Importance of Transportation
•Economic growth and transportation positively co-
related
• Transportation leverages
-- Development – Economic, social, cultural , physical,
industrial growth.
• -- bridges gap between demand / supply of goods/
services
- -- links area of production and consumption
- National /Regional integration
- Standard of living in undeveloped areas
--- knowledge, learning ,improved trade and culture
- Concentration of population
- Economy and employment opportunities
- Better education/healthcare amenities

Importance of Transportation
Transportation;
--- Helps poor to make better earning
- Promotes Safety, law and order
-Improves balanced development - country/Rural areas by
-----Promoting growth of agriculture/supply of agricultural
- -- marketing agricultural produce in nearby markets,
- -- increasing employment,
- -- promoting rural industries,
- -- diversification of agriculture,
• Inadequate transportation-
• - adversely impacts economic/ social growth.
• -- hampers safe, economical ,speedier/ efficient
movement of goods/ service
5.
Cities promoting largetravel due to:
Concentration of large population.
Concentration of large number of
activities.
Increasing size of cities.
Increasing travel demand.
Increased travel distance.
Increased use of personal vehicles. .
Travel demand in cities rising rapidly due to:
Increasing income level.
Higher car ownership.
Travel becoming a habit.
-increased distances
--Considering multiple impacts of travel –
essential to minimize travel
--to make cities more livable and sustainable
Transport& Urbanization-
• Traffic -Travelworst gifts of Urbanization
•Mismatch between vehicle population and
road capacity
•In last 53 years
•--,motor vehicle population recorded
-CAGR growth of 10.9%
- compared to 3.6% in road length with
National Highways increasing merely by 2.3%.
•Travel becoming more expensive for poor
with elimination of pedestrians / bicycles
•2016 Report--Travel becoming risky with
•--4.8 lakh Road accidents/ 1.51 lakh deaths -
•Every hourin road accidents
• - 17 deaths
•-- in 55 accidents
• major causalities- cyclists/pedestrians/
pavement dwellers
•Vehicular congestion/traffic jams becoming
order of day

• inefficient/ inadequate public
transportation;
•low priority for traffic planning; ;
•Low priority to bicycles / pedestrians
• poor traffic management;
• mismatch between vehicle density and
road capacity;
•multiplicity of agencies involved
• absence of unified traffic regulatory
authority;

Principles in SustainableTransport Planning
• Promoting Accessibility and not mobility
• Planning for people not for vehicles
• Moving people, not cars
• Keeping space for walking and pedalled vehicles
• Reducing travel demand- Re-ordering landuse planning
• Create shared work centres within residential complexes
• Rationalising planning for
• -- making cities compact – reducing distances
• -Create self-contained communities
• - Promote flatted development rather than plotted development
• Promote multiple use of land
• --responding to climate change
• -- Adopting human scale for planning residential units

8 Principles oftransportation to
make cities great
8 Principles for Better Streets and Better Cities
• WALK -- Develop neighbourhoods that promote walking
• CYCLE -Prioritize non-motorized transport networks
• CONNECT -Create dense networks of streets and paths
• TRANSIT - Locate development near high-quality public
transport
• MIX -- Plan for mixed land use
• DENSIFY -- Optimize density and transit capacity
• COMPACT - Create regions with short commutes
• SHIFT - Increase mobility by regulating parking and road use
Defining Sustainable Transport
•Sustainable Transport --
• -- sometimes known as Green Transport
• -- form of transport that does not use / rely
on dwindling natural resources.
• -- relies on renewable /regenerated energy
• -- rather than fossil fuels that have a finite life
expectancy
Compact City- advantages
•Compact city– best option to rationalize travel /
promote sustainable transport because it-
• Minimizes distance between place of work /living/amenities
• Reduces demand for personalized vehicles
• Reduces Congestion
• Reduces environmental pollution
• --Improves road safety
• --Promotes pedestrianisation & cycling
• --Makes mass transportation effective
• --optimizes land use due to lower area under roads/parking
• -- makes available large open spaces
• -Makes city development cost-effective- less roads etc
31.
PLANNING COMPACT CITIES-
options
Makecities compact by;
. – promoting High-density development
-- adopting Transit oriented development
-Promoting flatted rather than plotted development
-- Raising Height and
-Rationalizing land uses and Building bye-laws
-Building inside not outside
--- Building vertical not horizontal
--- Building High not low
--- Building mix not pure
---Building dense not shallow
---Building accessibility not mobility
-- Building for people not for vehicles

TIANJIN- Master Plan
..
1.Land-use Planning -planned to be compact, with a good mix of land uses and
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) principles.
2. Transport Planning -Green transport .--to increase trips via public
transport and non-motorised modes of transport --- via bicycles and walking,
within Eco-city.
3. Green and Blue Network Planning---City planned with extensive green
(vegetation) and blue (water) networks to provide quality living /working
environment. The green network comprises a green lung at core and eco-corridors
emanating from the lung to the other parts of city.
4. Water bodies linked for water circulation to enhance ecology ,provide attractive
environment , recreational activities.
5. A wastewater pond rehabilitated /transformed into a clean/beautiful lake.
6. Master Plan can be summed as- 1 axis-3 centres-4 districts

•Promoting use ofBicycle as
preferred mode of travel for majority
of intra- city travel being :
Most inexpensive
Most flexible
Environmental friendly
Minimum air/noise pollution
Zero Energy Vehicle
Occupying minimum road space
Easy Parking /easy maneurverability
Reducing congestion
Least financial cost to user/society
Promoting National Economy
Promoting better Human Health
Reducing depletion of Non-renewable
resources
Best option for travelling over short
distance.
SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION- CYCLING
Public Transport- advantages
•Public transportation -- solution to the nation’s:
• economic,
• energy, and
• environmental challenges
• helping to bring a better quality of life.
• increasing numbers/ people using public transportation
and local communities -- expanding public transit
services.
• Every segment of society –
• individuals,
• families,
• communities and
• businesses –
• benefits from public transportation.

National Urban TransportPolicy
Public transport scores over other mechanized modes in terms of
--space,
--pollution and
--sustainability–
Making public transport
-- best option for urban mobility
• --State capitals / Metro cities –
• --to start planning for high capacity public transport system
• -- look at proven global technologies
-- prepare comprehensive plans–
-- integrating personal /private modes of travel
-- to improve higher ridership
efficient urban transportation networks.-- accommodates
20 times passengers than private cars on same road space;
42.
Mass Transport- Energyconsumption
In terms of energy consumption-- public transportation
better than individual / personal vehicle.
• In England-- As of 2006–2007,
• -- energy cost of London's trains was 15 kWh per 100
p-km, -- 5 times better than a personal car.
• Buses in London-- 32 kWh per 100 p-km, or about 2.5
times of a personal car-
• in Japan in 1999
• - 68 kWh per 100 p-km for a personal car- 75Kwh UK
• 19 kWh per 100 p-km for a bus,-- 32 Kwh- UK
• --6 kWh per 100 p-km for rail,- 15 Kwh
