The objective of the Qinghai Xining Urban Transport Project for China is to enable Xining residents to travel between the city center and the western part of Xining City in a fast, efficient, and safe manner, through strategic improvements to Wusixi road, a major transport and urban development corridor. The project consists of the following components: 1) urban roads; 2) public transport; 3) intelligent traffic management; and 4) institutional capacity building. The first component deals with financing construction of three short road sections which are part of the proposed integrated public transport corridor and are necessary for providing good quality public transport services in the newly developed Xichuan district in the west of the city. The second component finances improvements to public transport infrastructure, operations, and complementary facilities on the proposed integrated public transport corridor on Wusixi road. The third component finances the development of an intelligent traffic management system in support of the proposed integrated public transport corridor on Wusixi road, while the final component improves the city's institutional capacity for urban transport planning and management through financing specific activities.
