Reflection on the urban transport theme papers
Establishment of a Transport Authority backed with robust legal and regulatory framework.
Integration of urban and transport planning through integrated designs, mandatory transport impact assessment procedures, land value capture mechanisms, etc.
Identifying a lead agency in government to guide national road safety efforts by setting standards and implementation at local level.
NMT plan should be part of the mass rapid transit design and not separate.
Reflection on the urban transport theme papers
The idea of all cities having a resourced Traffic
Management Unit can not be over emphasized.
The policy on motorcycle as a means of public transport should be restricted to the feeder routes.
The Bank should focus on more research and development to provide support for future land use planning and implementation of good public transport.
Conclusion Urban cities with intention to plan efficient and effective
transport system should have;
- Clear policies; - An integrated urban transport institution with statutory
powers; - Superior human, data and technical resources.
