Redefining mobility

As per Indian National Transport Policy: “The Central Government would, encourage measures that allocate road space

on a more equitable basis, with people as its focus.”

Policy Framework

Indian National Transport Policy: VISION

• To recognize that people occupy center-stage in our cities and all plans would be for their common benefit and well being

• To make our cities the most livable in the world and enable

them to become the “engines of economic growth” that power India’s development in the 21st century

• To allow our cities to evolve into an urban form that is best suited for the unique geography of their locations and is best

placed to support the main social and economic activities that take place in the city.

Policy Framework

As per Transport chapter of MPD 2021: VISION

• 80: 20 Modal Split (Set 5-year targets)

• Women safety

• Zero fatality

• Air quality targets

• Equity and inclusion

• Sustainable transport – equity, environment

CURRENT ISSUES

They Reduce Mobility of ALL Road Users!! Context

Flyovers do not reduce congestion

Increase in:

Traffic = 21 times

Road space = 3.1 times

Congestion has

doubled in the last 8 to

10 years.”

Ring road:

Designed for 75,000

vehicles a day,

Carries 4,00,000

vehicles a day.

70/170 traffic locations

carry more than their

vehicle carrying

capacity

Environmental Pollution Context

Sources of Air Pollution in Delhi:

Delhi-Pollution

Vehicular

Emission

Industrial

Emission

Other Sources

70% VEHICULAR EMISSION

Industrial Emission

20%

Source: MPD 2021, p57

DG sets, cooking, biomass 10%

Pollution same as that before CNG

Vehicle pollution - 3 times of industrial

pollution

Vehicles are major cause of

respiratory fatalities.

21 people die of respiratory diseases

in capital every day

Average Peak Hour Speed- 5-10Km/Hr

Average Off-Peak Hour Speed- 80Km/Hr


Out of scale Infrastructure Context

Safety of humans, cyclists at risk

Unplanned & Unregulated parking Context

Parking lots need to be planned along with an overall transit

strategy

Citizen’s of Delhi get a wrong notion- THEY CAN PARK THEIR

VEHICLE ANYWHERE


Wrong planning of pedestrian Infrastructure Context 5
