Developing Urban Mobility and Road Safety Capacity Building in Bolivia

Comprehensive Road Safety Program: Developing Urban Mobility and Road Safety Capacity Building in Bolivia

The Bolivia Comprehensive Road Safety Program is a program funded by the GRSF, managed by the World Bank and executed by CAF. The main objectives are to:

• Promote Safe Urban Mobility: To deliver a road safety plan for four Bolivian cities that will be developed as an integrated part of the Urban Mobility Plans.

• Road Safety Capacity Building: To diagnose the road safety situation in Bolivia and suggest actions to be taken by the Lead Agency and key partners in road safety in line with the country’s goals.

With this project, GRSF has supported the development of Road Safety Action Plans in Bolivia through comprehensive technical support and consultations.

Additionally, GRSF has worked with Bolivian authorities to advance:

• A methodology for streets and highways speed limit determination in Bolivia and application on newly developed highways.

• An alternative Traffic Fines Scheme and a core training course for professionals.

• Recommendations to improve the Bolivian Traffic Code (speed, institutional) nationally. 

GRSF has actively contributed to the update of the National Traffic Law in its transformation to a road safety and traffic law.
