Stakeholder organizations meet women, groups of women in situations of exclusion south of the city, media and social enterprises of bicycle taxis.
Where will these actions be taken?
This form of movement would be through bike waysestablished in the City of Buenos Aires. This vehicle is designed and intended for use in the city and around Buenos since each city has its own peculiarities in relation to climate and needs.This prototype vehicles in use in other cities, especially in Europe, but also added value in considering Mainstreaming Gender, integrating not only to public policy, in this case the City of Buenos Aires, but also the gender perspective in programs and environmental sustainability so that companies can be scalable elsewhere.
How much will emissions be reduced or sequestered vs. business as usual levels?
Given that the expansion of bike taxis and bicycle lane expands and restricting the use of cars and / or private taxis in the city and on a day when the average car can reach 194.7 emit carbon footprint , multiply 360 days would be reduced by 70,092 a year for a car.
If we aspire in the first section of the implementation of emission reduction of 1,000 cars reduce carbon footprint 70,092,000.
What are other key benefits?
Women Movement Green Circle under the Plan of the City of Buenos Aires 2014
• reach over 1,000,000 people due to the population of the City of Buenos Aires came to 10,000,000 million dollars in it as much economic activity is concentrated in formal employment (64%) of the ownership and nearby residents.
