Bahia VLT infrastructure expansion proposals

Overview

In Bahia, Brazil, officials have proposed various Light Rail Vehicle (VLT) expansion projects to improve urban mobility and economic integration.

In the Salvador metropolitan region, Governor Jerônimo Rodrigues proposed expanding the VLT system from Salvador to Camaçari. This initiative, planned in partnership with President Lula, aims to connect the capital to surrounding areas to facilitate access to the labor market and services. The broader mobility strategy also includes metro expansions and the construction of the Salvador-Itaparica Bridge.

In southern Bahia, the Mayor of Itabuna, Augusto Castro, has advocated for a separate VLT link to connect Itabuna and Ilhéus. A preliminary study suggests a 23-kilometer rail line designed to address anticipated urban growth and reduce travel times between the two cities, complementing existing road connections.
