We carried out a pre-investment study at the profile level for the construction of the north-south public transportation corridor of Trujillo. The main objective was to evaluate the feasibility of the solutions we proposed.

Tasks performed

To carry out the study, we conducted a comprehensive diagnosis of the city’s public transportation system. We analyzed demand and supply, and used TransCAD software for modeling, which allowed us to assess capacity and level of service.

We proposed several solution alternatives from a technical and operational perspective, including fleet sizing, bus characteristics, frequencies, operating costs, and route definition. We carried out social and private evaluations, sensitivity and sustainability analyses, and estimated the costs of expropriations, works, and technology.

In addition, we designed the preliminary geometric layout of cross-sections, bus stops, transfer stations, and intersections. The study also included a socio-environmental and vulnerability and risk analysis. Finally, we formulated and evaluated the project following the guidelines of the National Public Investment System (Annex SNIP 5B).

Project Impact

Through a multicriteria analysis, we defined the best alternative for restructuring public transportation in Trujillo. This project provided a clear roadmap to modernize the city’s transportation system.
