UTTIPEC proposes revisions to Delhi's parking code to address issues of inequitable land use and induced car demand. The current parking situation does not reflect Delhi's modal share, with over 80% of trips by public transit and non-motorized transport. Personal vehicles dominate parking and road space despite accounting for only 15-20% of trips. This leads to wasteful use of scarce urban land and subsidizes car ownership over other modes. Stricter parking pricing and enforcement can encourage a shift to more sustainable modes and manage parking demand. New policies aim to prioritize parking for public transit, walking and cycling to support a shift away from private vehicle dominance.
Transit oriented development (TOD) aims to maximize residential, business and leisure space within walking distance of public transport to increase ridership and promote sustainable urban growth. A TOD typically includes a central transit stop surrounded by a high-density mixed-use area, with lower densities further out. TODs reduce reliance on private vehicles, improve quality of life, increase property values and reduce pollution. Case studies in Bangalore, India showed that metros can induce land use changes and densification around stations through increased building heights and commercial space.

The routes are intended to provide faster, more reliable bus transport as an alternative to private vehicles and feed into existing and planned metro lines. Underpasses are proposed at certain intersections to allow bus-only passage.
The document discusses feeder services as an important part of integrated public transport networks. It defines feeder services as buses that pick up passengers and transport them to transfer points to connect to trunk services like rail. Effective feeder services require consideration of origin-destination points, network connectivity, ease of transfers and fare pricing. Challenges include long wait times, inefficient routes and high costs that make conventional buses unsuitable as feeders. Solutions proposed include improving infrastructure at stations, optimizing route lengths and frequencies, and exploring new transport models like paratransit to enhance viability and connectivity of feeder services as part of the overall public transport system.
The document discusses the proposed Association of BRTS Cities in Asia (ABCA) and provides details about Ahmedabad's Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS). Some key points:
- The association aims to promote public transit and BRTS across Asian cities through knowledge sharing and technical support.
- Ahmedabad's BRTS currently has 68 km of operational corridors with 101 stations and carries over 100,000 passengers daily. Phase 3 plans to expand the network by 27 km.
- Infrastructure includes dedicated bus lanes, elevated structures, stations, depots, and ITS systems. Operations are managed by Janmarg Limited through various public-private partnerships.
- Fares are adjusted annually based on fuel and construction cost
Parisar - Vision for a people-friendly cityParisarPune
The document discusses the need for sustainable transport solutions in cities. It notes that cities today face a mobility crisis due to congestion, a health crisis due to air pollution, and a safety crisis with high rates of accidents. It argues that continuing to build more roads and infrastructure focused on vehicles will not solve these issues and will only increase traffic. The document advocates for designing cities for people rather than vehicles through policies like restricting personal motor vehicles, improving public transit and non-motorized transport, implementing parking and congestion pricing, and creating more pedestrian and cyclist-friendly streets. It provides examples of cities that have successfully implemented such policies and transformed their transport systems.
The document discusses the need for exclusive bus lanes in Bangalore to address the city's traffic congestion issues. It proposes 5 possible bus lane routes totaling about 71 km that could connect important areas and supplement the metro system. The routes would provide faster, more reliable bus transport and discourage private vehicle use. Planning considerations for the bus lanes like underpasses at intersections are also covered.
This document summarizes a stakeholder roundtable meeting held on October 16, 2012 to discuss the Directions to 2050 transportation project. The meeting included introductions, an overview of recent studies on transportation in Kern County, and a discussion of policy areas. Recommendations from studies included improving public transit services, establishing commuter rail, and expanding bicycle infrastructure. Stakeholders then participated in an online activity to discuss priorities and allocate resources to transportation policies.

Assessing Impact of Metro Stations Integrating Commercial Landuse & Transport...Vivek Agnihotri
The document summarizes the methodology and findings of a study assessing the impact of metro stations on commercial land use and transportation in Lucknow, India. The study involved:
1) Collecting data through household, user, and developer surveys to understand existing land use and transportation conditions.
2) Analyzing the data using tools like the Development Potential Index to understand land use patterns and intersection studies to analyze transportation.
3) Reviewing case studies of metro systems in cities like Portland, San Francisco, Seoul, New Delhi, Boston, and Curitiba to understand best practices in transit-oriented development.
4) Developing proposals for land use regulations, traffic planning guidelines, and other measures to guide commercial development around
The document discusses sustainable transportation and provides details about Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems in India. It describes the key features of successful BRT systems, using the examples of the Ahmedabad and Pimpri-Chinchwad BRT networks. The Ahmedabad BRT was the first in India and has been recognized as a successful project, carrying over 35,000 daily passengers in a sustainable way by limiting emissions and improving pedestrian infrastructure. Essential features for effective BRT identified include adequate road width, limited intersections, exclusive bus bays, and proximity of stations to pedestrian crossings and trip generators.
This document discusses different modes of transportation and classifications of roads. It covers the following key points:
1) Road transportation is an important mode as it allows for quick and easy transport of passengers and goods over short distances. Roads are classified based on factors like traffic volume, location, and materials used.
2) Rail transportation is well-suited for mass transport of people and bulk goods over long distances. Railways have different track gauges in India.
3) Other modes discussed include waterways and airways, along with their advantages and limitations.
4) The document provides details on the classification of roads in India according to the Nagpur Road Plan into national highways, state highways, major district

The overall results were in and around 5-10% (upper limit)
compared to secondary data available. (CTS 2005-2208
Study)
1.65964 passengers are alighting at Churchgate between
9 am and 11 am.
2.146674 passengers are alighting at CST between 9 am
and 11 am. The most busy hr is 9:00-10:00 am.
3.Fast locals at CST are heavily packed and the frequency
needs to be further increased; esp between 11:00-11:30
arrival time at CST.
4.The number of commuters arriving at ChurchGate have
a sudden drop after 10:30 am.
1.The survey was
done only in second
class compartments.
2.The density of
Women and Male
travelers was
considered at par.
3.The Number of First

10685 commuters between 9:00-11:00 am are taking the
feeder bus, i.e 16.2 % of the overall suburban train
passengers alighting at Churchgate Station.
1.Bus frequency is not in sync with alighting patterns of
commuters.
2.Bus routes were mapped.
3.Bus stop accessibility, infra conditions etc were also
mapped.

volume, flow
and behavior
pattern of
pedestrians
alighting at
CST and CCH.
Major problems on the path are key junctions
(organization and signaling).
1.1 to 1.5 sq.mts space available for pedestrians, for all
the six major flow originating points.
2. Capacity reduction of pavements as result of hawking
is not relevant; accept at the Main Entry Gate of CST in
the evening.
3. Jay walking is present even when the pavement
conditions are very comfortable to walk. Lack of
pedestrian grading, preference to have a shortest path
walk ; maintain express walking speed etc are found to
be few reasons..
4.Parking vehicles do not dither the pedestrian to walk
on road.
The solutions include identification of specific
infrastructure, accessibility, comfort and safety conditions
on the six major pedestrian walk-ways .
Surveys to examine
the evening flows :
are only partly done .

Statements about
amount and volume
of flow are subjective
in nature.

Long waiting times for pedestrians (up to 2 minutes)
1.Nearby Junctions are not synchronized to
pedestrians avg walk speed. They are in
synchronization to vehicular speed. Hence large wait
time for pedestrians.
2.Location of zebra crossings not based on the
existent pedestrian flows.
3. Dangerous situations results as warning times are
short, when pedestrian signals turn to red.
4.Median Island built-ups by pedestrian are a common
feature.
The solutions include , averaging out signal times
in favor of pedestrians, providing median space
wherever applicable , arterial roads and second
priority to Public Transport, synchronized
movement of one-way traffic with nearby signals
etc.
