This document provides an overview of the National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) in India. It discusses the problems facing urban areas like traffic congestion, high travel costs, and air pollution. It outlines the vision of the policy to make cities more livable and engines of economic growth. The objectives are to ensure safe, affordable access to jobs, education and other needs. It discusses various policy measures like integrating land use and transport planning, prioritizing public transport and non-motorized transport, and encouraging the use of cleaner technologies. The role of the central government, private sector participation, and the need for public awareness are also summarized.

4. Introduction
Industrial sector
 Economic Growth Urban
Service sector Area
 Urban Population in India is about 30% of total population
2001 – 285 Million
2021 - 473 Million
2051 - 820 Million
 National Urban Renewable Mission (NURM) By Govt. Of
India

•Most Killed
are cyclist,
Pedestrians or
pavement
dwellers
•Increase in
2-Wheelers &
4-Wheelers

6. Role of
Central
Govt.
Involving key
agencies in urban
planning work
without any
accountability to
the State Govt.
Implicating
several acts &
laws
Guiding state
level projects.
Launching
NURM with
financial support
to improve urban
mobility.

7. Vision Of The Policy
To recognize that people
occupy CENTRE STAGE in
our cities & all plans would
be for their common benefit
& well-being.
To make our cities more livable
in the world & enable them to
become the ‘’ ENGINES OF
ECONOMIC GROWTH’’
To allow our cities to evolve into
an URBAN FORM that is best
suited for its unique geography
& support the main SOCIAL &
ECONOMICAL ACTIVITIES

8. Objective of the Policy
‘’To ensure safe, affordable,
quick, comfortable, reliable
& sustainable access for
growing number of city
residents to jobs, education,
recreation & such other
needs within the cities’’

9. Realizing the policy objective
Integrating land
use and transport
planning.
Equitable
allocation of road
space.
Priority to the use
of public
transport.
Quality & pricing
of public
transport.
Technologies for
public transport.
Integrated public
transport
systems.
Association of the
private sector.
Need for Public
awareness and
cooperation

10. Realizing the policy objective
Contd…
Financing.
Role of Para-
transit.
Priority to
non-motorised
transport.
Parking.
Freight traffic.
Legal and
Administrative
issues.
Capacity
building.
Use of cleaner
technologies.
Innovative
Financing
mechanism.

11. Integrating land use &
transport planningDesign of city should
be considering specific
features of the city.
(population, area,
topography, economic
activities, income
levels Etc)
Future growth be
around the pre-
planned transport
network to avoid
uncontrolled sprawl.
urban development &
planning bodies
should have in house
transport planners.
Govt. support for pilot
study of sample cities.
Providing partial
finance for the study
for integrating
transport planning &
land use planning.

12. Equitable allocation of road
space
Present allocation of space is keeping focus on
vehicle and not people.
Hence lower income group suffers in terms of
higher travel time & higher travel cost.
Safety threats to non-motorised modes.
Hence planning will be with people as focus (by
reserving lanes & corridors for public transport &
non-motorised vehicle)
Acts pertaining to enforce lane discipline & lane
reservation.

13. Public transport occupies
less road space, causes
less pollution per
passenger-km and is more
sustainable.
Central Govt. would
promote investment in
public transport as well as
measures to make public
transport more attractive.
Planning be to suit the city
requirement of next 30
years.
Studies to be carried about
various proven
technologies around the
world
Priority to the
use of Public
Transport

14. Quality and
pricing
Public
Transport
• Public transport system reduces
pollution and congestion.
• Low income group people are
main user of public transport
system and hence recovery of
operating cost is not satisfactory.
• Also high income group uses it
for save in time.
• Hence a Basic service & Premium
service is needed

15. TECHNOLOGIES FOR PUBLIC
TRANSPORT
Traffic planners have to
keep check

worthy………..

20. Some successful stories:
Electric trolley busses in sanfransisco
BRTS in Bagota(Colombia)

22. INTEGRATED PUBLIC TRANSPORT
SYSTEM

24. PRINCIPLE:
Govt. Provides infrastructure and
users must pay operating and rolling costs.
govt.Takes capital support of 20% at the time
of investment.

25. FINANCING
Private sector participation
Willingness to divert funds from projects that
add road capacity
Initiatives for NMT and improve safe public
access
Willingness to improve premium public
transport system that are priced high with
view to limit subsidy in normal services.

26. Role of para-transit

27. Non Motorised Transport

28. Which can be done
 Constructing right of way for bicycles and
pedestrians
 Creative facilities like giving land scaping and
drinking water along corridors should be
encouraged.
Govt gave importance to cycles under
National Urban Renewal Mission[NURM]

29. PARKING
Preference should be given to public
transport and NMT
Grade scale parking fee

30. FREIGHT TRAFFIC
Truck terminals should be
encouraged through PPP

31. LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
ISSUES
Right co-ordination....... Can be done
through Unified MetropolitanTransport
Authorities[UMTS].
Govt. Should encourage professional bodies
to make scientific assessment.

32. CAPACITY BUILDING
1. Responsibility
2. Two levels : institutional and individual
3. Encourage the development
4. Training and skill development of the public officials

33. USE OF CLEANER TECHNOLOGIES
 CNG
 Electric vehicles
 New technologies
 Zero pollution

34. Innovative financing
mechanisms using land as a
resource
 Huge capital investment
 Taxes
 Partnership and greater use of private capital

35. Association of the private
sector
1. Encouraging the use of private sector

36. NEED FOR PUBLIC AWARENESS
AND COOPERATION:
1. Clear objective
2. Green travel habits
3. Awareness campaign
