Madrid desires to shop for 206 electric buses for 108 million euros and Valencia, twenty for 13.five million. Barcelona, ??additionally to acquiring 10 of these vehicles, plans to finance with almost thirty four million half of one of its longest-running mobility comes: the affiliation through the town center of its two tram sections already beneath construction. Seville is committed to creating a high capacity tram line. And thus, up to 190 municipalities have submitted proposals to qualify for the 1,00zero million euros from the Recovery Arrange to form low-emission zones and rework their public transport.

The European manna that the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda will distribute has generated excess demand: requests are around one,500 million and it's potential that this figure will still increase, as a result of some requests are still being presented when some councils argue that they're not They were in a position to try and do it during a timely manner last September, when the deadline ended. The Government must decide a way to channel the distribution of funds.

In the requests received so way in the Department of Raquel Sánchez, 3 giant figures stand out: the request for funds to buy no less than 712 electrical buses (twelve of hydrogen), to set up 972 recharging points for these vehicles and to put in one,354 stations for bicycles. rental or electrical scooters.

However beyond these investments in decarbonized transport there's another quantity that pulls attention. This is that the thirty fourfour.half-dozen million euros claimed to purchase the variation of urban areas for the creation of “pedestrian zones and routes”, that would enter the vertical ramps and an elevator projected, for example, by the Vigo City Council. It's the game most demanded by the consistories that have come back to the provide of the ministry. If all the proposals were to go ahead, more than twenty one.seven million sq. meters would become pacified areas for road traffic (the presence of motorized vehicles on the streets is reduced and therefore the safe area for pedestrians is increased), the equivalent of the surface area occupied by the Wanda Metropolitano stadium.

Last April, Congress approved the Climate Amendment Law and with it the duty for the 149 Spanish cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants to set up low-emission zones in which the circulation of the foremost polluting vehicles is prohibited and, thus, improve air quality. Madrid and Barcelona were the pioneer cities in putting them into operation, but the Recovery Set up created by the Government desires to end up giving a lift to the initiative by putting on the table public resources with that to finance them. The municipalities have created 131 requests to demand a lot of than 146 million euros. If the plans are carried out as planned, the LEZs (Low Emission Zones) will occupy a total of 760.eight million square meters and affect a lot of than 5 million folks. A half of the 1.

Pending the distribution of those funds, the Ministry of Transport has already started the transfer of 1,151 million euros for the rehabilitation of homes, residential buildings and neighborhoods, in comes of the autonomous communities. This is the first tranche of the two,970 million euros licensed by the Government to finance the development of the roofs of buildings, the amendment of windows and therefore the reinforcement of the insulation that seeks to avoid wasting energy and scale back emissions linked to poor thermal insulation . Likewise, the transfer of another 1,410 million to the autonomous governments has been approved to decarbonize mobility, of which 947 million will arrive this year.
