To start, they have begun the construction of 205.2km of new passenger transportation infrastructure in October 2015, which would be integrated into the Aburra Valley population (Martinez-Jaramillo, J. E., et al). This infrastructure includes more trains, gondola lifts, LRT’s, trams, and mini trains that cover a much more comprehensive area, reducing the need for the population to rely on individual transports like motorcycles, thus reducing the cost to the passenger and the amount of emissions created. Of course, all the aforementioned systems would run on electricity instead of fossil fuels, which could then be generated using renewable sources.

This infrastructure is a part of only 3 mini plans that are currently in motion, with many more being designed and formulated. But these are set to have a massive impact on emissions per passenger, and greatly determine the course of the air pollution crisis. Over the next 20 years, more projects will be designed and executed to further move towards the goal of reducing emissions, while keeping it affordable for the population.
