Modernized Rural Mobility with MĂ IMPLIC Support in Călărași, Tuzara, and Nișcani
Three mayoralties in the Călărași district – Călărași, Tuzara, and Nișcani – are jointly developing a common public transport service that will serve over 11,000 residents. This initiative directly addresses the lack of functional road connections between villages and the town, particularly impacting children’s access to education and adults’ access to work, services, and medical care.
With the support provided through the MĂ IMPLIC project – a civic engagement project in local governance funded by the Government of Switzerland – the three mayoralties are implementing a well-structured plan that includes:
- Establishing routes and schedules adapted to the real needs of the residents.
- Acquiring four buses or minibuses to ensure regular trips between localities.
- Arranging waiting stations and installing necessary signage for passenger information.
- Creating a local system for coordinating and managing the public transport service.
🤝 Public consultations organized at the local level formed the basis of the planning and confirmed citizens’ support for this idea. This is the first model of its kind supported by the MĂ IMPLIC project and has the potential to become a replicable best practice in other rural regions of Moldova.
“We want a service that operates consistently, throughout the year, so that people no longer have to depend on luck or chance to get where they need to go,” stated one of the mayors during the consultations.
Through this inter-community collaboration, the localities are not only improving people’s daily mobility but also actively contributing to the modernization of public services in rural areas.
The interventions take place within the MĂ IMPLIC Project, a civic engagement program in local governance, funded by the Government of Switzerland and implemented by Skat Consulting Ltd.
📌 We remind you that 14 groups of local public authorities (LPAs) from Moldova will benefit from stronger local governance and improved access to quality public services, thanks to the support of the MĂ IMPLIC Project, funded by the Government of Switzerland and implemented by Skat Consulting.
The main objective of the MĂ IMPLIC Project is to contribute to the strengthening of local governance and to increase people’s access to better public services. The project provides support to local authorities and citizens in improving local administration, strategic planning, and the delivery of public services.
This initiative will bring direct benefits to approximately 106,000 citizens from the partner communities.
