Abstract

Este documento presenta los resultados de una evaluación de impacto del programa de subsidios de transporte escolar implementado por la Secretaría de Educación de la ciudad de Medellín: subsidio del 50% en rutas de buses urbanos, subsidio del 50% en el tiquete para el sistema Metro (Metro, Metroplús, Metrocable y Tranvía), y 100% en transporte escolar contratado. Para ello, se utilizan dos modelos econométricos que permiten estimar el impacto de dichos subsidios sobre la elección en la calidad de la institución educativa (educación primaria y secundaria) seleccionada por el hogar beneficiario. Los resultados de este estudio contribuyen a la agenda de conocimiento impulsada por el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID), generando evidencia empírica sobre las políticas de transporte que contribuyen a objetivos de inclusión social y económica. Los hallazgos se alinean además con las prioridades establecidas en la Visión 2025 del BID: Reinvertir en las Américas, en cuanto contribuyen a avanzar hacia la implementación de sistemas de movilidad asequibles, eficientes y sostenibles, que mejoren el acceso de la población de bajos ingresos a servicios de educación.
