for Agrarian, Land and Urban Development (SEDATU) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), respectively, jointly support the implementation of the urban mobility project "Transition towards an integrated, accessible and smart public transport system in Mexico (TranSIT)".

The project aims to improve the framework conditions for an accessible, smart, and climate-friendly public transport in Mexico. TranSIT aims to develop solutions at the national and subnational level around three areas:

1. Decision-making tools: Development and improvement of decision-making tools and strengthening of professional competencies of public transport employees in the public and private sector.
2. Demonstration projects: Implementation of demonstration projects to create hands-on experience at the subnational level and empower actors to independently apply further improvements and replicate measures.
3. Knowledge exchange and transfer: Dissemination of experiences and lessons learned from the demonstration projects in exchange networks.

The main counterpart of the project is the Mexican Ministry of Agrarian, Territorial, and Urban Development (SEDATU). TranSIT works closely with the mobility and transport authorities of the pilot regions in Oaxaca, Yucatan, Puebla and León/Guanajuato, the private sector, NGOs, civil society, and academia on state and subnational levels.
