Georgia: Green Cities: Integrated Sustainable Transport for the City of Batumi and the Achara Region (ISTBAR)
The objective of this Project is to promote sustainable transport in the City of Batumi and Region of Achara in Georgia. This objective will be met through implementation of four (4) components: i) development of integrated sustainable urban transport plans for the City of Batumi and the Region of Achara; ii) development of specific feasibility studies and functional plans for low carbon transport in Batumi; iii) investments in sustainable urban transport measures in Batumi based on the feasibility studies; and iv) development of sustainable transport plans for other corridors of Batumi and other municipalities in Achara Region and Georgia. The Project will be implemented over a 4-year period and is expected to generate direct GHG emission reductions of 877 tonnes CO2 respectively through sustainable urban transport measures undertaken in Batumi City. Indirect emission reductions are estimated as being some 562,631 tonnes CO2 that is cumulative for a 10-year period after the end of the Project.
