Importance of Transport •
Economic: – Good transport provides a clear competitive edge providing;• Easy access • Low congestion costs • Good environment; so – Efficient transport facilitates economic growth, BUT – Congestion hinders business efficiency and impacts on regeneration
•
Environmental: – Efficient transport helps provide high quality of life and address climate change, BUT – Unmanaged transport causes air quality problems, noise and traffic accidents
•
Sustainable communities: – A good transport network enables equality of travel opportunity to all, BUT – Lack of transport provides a barrier to social inclusion particularly in areas of persistent social disadvantage and workless ness

Some Recent Trend in Indian Context • Some increase in population, esp. city centre • More employment but new demands for travel opportunity, and • Continuing problems of accessibility in areas of disadvantage and workless ness • Rising freight movement particularly to the port • Increase in car ownership and use, • leading to • Rise in congestion levels and poor air quality • Reduction in walking and bus use – health and obesity time bomb • Increase in rail use leading to some overcrowding

How to Manage the city centre of Metro like Delhi • • • • •
The heart of the city region Main business district should have easy access Main economic growth area Growing importance of tourism Air Quality Management Area – traffic levels largely responsible • Forecast 10% traffic growth to the metro in morning peak

How to manage Traffic in City Centre
•
Aim to provide high quality environment for all s of the city centre
– reduce traffic in core centre to reduce vehicle speeds – improving air quality for all – avoid fast through traffic to ensure a safe, friendly and historic city centre – improve access to all parts of the centre for all s - better signage and road layout 04/02/08

How to Manage •
Managing traffic growth relies on – Managing the road network – Designated freight routes – Managing parking demand – Planning and development control – Increase in quality of public transport – partnership with operators crucial – Promoting walking and cycling • Using Travel Wise to work with employers to promote travel plans for major businesses, health care sites and schools •
Developing links with key players like different Chambers of Commerce and industrial houses

Transport and Rural Poverty •
There are, however, good examples from Asia where Yao (2003) has documented the poverty reducing effects of rural roads in India and the People’s Republic of China. Xianbin Yao, Infrastructure and poverty reduction: Making Work for the Poor, May 2003, Asian Development Bank Bulletin
•
Markets
The elasticity estimates measure the percentage changes of the rural poverty incidence with respect to road infrastructure investments, working through different channels.

Findings The analysis of historic trends shows that road transport is the driving factor of transport demand (for enger and freight) from 1970 to 2000 in the industrial countries External costs of transport are high and mainly caused by road transport Policy for decoupling has to focus on instruments addressing impacts from road transport Taxes based on distance driven and the environmental performance of vehicles can encourage important modal shifts They generate revenue for developing more environmentally friendly modes
The internalisation of external costs of transport leads to a decrease of transport activities and to a further reduction of externalities Policies for decoupling need to combine a package of instruments including economic instruments and regulations 04/02/08
