The National Government has activated the Ksh50 billion Urban Transport Fund to roll out Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret. The World Bank-funded program, launched in May 2024, includes dedicated lanes, smart cards, and electric buses. Nairobi’s Phase 1 (Ngong Road corridor) begins construction in Q3 2024. The goal is to move 1 million commuters daily by 2027, cutting travel time by 50% and emissions by 30%. The fund also supports non-motorized transport like cycling lanes and pedestrian walkways, aligning with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda.
