"The Deputy Mayor thanked the German side for supporting Tbilisi's sustainable transport policy. In particular, for assistance in the process of introducing smart transport systems, an important direction of the current reform. 47 million euros allocated within the framework of the project "Sustainable Urban Mobility" started in cooperation with the German Reconstruction Bank (KFW) will be used for the development of the relevant infrastructure and software system in order to organize traffic and improve air quality. This system will be introduced in several stages during the next 5 years", Andria Basilaia told the German journalists accompanying the delegation.
