The aim of NESTLAC is to disseminate, promote and facilitate the implementation of Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) options in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Network will promote the switch from private cars to public and non-motorised transport, leading thereby to reductions of both local and global emissions from the sector. NESTLAC will serve as the mechanism through which all the necessary activities to disseminate, promote and facilitate the implementation of EST options will be carried out.

Initial members of NESTLAC are the Environmental Authority of Panama (ANAM), the Transit and Road Transport Authority of Panama (ATTT), the Chilean Inter-ministerial Secretariat for Planning and Transport (SECTRA), the Municipality of Guatemala City, the Transit and Transport Authority of El Salvador, the Vice-Ministry of Transport of El Salvador, Transmilenio S.A. of Bogotá, the Trolley-bus System of Quito and URC.

NESTLAC is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and URC.
