Review of the ECA Urban Passenger Transport (UPT) sector which could form the basis of guidance to city officials and transport practitioners. The project was sponsored by the Irish Government and administered by the World Bank within a cluster of actions designed to assist reform within the UPT sector in the ECA Region.
Attached below is the set of four reports prepared by the consultants:

a) Reform Options Report : Considers and compares models for the organization of the urban passenger transport with applicability to the ECA Region. Includes international experience and case studies.

b) Administrative Structures Report : Analyses the functions, authority issues, organizational structure options, reporting and oversight relationships within the models for UPT.

c) Administrative Procedures Report : Provides an in-depth examination of possible procedures required to administer the reformed structures under the different models for UPT. Provides details on how to administer competitively bid contracts.

d) Transport Services Contract Report : Considers contracts for the provision of transport services, taking into account international and local best practice.

A supporting document which contains 8 Case Studies complements the set of four reports. These Case Studies have been selected to provide practical working knowledge of organizational form and reform in cities that are relevant to the challenges facing the Cities of the ECA Region. The selected cities are Adelaide, Bishkek, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Helsinki, Leeds, London, and Oslo.
