The signaling investment is 70% complete (physical measure, as of October 2013). When finished, this investment is expected to relieve congestion on the railway lines to/from Mersin port so that more of the port Public Disclosure Copy traffic maybe handled by rail rather than road. This supports the Government's goal to shift traffic from road to rail, reducing road congestion, demand for additional road infrastructure and GHG emissions. The investment will benefit the railway financially by attracting freight traffic and improving network density. Staff Adjustment This component financed the end-of-employment, lump sum payments for retirement of 1,596 TCDD staff. All retirements were voluntary, involving no layoffs. The component was completed in 2009. Advisory Services to TCDD Under this component studies have been successfully completed on (a) Internal Financial Controls Risk Assessment, (b) Freight Marketing, (c) Rationalization of Passenger Services and Public Service Obligation (PSO), and (d) maintenance practices. The component has supported the TCDD Financial Audit for 2009 - 2012. TCDD has also carried out pilots supporting reforms on public service contract and infrastructure charging. TCDD Staff Training Under this component training has been successfully completed on (a) non-destructive testing, (b) project management, (c) how to deliver on-line, computer based training, and (d) training of trainers. TCDD Public Communications and Periodic Surveys Under this component three surveys of customers and stakeholders have been carried out. Project Restructuring The project was restructured in 2009 to focus it on the reforms and achievements that could be realized within Turkey’s existing legal framework for railways, pending passage of a new railway law. The project development objective and the results indicators were changed in this restructuring. The project was restructured again in 2011 to address land acquisition and building renovation activities that trigger Bank policies on involuntary resettlement (OP/BP 4.12) and physical cultural resources (OP/BP 4.11). The project was restructured in June 2012 to extend the project closing date until December 31, 2013.
