Topic guide - Paratransit contracting options

This topic guide has been developed as part of a broader initiative offering light technical and advisory support.

Its primary focus is to assist the mobility authorities in Abidjan as they work on reforming their paratransit sector. While it incorporates various references to Abidjan's specific context, its content is applicable to other settings as well. The document's main purpose can be summed up in two key objectives: firstly, to outline the current characteristics of paratransit operations, which are often under consideration for reform, and secondly, to provide a comprehensive overview of different contracting options, complete with their associated benefits and challenges, for transportation authorities or any other entities responsible for managing mobility and the paratransit sector.
