AFRICAN CITIES”

OVERVIEW

Background Cities are expanding at unprecedented rates and facing: • Sustained population growth • Rapid motorization rates • Rapidly worsening traffic congestion • Decreasing accessibility and increasing health problems • By 2030, the population living in urban areas in East Africa will increase from 7.5% of

the average annual population (1950 to 2000) to 22.6% (2000 – 2030).

East-African countries developing and implementing urban transport

policies for creating socially‐equitable and environmentally‐sound

urban transport systems.

In the three capital cities of Ethiopia, Uganda, and Kenya:

Strategic Response

Upgrade transit systems

Implement improved non-motorized transport

infrastructure

Apply travel demand management

vehicles

Project Aim:

Reduce traffic congestion &

pollution

This is an iterative process. The operational plan

gets developed, then it is checked by the business

plan and infrastructure. Issues and problems will

arise and they will be taken back to the operational

plan to modify.

Operational Plan Answers the following questions based on calibrated demand model

• How many passengers?

• What are the trunk routes?

• What are the feeder routes?

• How many buses and what capacity?

• At what frequency?

• Where are the stations, terminals, and depots?

• Estimated costs

• Estimated revenues

• What existing transit routes need to be removed or restructured?

Infrastructure Plan • Detailed engineering and design, geometric

• Implementation Plan (traffic management and mitigation, etc.)

• Environmental and Social Impact Assessments

• Construction contracts awarded and supervised

Business Plan: Goals (1) • Maximize the quality of the service over the long term

• Minimize the cost of the service over the long term

• Maximize the level of private sector investment over the long term

• Maximize the public benefit from the public investment

The BRTS give priority to public transportation over private and

must serve to offer an opportunity to the traditional transporters

to modernize their industry as well as to improve the working

conditions of the drivers.

•Making investment environment attractive for private investment

• Determining for the government the fees to pay the private sector

• Creating a financially viable system with no subsidy

Other Components to BRT Planning

• Institutional Structure

• Industry Reform and Engagement

• Marketing and Communications

• Economic Development Plan

Aim of the Matatu Industry Transition • Creation of internationally competitive and

profitable companies composed of impacted former matatu operators

• Created in time to operate the service • Performance based contracting • Adverse impacts to taxi operators • minimized • Violence is mitigated
