Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs launches Stage 2 of the Transport4All Challenge

Through an intense pan-India data collection exercise in Stage 1 of the Transport4All🚍 Challenge, 46 cities identified the issues faced by commuters and service providers of informal and formal public transport. They now advance into Stage 2, where they collaborate with Indian Startups to create contextual digital solutions for the shortlisted problem statements. Cities and startups will receive guidance to develop and test various solutions, learn from them, and scale them to build people's trust in public transport and enhance their mobility.

Coimbatore on its way to #ParkItRight
ITDP organised a capacity building workshop ‘Re-imagining Our Streets’ in Aurangabad on 19th November with Aurangabad Municipal Corporation and Aurangabad Smart City Development Corporation Limited (ASCDCL) focusing on designing complete streets. The workshop had insightful sessions by ITDP India, Urban Research Foundation, and Prasanna Desai Architects covering aspects of street design along with insights from the NMT policy. Here are some snippets from the workshop.
With the intent to organize and optimize parking so that more urban space is available for sustainable and healthy living in Coimbatore, a stakeholder consultation workshop was hosted by Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation to implement progressive parking reforms.

Publication: Protected Bicycle Lanes Protect the Climate

As part of ITDP’s global Cycling Cities campaign and with support from the FIA Foundation, this new report finds that networks of protected bicycle lanes in middle-income cities reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower transport costs, and prevent premature fatalities in a highly cost-effective way. By collecting and comparing new data from two very different cities, this report provides the first empirical evidence directly linking bicycle infrastructure to cutting carbon in middle-income cities. It also provides a tool (Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets) that anyone can use to predict the impacts of a protected bicycle lane network in any city.
