INOVEMOB CHALLENGE In 2018, WRI Brasil and Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF), in partnership with the National Mayors Front (FNP), promoted the InoveMob Challenge. Focused on mobility solution entrepreneurs, researchers and companies, the contest was aimed at leveraging innovative solutions to solve transport problems in areas with an intense flow of people - like transport stations and terminals, industrial districts, schools, commercial centers, universities and hospitals, among others. Over 100 proposals were submitted, of which 12 semifinalists were selected to take part in a capacity-building workshop. Five finalists received financial support of approximately BRL 60,000 and implemented their pilot projects in the Brazilian cities of Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Juiz de Fora and São Paulo. At the end of the year, the grand winner was announced - Bynd -, which received around BRL 400,000 to scale the up project and introduce it into other cities. The Bynd project is a ride-share application for companies, which looks to foster more efficient use of cars in urban centers. WRI Brasil supported the startup in the implementation of the solution and communication planning in the Ministry of Cities and with the Juiz de Fora city administration. IDENTIFICATION OF BARRIERS TO THE ELECTRIFICATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT BY BUS Electric buses are proving to be a clean and efficient public transport solution all over the world. However, cities in developing nations still face a series of challenges when attempting to implement similar solutions to mitigate climate change. WRI mapped four leading barriers that hinder the implementation of electric buses: (i) high initial outlay; (ii) technological uncertainty; (iii) outdated acquisition models; (iv) fear of change and a lack of expertise. WRI Brasil has been working with several Brazilian cities to overcome these obstacles. We have conducted studies and technical analyses that support cities in identifying the economic and environmental benefits of electric buses. The Urban Mobility team also helps cities to structure business models and offers technical support according to the needs of each city - for example, staging training sessions or undertaking studies about specific aspects. In 2018, WRI Brasil worked closely with three Brazilian cities: São Paulo, Belo Horizonte and Niterói. In parallel, given that the implementation of electric buses also depends on public policies, we hosted a training session with the Ministry of Cities to promote this discussion at the level of the federal government. SUSTAINABLE URBAN PLANNING Urban planning is crucial for cities to develop in a sustainable, inclusive and efficient way. Transit- Oriented Development (TOD) is a planning strategy that helps cities along this path, by aligning mobility planning with use of the land. Thus, with the goal of assisting Brazilian cities to integrate this approach into their planning processes, in 2018 WRI Brasil launched a guide called "Transit-Oriented Development in Master Plans". The publication features sustainable urban development concepts, such as the 3C (compact, connected and coordinated) model, and analyses urban actions and instruments so that Brazilian cities can include sustainable development strategies in their master plans. To encourage the application of these guidelines and expand the reach of the publication, WRI Brasil hosted a capacity building session in Rio de Janeiro for over 30 technicians from the Metropolitan Region. Three capital cities - Teresina, Recife and Rio de Janeiro - also relied on our support during the review of their master plans to promote sustainable development strategies, especially TOD. For example, Teresina, the capital of Piauí (Northeast Brazil), established a series of urban initiatives in its Master Plan to ensure that the city develops effectively along the lines of public transport. Besides the focus on sustainability, this technical support offered has a special focus on urban funding instruments, aimed at making the territorial strategies of the Master Plan viable through the recovery of real estate value.
