Project description
and objectives:
|
The proposed project will comprise of a senior loan of EUR 30 million (or its equivalent in Ukrainian Hryvnya) to the city of Kiev or one of its wholly owned municipal companies.
The Loan will finance the design and implementation of an Active Traffic Management System and Road Improvement Programme in the city of Kiev, as part of the overall City Transport Development Strategy. System operation is envisaged to be operated in line with best international practice.
In 2007 the EBRD lent EUR 100 million to the two municipal transport companies of the City for the purchase of new buses, trolleybuses and metro trains. The Active Traffic Management System, coupled with specific junction and corridor improvements, will complement and expand upon an initial city-planned and financed Urban Traffic Control (UTC) system. The investments planned here will introduce changes to the current transport system in the city that will enable a higher level of overall travel capacity by increasing vehicle throughput per lane kilometre, a lowering of congestion levels during daily peak hours, a lowering of emissions levels, lower accidents rates, and increase travel speeds for both private and public transport modes.
The project will further contribute to the institutional strengthening of the city in respect of procurement and contact supervision.
An international consultant will conduct a pre-feasibility study for Dnipro Tunnel and advise on the Public Private Partnership structuring.

Transition impact:
|
Transition impact is expected to be achieved through:
(i) outsourcing traffic and street management in the city centre to a specialist private traffic management company.
(ii) the active traffic management approach will include the design of pilot projects to introduce managed pricing on congested corridors as a means of internalising the economic cost caused by individual motorists on congested urban corridors, while at the same time encouraging the use of high-capacity public transport modes as the most efficient means of accessing the city centre.
(iii) Preparation of best-practice PPP structuring for a potential major new tunnel facility for Kiev, as well as the preparation of a parking strategy to proper pricing in the management of on- and off-street parking in the city’s high-demand areas, both of which should lead to the launching of a PPP tendering processes in the near term.

Environmental impact:
|
Screened C/1. The project is aimed at helping the city of Kiev to develop sustainable public transport systems. Main activities proposed within the Active Traffic Management System include expansion of a traffic management centre covering an installation and deployment of a software package that will improve the traffic, ease the congestion, improve the road safety and monitor environmental pollution. These activities are mainly associated with environmental and health and safety benefits as they will improve the flow of traffic and road signage, and allow for on-line monitoring of environmental pollution caused by the motor transport. A corporate environmental audit of the Kiev Autodor, main project executing agency, will be undertaken to review the client’s environmental and social management capacity as well as the environmental and social sustainability of their planning process.
This section will be updated upon the completion of the environmental due diligence.

Technical
cooperation:
|
Post-signing
- Active Traffic Management Design, to define in detail the combination and application of the various elements that will constitute the new system to improve traffic flow. Due to its effects on traffic management, this assignment will also include the development of a Parking Strategy introducing the foundation for a comprehensive best-practice PPP parking management scheme. Finally, the assignment also will prepare an Environmental Management Plan for the traffic junction improvement components.
- Procurement, Implementation Support and Contract Supervision to assist the Project Implementation Unit in contracting and supervision of the elements to finance within the Active Traffic Management programme. This will include international best practice assistance with the supervision and monitoring by the City of the out-sourcing contracts for the operation and maintenance of the new traffic management system to be put in place along the core street network in Kiev.
- PPP Structuring and pre-feasibility study for Dnipro Tunnel PPP at EUR 200,000, non-reimbursable.
