Improving traffic flow and enhancing road safety are critical to Lima which was ranked the fourth most congested metropolitan area in the world in 2022. The World BankÕs Transport Global Practice leveraged mobility data from [Mapbox](https://www.mapbox.com/), [Veraset](https://www.veraset.com/), and [Waze](https://www.waze.com/wazeforcities/) to inform interventions to improve LimaÕs transport network.

## Challenge

Transport is one of the most pressing problems in Lima. According to World Bank analysis, only about 18 percent of all jobs in the metropolitan area can be accessed within 45 minutes of travel by public transport or non-motorized transport, and less than 1 in 10 Lima residents report feeling satisfied with public transport quality. The World Bank has estimated that LimaÕs transport woes are costing the entire country of Peru the equivalent of 1.8 percent of its GDP each year.

Reliable and robust data analysis is essential for policy makers and international development organizations such as the World Bank to study how to improve peopleÕs daily lives in the city, such as easing traffic bottlenecks and improving road safety.

The goals of the program are manifold: improving traffic flow, enhancing road safety, lowering carbon emissions, promoting a shift toward walking, cycling, and public transport, and redesigning neighborhoods to boost walkability.
