EMBARQ: Mexican Cities Take Lead on Sustainable Transport

…“I am convinced that the problems of traffic congestion, air contamination, the loss of time spent on excessively long trips, discomfort to transport system users, and transit accidents can be resolved through developing effective transportation mechanisms like Macrobus,” he said.

…“Without the governor’s leadership, a project like this, done in such a short amount of time, would have been impossible,” Lobo says.

…Macrobús was made possible through technical and financial support from EMBARQ – The World Resources Institute Center for Sustainable Transport, a non-profit based in Washington, D.C., and CTS-México, part of EMBARQ’s international network of sustainable transport organizations. CTS-México staff provided technical expertise during the planning and implementation stages, and will continue to support the start-up operations.
