Road Space Allocation
Allocate road space equitably. Plan for people. Not vehicles. Take buses out of congestion.
More people use bus, walk and cycle. But cars and two-wheelers dominate the road space

In Brief
Free vehicles + free fuel a deadly combination against non motorised transport
Understanding of Structural Issues No Act regarding Pedestrian safety/ Pedestrian infrastructure Planning Commission definition of infrastructure does not seem to
include pedestrian infrastructure Parking Facilities?? Responsibility of Footpaths and Pedestrians as part of Traffic

Question to be addressedWhat’s In It for Me?
How am I going to benefit if footpaths and pedestrians crossings are better or people prefer to walk?

New Markets
Marketing / Branding Walking Walking as a Choice Use of Technology in Creating Awareness : (quantify
carbon footprint reduction, pollution effect) Lancet Study: “To estimate how different transport patterns would affect health, the
analysis considers four alternative 2030 futures for London (an example of a large city in a highly motorised country) and for Delhi (an example of one in a rapidly motorising country). The results show that technological measures such as hybrid cars will make only minor inroads into the burden of disease from transport. Major public health benefits will depend on the introduction of policies that combine reduced motor vehicle use, more walking and cycling, and low-carbon-emission motor vehicles.” (Reference: The health benefits of tackling climate change An Executive Summary for The Lancet Series)
