Project Description

Sibiu has been selected as Cultural Capital of Europe for 2007 and is seeking to rehabilitate key aspects of its infrastructure, including:

rehabilitation of a rail/bus/road interchange (Station Square)
rehabilitation of selected city streets
public lighting in the Historic Zone.

A further component of the proposed project will entail commercialisation and involvement of the private sector in Sibiu’s public transport company.

Transition Impact

The Project will help the City to prepare for EU Accession by building up capacity to prepare and implement major infrastructure projects. It will also improve the performance of the public transport system through increased commercialisation of the public transport company.

This will include implementation of a multi-year public service contract between the City and the public transport company as well as the involvement of the private sector, as appropriate.

The terms of a public service contract are expected to include

(a) a transparent multi-year payment for service

(b) utilising targets and incentives to increase efficiency
