SustainableSustainable urban urban transporttransport: : TheThe ideaidea and and principlesprinciples
#1: Access The City should be designed for people, not cars. It should be at least as convenient to live in a city without a personal motor vehicle as with one.
#2: Equity Highest priority should go to public transport, walking and non-motorised vehicles that are accessible to almost everyone and have low impacts.
#3: Pollution prevention
#4: Health and safety
#5: Public participation and transparency It is important that the public begiven adequateand appropriate support and information about alternatives.
#6: Integrated planning
#7: Economy and low cost Users of cars and motorcyles should be charged forthe full economic,environmental and social costs of their transportation.
Integrated approach within a comprehensive policy framework:Public transport; Non-motorised transport; Technical measures; Application of fiscal instruments; Institutional reform and public participation.
Approaches in developing citiesApproaches in developing cities
• Focus on measures open to rapid implementation by the local govt., with limited reliance on foreign help.‘Win-win’measures provide incentives for implementation
• ‘Least cost principle’ considering how to maximise mobility at the lowest cost, including demand management options
• Work with a range of stakeholders & partners
• Find the key interested stakeholders and work with them. With a modest financial outlay it is possible to generate awareness
• Work with the city level: Government, NGOs, universities, civil society,
• Cooperate with other organisations, national, international levels
