This study aimed to design the geometric and structural system for a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System in Trujillo, seeking to improve vehicular flow. The research was non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive, evaluating the situation at a specific time by directly observing the city's roads. A vehicle count was performed at six key stations located at strategic points (Av. América Sur - UPAO, Av. Mansiche - Mall Plaza, Av. Nicolás de Piérola - Makro, Av. América Norte - Mercado La Hermelinda, Av. América Sur - Maestro and Panamericana Norte - Terrapuerto de Trujillo). The results showed an IMDS of 3240 vehicles/day, which, after adjustments, became an IMDA of 3316 vehicles/day. For the structural design, 26 test pits were made along the proposed route; their laboratory analyses allowed for determining the appropriate parameters for flexible, rigid, and articulated pavement. The geometric design contemplated an extension of 26.4 km on flat terrain, with a cross-section of 29.40 m, consisting of two 4-lane roadways each and a central separator. In addition, the project included a physical-architectural design that includes two terminals with maintenance yards, 26 surface stations, two underground stations, exclusive lanes, road interchanges, and feeder routes to connect nearby districts. As a complement, a cycle path was integrated with cycle parks and ""Park & Ride"" areas in the terminals and pedestrian crossings at level and underground to facilitate station access. A 3D model was also developed to visualize the urban environment. Finally, a microsimulation in PTV Vissim showed the positive impact of the BRT system in reducing traffic congestion. In conclusion, the proposed BRT system is a viable solution for improving Trujillo's mobility
