Many cities have \u201cmodernized\u201d the informal sector by using BRT as a technical and governance restructuring tool, but outcomes from decades of experience have been mixed, and reforms often come at a substantial cost. This webinar will discuss alternative approaches to large-scale reform, including improvements to semiformal services through mapping, digitization, driver training and other strategies. Improving access for all residents means investing in informal services and infrastructure too \u2013 and integrating them with the formal ones when feasible.<\/p>\n<p>The webinar is co-hosted with IDB and the GEF.
