The first phase (APL1) will support: (i) institutional strengthening in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) transport sector institutions, through the creation of the Metropolitan Transport Agency or Consortium and the strengthening of its planning tools and information databases; (ii) support for the electronic ticketing scheme for the AMBA; (iii) transport infrastructure investments in the AMBA and the medium size Metropolitan Areas that are adequately prepared (an underpass and access to suburban railway improvements in AMBA; and infrastructure investments in Tucumán, Mendoza and Posadas); (iv) preparation studies for the remaining infrastructure investments identified in the AMBA and the Medium size Metropolitan Areas (a multijurisdictional project in AMBA to be identified; and infrastructure investments in Córdoba and Rosario); and (v) identification and support studies for other Metropolitan Areas that wish to join the program framework. At this stage, the Metropolitan Areas that have manifested interest in joining the program are Resistencia, Santa Fe, and Paraná. As will be seen further on, APL1 is structured around four components: (i) Creation of a Metropolitan Transport Agency (MTA) for Buenos Aires; (ii) Urban Transport improvements in Argentina#s medium size Metropolitan Areas; (iii) Public Transport Access and mode integration in Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA); and (iv) Sectoral Training: Urban Transport Planning Master.

The project is making progress on its development objectives and particularly in recent months significant progress has been made on developing a functioning metropolitan transport authority, a key development objective of the project. After completing a thorough review of past and in-progress contracts from a fiduciary perspective and making some changes in organizational structure and personnel, the technical team has been strengthened and the governance systems has been improved. In the last few month, the new management of the implementation office has focused on restructuring the project. This process is now significantly advanced and it is the expectation of the Bank team that in the coming months the project will be formally restructured and work will start in earnest to implement each of the components.
