How to Modernize the Rail System in Buenos Aires

To improve the quality of its public transportation, the Government of Argentina asked the Inter-American Development Bank for a US$1.2 billion conditional credit line for infrastructure projects (CCLIP, AR-X1018) to rehabilitate the metropolitan rail lines of Buenos Aires. The CCLIP funding mechanism facilitates the financing of independent projects in the framework of a large-scale investment program while maintaining a shared vision. The Comprehensive Improvement Project for the General Roca Rail Line: Plaza Constitución-La Plata Branch is the first CCLIP transaction, worth US$300 million. The objectives of the project are to reduce travel times, offer safer and more reliable rail service, and improve user comfort. The Ministry of Transport, through the Central Executing Unit (CEU), is responsible for implementing the project. It maintains open and coordinated communication with multiple stakeholders, including Roca Line management, the Administracion de Infraestructuras Ferroviarias Sociedad del Estado (ADIFSE), and municipalities along the track.
