Digital tools for cleaner, smarter urban mobility
Buenos Aires is testing practical tools that help optimise last-mile logistics, improve the use of loading and unloading spaces, and transform mobility data into evidence-based public policy.
Buenos Aires at a glance
The Autonomous City of Buenos Aires sits at the centre of one of Latin America's largest metropolitan areas. Its transport system connects buses, metro, rail, walking, cycling and shared mobility through a dense and active urban network. The city has already advanced important mobility innovations, including Metrobus corridors, the Ecobici bike-sharing system, digital ticketing through SUBE, and data tools for mobility analysis.
At the same time, Buenos Aires faces persistent congestion, fragmented metropolitan governance, rising e-commerce deliveries and growing pressure on urban logistics. Transport is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, making digitalisation an important pathway for cleaner mobility, better planning and more efficient operations.
A strong foundation for digital mobility
Buenos Aires offers a strong foundation for ACCESS because it combines existing digital mobility assets with urgent implementation needs. The city has experience with public transport data, smart mobility services and sustainable mobility planning, while also facing real operational challenges in last-mile logistics, loading space management and inclusive transport policy.
The ACCESS pilot package focuses on turning data into action — supporting cleaner freight operations, smarter use of curb space, and better public policy through mobility analytics. Together, these pilots demonstrate how digital tools can help cities move from isolated data sources to practical decisions that reduce emissions and improve everyday mobility.

Three complementary digital tools addressing logistics, curb management and mobility data for cleaner and more inclusive urban transport.
Pilot
Smarter delivery routes
Courier fleet tracking and dynamic routing to optimise last-mile logistics, reduce unnecessary kilometres and lower GHG emissions.
Digital tool
Digital curb management
Reservation and monitoring tool for designated loading and unloading spaces (blue boxes), reducing double-parking, cruising and idling.
Also active
Mobility data for better policy
Origin-destination matrix analysis using SUBE data and UrbanTrips to generate evidence for inclusive, gender-responsive transport policy.

Monitoring and expected results
Monitoring will track environmental, operational, social, gender, policy and governance results. Where baseline and target values are still being confirmed, indicators are labelled as "to be updated during pilot implementation."

Building fairer mobility outcomes
ACCESS integrates gender and inclusion across the Buenos Aires pilots. This includes gender-sensitive indicators, participatory design, training activities and measures to increase the participation of women and underrepresented groups in transport and logistics.
The data analysis pilot can also help identify accessibility gaps, safety concerns and mobility patterns that are not always visible in traditional planning processes. The goal is not only to make digital tools more effective, but also to ensure that they support fairer and more inclusive mobility outcomes.
