Road Space for users
• Equity in road space iseasy to talk about buthard to enforce
• If you ever noticed thefootpath. Does it evenexist?
• Walkers outnumberpeople using vehicles inevery Indian city.
• Do city plans havespace for pedestrians ?do urban roads ?

India’s cities have expanded rapidlyover the last few decades and arelikely to grow faster in the future.Urban India is expected to contribute70 per cent of India’s GDP by 2030.
Growth in last 3 decades
• Population 2.4 times
• Vehicles 26 times
• Number of Traffic fatalities 5 times
But not many institutions to think on howcities and transportation can go in anorganic and integrated fashion.

What about Mobility of Majority Road users ?

Who can be considered as NMT user
The majority of trips in Indian cities are done on foot
I am and if you get offof your vehicles atany point of yourjourney beforereaching yourdestination, you aretoo
Who can be considered as NMT User
using cycles
Who can be considered as NMT User
Public transport
Need to look at NMT with Public Transport
EVERY PEDESTRIAN IS A POTENTIAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT USER `
However our cities face challenges
Accessibility to Public transport Comfort
Weather Safety for life
Accessibility: reaching public transport station
Improving the NMT environment improves walking distance for Public transport users
NMT :last mile connectivity for Public Transport
Improvements to walking conditions help reaching more population foreach available public transport station
With improved walkingconditions, people are willingto walk longer to reach aPublic Transport Station,thus extending the last mileconnectivity
Comfort
Why cant cities design facilitate such facilities? Comfort during change in mode
?
Indian weather : How comfortable is NMT
Comfort :Cycling in Scorching Heat
Safety :Access to public transport
think about the differently abled, can they safely use our infrastructure?
who would walk here?
Safety: Bus Stands
NMT users account for over half of all roadfatalities in metro cities
•
Aspiration for private motorised vehicles
While NMT still continues to be:
• Unsafe• Issues of Last mile connectivity• No priority in road space• Absence of basic Infrastructure• Prone to extreme weather
Motorised Vehicles Provides better regulatedcomfort in terms of :• Safety• Weather extremes• Flexibility• Road Space Priority & infrastructure• End to End Connectivity
Aspiration
No doubt .. NMT is not considered to be a mode of choice
Issues are known to all but few acted
Existing opportunity to act for Indian cities

• EcoMobility is“..about creating cities where a shorttrip can be fulfilled without using amotorised mode.
EcoMobility aims to create cities wherethe air is clean and the road is shared bybicycles, pedestrians, buses and cars in asafe and environmentally friendly way.EcoMobility creates cities that do notdiscriminate its people based on theirage, social status or means of transport”

Shift towards EcoMobility
Ecomobile city = liveable city
* Provided small electric city carspowered by renewables are used
• Time to act!
