      From the Planning Department - The Government of the Federal District (GDF) intends to invest approximately R$ 4,9 billion in the Federal District's Structuring Projects in 2014. Among the main planned works are the implementation of the public transport corridors on the Southwest and North axes, the Light Rail Vehicle (VLT) and the acquisition of trains; the implementation of the Light Rail Vehicle on Tires South Axis (VLP) and the execution of urbanization works.

      The Structuring Projects foresee improvements in the infrastructure of the Federal District and are part of a list that receives special attention from the Budget Execution Board (JEO). These are investments considered a priority by the government and have greater budgetary flexibility, which generates more agility in the application of resources.

      For the implementation of the public transport corridors on the Southwest axis, R$ 212 million is planned for 2014, and for the North axis approximately R$ 190,9 million. For urbanization works, the reserved amount of resources is R$ 202,3 million.

      Other actions planned as part of the set of structuring projects for 2014 include: the construction and renovation of sports courts, the construction, expansion and renovation of basic health units, the implementation of Emergency Care Units (UPAs), the implementation of bike paths, the renovation of educational units, the revitalization of the Buriti Annex, among others.

      The Undersecretary of Public Budget, from the Planning Secretariat, Caio Abbott, highlights the record investments estimated for next year. "For 2014, the government intends to increase the volume of resources involved in the execution of new projects. For the first time, the budget allocated to investments exceeds the forecast for operating expenses," Abbott explained.

      In 2013, approximately R$ 3,26 billion was allocated to Structuring Projects. These are managed by the Budget Execution Board (JEO), which is chaired by the governor of the Federal District and composed of the Civil House and the Secretaries of Finance and Planning.
