This report by ICLEI describes the ‘green transportation plan’ of Mexico City, previously known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. The transport system has relied on cars and environmentally inefficient and unsafe microbuses, creating extreme levels of congestion which led to an average daily commute of 2.5 hours and dangerous levels of environmental pollution – posing threats to the health and welfare of its residents.

The objective of the Sustainable Transport and Air Quality Project for Mexico is to assist the selected municipalities to: (i) reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions growth rates by fostering long term increases in the use of less energy intensive transport modes; and (ii) induce policy changes in favor of sustainable transport projects. There are five components to the project. The first component of the project is freight management. This component will improve the planning, management, and control of freight transport in Ciudad Juarez.
