Move Windhoek:

The City of Windhoek’s Sustainable Urban Transport Master Plan aims to revolutionize urban mobility by creating a safe, reliable, and affordable public transport system. The plan encompasses the development of a comprehensive infrastructure, including Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems, potential Light Rail Transit (LRT), expanded bus networks, and dedicated cycling and pedestrian facilities. It emphasizes environmental sustainability by promoting electric and hybrid vehicles, integrating green spaces, and adopting smart traffic management solutions.

The strategy includes phased development with short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals, supported by stakeholder engagement, public-private partnerships, and robust funding mechanisms. The plan seeks to enhance mobility, improve quality of life, stimulate economic growth, and reduce environmental impact, ultimately aligning Windhoek’s transport system with global best practices for urban sustainability.
