Overview

activity

This activity aimed to determine technical feasibility of a potential OBA project that would provide access to public bus transport for people with disabilities. The activity includes studying routing, tariffs, institutional arrangements and preparation of contracts. This opportunity was identified by analyzing the use of OBA in Urban Transport listed below under (1.2) TA to support RBF projects. 

All deliverables were completed in the previous reporting period. The official closing engagement with stakeholders took place in this reporting period, outlining a roadmap for future feasibility of a last-mile access-to-infrastructure project in Bhutan.
