The main purpose of the meeting was, on the one hand, to discuss the current status of and outlook for the public transportation sub sector as a component of the Transportation Sector in Venezuela, which the CAF, through the Sectorial Programming and Analysis Division, has decided to give priority in its action plans, and, on the other, to coordinate actions for developing a strategy for the sub sector focused on ensuring the long-term sustainability of the large amounts invested by the country in this sub sector.
The meeting produced preliminary agreements on the need to conduct technical studies, starting with a diagnosis of the current status of the Public Transportation System in order to be able to make concrete proposals on a number of critical issues, among them policies on fares and subsidies.
