NAMA: Santiago Transport Green Zone (STGZ)

Title: Santiago Transport Green Zone (STGZ)
DescriptionOfMitigationAction: The STGZ is comprised of four specific initiatives to promote low carbon emission transport modes that would be implemented within a defined area in downtown of Santiago, Chile. The iniciatives include:  1) Promotion of zero and low emission vehicles in taxi fleets, municipality fleet and charging stations; 2) Incorporation of zero and low emission buses into the public transportation system in Santiago; 3)Promotion of non-motorized vehicle use, including the implementation of 6 km of new bicycle lanes, a pilot program for a bicycle sharing system, 1 connectivity solution for two existing bicycle lanes and bike signs in two areas within the STGZ 4)Traffic re-design and traffic management which new pedestrian and semi-pedestrian streets, exclusive lanes for ZLEV buses and bicycle parking. These four initiatives are integrated in one single area which has been defined in conjunction with the Municipality of Santiago. It’s geographic perimeter includes the Historic Triangle of the city center of Santiago which covers about two square kilometers. Many historic sites of the city can be found inside the STGZ, including the Main Square “Plaza de Armas”, Santiago’s Cathedral, the Government Palace “La Moneda”, the Municipal Theatre, Santiago´s Central Market and the Parque Forestal central park, among others. The selected zone is a very popular, touristic and commercial area, which ensures high impact and high visibility for all the STGZ initiatives. One of the main conclusions of the multistakeholder process to develop the STGZ is that it must be considered as a pilot project with a vast potential for redefining the urban transportation model with a new focus on integrated and sustainable transport. The implementation of the STGZ would also provide new ways of reducing GHG emissions and local pollutants. It is highly replicable in other cities, with the capability to expand from its original zone-definition towards a larger area within each city.

CommentsOnFinancialSupport: The Municipality of Santiago is seeking financial support for the Santiago Green Zone to finance the incremental costs of zero and low emissions vehicles and buses compared with the cost of traditional vehiciles. Support is also being requested for co-financing infrastrcuture related to electric charging points, new bicycle lanes, 1 connectivity solution to connect two existing bicycle lanes, bicycle parking and construction of new pedestrian areas in the Green Zone area. Also for hiring of 5 professional for implementation support and follow up
AmountOfTechnicalSupport: 0
CommentsOnTechnicalSupport: No technology support has been quantified due to this first stage of using ZLEV technologies has the providers commitment in train and give all the technical support and after sale services

AmountOfCapacityBuildingSupportChoice: selected currency
CommentsOnCapacityBuildingSupport: The Municipality of Santiago would require additional human resources in order to lead properly the NAMA STGZ during the implementation process and MRV process. Also, high administrative work is expected in order to backup all the expenses and inform to the international donors.

EmissionReductionsComments: G.2 value represents a escaling scenario evaluated in 10 years wich includes 15% of taxi fleet in Santiago (3,525 units replaced) and 15% of Transantiago bus fleet (975 units replaced), both in full electric technology. This reduction potencial could be greater if more percentage of the fleet is replaced. The STGZ itself only considers two square kilometers of intervention in Santiago, and would reduce 13,000 tCO2 over 10 years

RelevantNationalPolicies: <a name="_GoBack"></a>The Municipality of Santiago has two master plans that interact with the STGZ: 1) for promoting mobility through sustainable transport modes within the commune and 2) for making streets projects in order to improve public espace for pedestrian. The Ministry of Transport has bidded at the end of 2013, 50 electric taxis permit in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago where 19 had been awarded. This was defined by the Ministry of Transport as a pilot and regarding to results, it would be more permits in the future. Four of these 19 electric taxis will be part of the STGZ, in addition of the 50 ZLEV light vehicles considered in the Initiative 1. The Metropolitan Public Transport Directory (DTPM, spanish acronym), Ministry of Transport, is developing the study “Design of a Program for Technological Improvement of Buses in the Public Transport System of Santiago” financed by the UK Embassy in Santiago. The project purpose is to ease the inclusion and accelerate the investment in low and zero emission bus technologies in the fleet renewal projected from 2015 to 2022 (over 5,000 units) and make the Santiago Public Transport System cleaner and more efficient in the future 2018 cocession bid process
