Actionable Excerpts fromNational Urban Transport Policy

(Ministry of Urban Devolvement, Government of India)

Introduction

Indias urban population is currently around 30% of its total population. Experienceacross the world has been that as economies grow, rapid urbanization takes thisproportion over 60 % before they stabilize. As such it is projected that Indias urbanpopulation will grow to about 473 million in 2021 & 820 million in 2051 as comparedto 285 million in 2001. Hence cities must not only meet the mobility needs of thecurrent population but also provide for the needs of those yet to join the urbanpopulation. In this context, the government of India has launched the National UrbanRenewal Mission (NURM) that inter-alia seeks to bring about comprehensiveimprovements in urban infrastructure, committing substantial funds for this purposeand requiring a series of reforms that would make the investment sustainable. (Para2, page2)

Billons of men hours are lost with people stuck in traffic. The primary reason for thishas been the explosive growth in the number of motors vehicles, coupled withlimitations on the amount of road space that can be provided. For example, on anaverage, while the population of Indias six major metropolises increased by about1.9 times during 1981 to 2001, the number of motor vehicles went up by over 7.75times during the same period.

Increased use of personal vehicles has led to increased air pollution. (Para 3, page 2)

Unless the above problems are remedied, poor mobility can become a major dampenerto economic growth and the cause the quality of life to deteriorate. A policy is, therefore,needed on the approach to dealing with this rapidly growing problem as also offer aclear direction and a clear framework for the future action. (Para 4, page 3)

Objectives

The Objective of this policy is to ensure safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliableand sustainable access for the growing of city residents to jobs.

Incorporating urban transportation as an important parameter at the urbanplanning stage rather than being a consequent

Bringing about a more equitable allocation of road space with people, ratherthan vehicles, as its main focus.

Establishing effective regularly and enforcement mechanisms that allow a levelplaying field for all operators of transport services and enhanced safety for thetransport system users.

Establishing institutional mechanisms for enhanced coordination in the planningand management of transport system.

Building capacity (institutional and manpower) to plan for sustainable urbantransport and establishing knowledge management system that would servicethe needs of all urban professionals, such as planners, researchers, teachers,

students, Raising finance, through innovative mechanisms that tap land as a resource,

for investments in urban transport infrastructure.

Taking up pilot projects that demonstrate the potential of possible best practicesin sustainable urban transport. (Para 5, page4)

Equitable allocation of Road Space

Transport planning is intrinsically linked to land use planning and both need tobe developed together in a manner that servers the entire population and yet minimizestravel needs. (Para 8, page5)

At present, road space gets allotted to whichever vehicle occupies it first. Thefocus is therefore, the vehicle and not people. The result is that a bus carrying 40people is allotted only two and a half times the road space that is allotted to a carcarrying only one or two person. In this process, the lower income groups have,effectively, ended up paying, in terms of higher travel time and higher travel cost, forthe disproportionate space allotted to personal vehicles. Users of non-motorizedmodes have tended to be squeezed out of the roads on account of serious threats to

their safety. If the focus of the principle of the road space allocation were to be thepeople, then much space would need to be allotted to public transport systems thanis allotted at present. (Para11, page6)

The Central Government would, therefore, encourage measures thatallocate road space on a more equitable basis, with people as its focus. Thiscan be achieved by reserving lanes and corridors exclusively for public transportand non-motorized three persons popularly know as High Occupancy VehicleLanes). Past experience has been that such reserved lanes are not respectedby motorist and therefore lose meaning. In order to facilitate better enforcementof such lane discipline, suitable provision would be introduced in the Motor

Vehicle Act and other instrumentalities to enable stringent penalties for violation.(Para 12, page 6)

Need to Shift from Personal to Public Transportation andSegmented Approach.

Public transport serves another social purpose. It helps reduce congestion andthe air pollution, if users of personal vehicles can be persuaded to shift to publictransport. Their needs are, however, for improved quality and not much for low fares.It is, therefore necessary to think of different types of public transport services fordifferent segments of commuters. (Para16, page7)

A good public transport system is the one that is perceived by the user as asingle and allows seamless travel between one made and the other as also betweensystems managed by different operators. Such seamless interchange is possible ifproper inter-change infrastructure is available and users are able to use single ticketover all such system. This also requires that a single agency takes responsibility forcoordination so that there is a common approach to public transport planning andmanagement. (Para 21, page9)

Para transit is normally expected to fulfill a need that neither public transport orpersonal vehicles are able to fulfill. (Para26, page10)

The segregation of vehicles moving at different speeds would help improvetraffic flow, increase the average speed of traffic and reduce emission resultingfrom sub-optimal speeds. (Para27, page10)

Parking, Land Use and its Pricing.

Land is valuable in all urban areas. Parking places occupy large portion of suchlands. This fact should be recognized in the determining the principles for allocationof parking space.

Levy of a high parking fee, that truly represents the value of the land occupied,should be used as a means to make the use of public transport more attractive.Preference in the allocation of parking space for public transport vehicles and non-motorized modes as well as easier access of work places to and from such spaceswould go a long way in encouraging the use of sustainable transport system. Parkand ride facilities for bicycles users, with convenient inter-change, would be anotheruseful measure. Simultaneously, a graded scale of parking fee, that recovers theeconomies cost of the land used in such parking, should be adopted. The objectivewould be to persuade people to use transport to reach centers.

State government would be required to amend building bye laws in allmillion plus cities so that adequate parking space is available for all residents/users of such buildings. (Para34, page 11)

Freight Traffic within the cities.

The timely and smooth movement of freight is crucial to well being of the peopleand the viability of the economics activities they undertake. However, with limitedcapacity of the transport system, it is essential that freight traffic and passengertraffic are so staggered as to make optimum use of the transport infrastructure. It isa time honored and tested practice to use off-peak passenger travel times to movefreight. Many cities have earmarked late night hours for movement of freight andrestricted the entry of heavy vehicles into cities during daytime.(Para 36, page 12)

Innovative Financing Mechanisms Using Land as a Resource

The central government would encourage the levy of dedicated taxes tobe credited to an urban transport fund and used exclusively to meet urbantransport needs within the state. Such dedicated taxes could be in the form of asupplement to the petrol and diesel taxes, betterment levy on landowners or even anemployment tax on employers. In fact, revenues from betterment levy along new highcapacity public transport corridors would be included as a component of the financingplan for such transport systems. (Para52, page 15)

Need for Public Awareness and Cooperation

Urban transport policies cannot succeed without the fullest corporation of allthe city residents. Such co-operation can be best secured if the objectives are madeclearly known to them. It is, therefore, necessary to launch intensive awarenesscampaigns that educate people on the ill effects of the growing transport problem inurban areas-especially on their health and well being. The campaigns would seektheir support for initiative like greater use of public transport and non-motorizedvehicles, the proper maintenance of their vehicles, safer driving practices, and etc.such campaigns would also encourage individual, families an communities to adopt

Green Travel Habits that would make travel less polluting and damaging. (Para55,page 16)
