The Projects for the Development of the State of Rio de Janeiro
Areas such as infrastructure, health, education, culture, the environment, and public safety will be contemplated, with the latter including the expansion of the Present Security Program and increased police presence on the roads. The projects, which aim for the social and economic recovery of the state of Rio de Janeiro, with actions in all 92 municipalities, also benefit investments in technology and programs for the protection of the elderly and women.
The resources from the Plan, called “Pacto RJ,” will come from the state budget and from the auction of Cedae – State Company of Water and Sewage – held in April. The expectation is that the actions will generate more than 150,000 direct and indirect jobs. Among the works are a surface metro line in Baixada Fluminense; recovery of the Alemão Cable Car in the North Zone of Rio; and construction of an exclusive bus corridor in São Gonçalo in the Metropolitan Region.

The Program Aims at Economic Growth, Job Creation, and Combating Poverty
Governor of Rio de Janeiro, Cláudio Castro, says that “After many promises throughout history to treat the interior with respect, this government demonstrates in actions that our interior is being very respected and valued. We are taking a giant step to finalize the unification of the State of Rio with the State of Guanabara, which honestly never ended because the interior has always been left behind.”
Announced before the elections for governor of Rio de Janeiro, in which Castro is also one of the candidates, the Pacto RJ program plans a tripod structure aiming to generate economic growth, job creation, and combating poverty.
