MOBILITY FOR ALL
Shreya Gadepalli Regional Director

3. Promoting sustainable and equitable transportation worldwide
The Institute for Transportation and Development Policy is a global non-profit organisation that works with cities worldwide to bring about environmentally sustainable and socially equitable transport solutions that reduce pollution, alleviate poverty and enhance quality of urban life.
ITDP helps transform existing cities into ‘smart cities’ through prudent investments in:
walking, cycling and public transport;
development of cities around public transport network; and
reduction in dependence on private motor vehicles (a mode that makes cities unhealthy and unsafe).

16. The alternatives before Ranchi
In status quo,
Personal motor vehicle trips will quadruple.
Pollution will increase. Street fatalities will increase.
Movement will come to a standstill.

17. KEY RECOMMENDATOINS…

18. Footpaths and safe street crossings:
Walking is the most fundamental mode of mobility. Everybody except the physically weaker or handicapped people can walk. Wheelchair accessible footpaths can satisfy mobility needs of such people to a large extent.
Cycling facilities:
Cycles provide pollution free and healthy mobility. They are the most energy efficient mode of transport. They are accessible to people of all ages, including children, and are a key means of transport for the economically weaker sections.
Public transportation:
If accessible, it addresses mobility needs of physically handicapped also. Free or subsidized travel can address mobility of poor people.
Intermediate public transport:
Taxis, auto-rickshaws & cycle rickshaws fulfill important needs of a city’s transport system by providing point to point mobility when needed urgently. They also provide last mile connectivity for public transport trips, extending the catchment area of public transport service.

Parking, especially in high demand areas, should be regulated and charged
Parking fee should reflect the cost of the land it occupies.
On-street parking should be more expensive than off-street parking.
Parking fee payment and enforcement should be electronic to control wrong- parking and revenue leakage.

“Build Metro with Buses!!!”
New bus designs are transforming how we view buses. These high-quality, buses that resemble rail cars are going into new Bus Rapid Transit systems in North America and Europe. Such designs have generated a new slogan amongst city officials: “Think rail, but use buses”.
Public transport of the future 44

45. Public transportation: What we need
Multi-modal integration
Short, direct walking paths for transferring passengers, Minimal level differences, Adequate clear space to prevent bottlenecks, Protection from sun and rain, Public information

46. Interface like Metro/LRT | Safe | Fast
Step-less entry into bus| Accessible for all

47. High quality stations | Real-time information
Smart fare collection at stations | Dependable

48. High quality public transport for everyone,
not just for those with lower incomes.

50. Can we just expand the roads?
Existing conditions
3-lane carriageway
Status quo scenario
2 lanes + elevated road
Cost: ₹ cr./km
Capacity: 1.5 times
Even if all main roads have elevated corridors on top, they will be full in five years!

51. A better alternative Cost: ₹15 cr./km Capacity: 10 times
Existing conditions
3-lane carriageway
Sustainable scenario
2-lanes + 1 lane metro-bus
Cost: ₹15 cr./km
Capacity: 10 times
BRT can accommodate not only demand but also take care of future growth for many decades

52. Buses carry more across the world

62. Next steps…
Establish an SPV: Creating an empowered urban transport implementing agency is a key step toward ensuring rapid and effective implementation of public transport and other initiatives.
Begin on-street parking management and enforcement: A robust on-street parking management system will support NMT improvements and public transport operations by ensuring that carriageways, footpaths, and cycle tracks remain free of encroachment by parked vehicles and providing critical funding for sustainable transport initiatives.
Seek funding for DPRs: Government of Jharkhand/RMC should initiate the process of preparing DPRs for specific projects and identifying funding sources.
