Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s)

Goal 11: Transport Target 11.2 By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons

UN-Habitat and SOLUTIONS project experience

UN-Habitat supports BRT planning in Nairobi, Kampala, Addis Ababa (SUSTRAN project) Preparing for continued urban growth now provides the opportunity to avoid mistakes made by other cities already further along in their development paths. Supporting the design and implementation of integrated sustainable transport projects in Addis Ababa, Kampala and Nairobi Strategic Response Upgrade transit systems - Introduce BRT Implement improved non-motorized transport infrastructure Integrate transport modes Apply travel demand management Reduce growth in private motorised vehicles

Public Transport Planning: Examples from East Africa Nairobi BRT Service Plan

Sustainable Urban Mobility — Better Design of Streets, Public Spaces and Integration with Mass Transit 1.Complete Street Designs; 2. More Friendly to Pedestrians; 3. Reduce the conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. Ramps to reduce vehicle speeds Pedestrians remain at the level of the footpath
