Actualización y revisión del Plan Maestro de Transporte Intermodal (2015-2035) y del Plan Maestro Fluvial, así como, el desarrollo de la propuesta de la estructura institucional del modo férreo en Colombia, de conformidad con las operaciones autorizadas a la financiera

Abstract

The practices and public institutions to manage the railway mode in Colombia have been 'transplanted' from those of other modes, especially the road mode. Due to the demands on cargo volumes and weights, which tend to arise, difficult to foresee in sizes and locations, at the initiative of a small group of actors, and also due to the need to have high intercity passenger traffic to justify the change from road mode to railway mode, investment needs in track, trains, stations, storage and maintenance facilities, demands for curves and slopes in the layouts, and the need for technical and safety standards, among other factors, an approximation is required set to mode. The country must have a public protocol for prior, visible and permanent coordination between the public and private sectors on the national railway policy, which deals with the supply of cargo and investments in the CAPEX of railways, and the contracting policy and the availability of operators.
