6. Priorities in investment for short, mid and long term

INTEGRATED APPROACH

• Planning the management of the transport system and land use to best address the Access needs for people, goods and services

• Integration- means considering planning choices as total package rather than considering them in isolation.

VISION

1) National Vision (NDP) 2035: A transformed Ugandan Society from a peasant to a modern prosperous country within 30 years”

2) KCCA Vision: A Vibrant, Attractive and Sustainable City.

LIST OF SURVEYS

1. Travel Habit Survey with GPS – 2,000 HH2. PT inventory – 147 parks and 447 routes3. O -D on PT - >7,000 pax. Mainly during AM peak with daily and

weekend4. Taxi Departure frequencies – in all bus parks for AM peak5. Classified traffic counts - > 40 locations, mainly AM but also

daily and weekend6. Corridor pax. Counts - >40 locations, AM peak with daily and

weekend7. GPS travel time and route – on all taxi routes8. Road network attributes – for all links in the TDM

TRAVEL BEHAVIOR Low mobility – average of 2.3 trip per

person/day, but poor people do less trips/day

Most trips are by walking –but poor people do more than 50% of their trips by walking

Poor people are forced to walk because they can’t afford to use public transport or cars. They need to spend 22% of their available income on transport as oppose to 10% recommended by the WB

Poor people have low mobility and low accessibility to opportunities & activities

SIMILAR FINDINGS ACROSS SSA

Bodaboads Account for 42.4% of vehicles on the road, but carry 8.5% of the passengers (2011)

PT COSTS PT operation is not subsidized in Uganda, so taxi owner

should cover O&M costs and make revenue from cash-box revenue

On the average, number of daily paying pax/day-taxi of 14 seats is ~100

In BRT systems, number of passengers per bus-day is 1,000-3,000, so single ticket fare can be reduced

The introduction of multi-trips ticket (monthly, daily) will reduce even more the cost for heavy users

ROAD SAFETY AND PEDESTRIAN IN KAMPALA

It is also very unsafe to be poor in Kampala

THE UPDATED TDM Number of TAZ- 170

MODEL IS TOUR BASED RATHER THAN TRIP BASED

CURRENT MODEL IS MAINLY CALIBRATED FOR AUTO TRIPS BUT INCLUDES ALSO TAXI ROUTES, MATRIX AND COUNTS

MODEL ESTIMATE ALSO BODA-BODA AND WALKING

MAIN PROBLEMS

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM- TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM- VISIONVISION

An Integrated, Sustainable and Safe Transport System providing Accessibility to basic services to all residents in an Affordable manner.

OBJECTIVES - 1• At least 80% of the trips in KCCA region will be done with

sustainable modes (walking, cycling, modern bus or rail system)

• At least 50% of all trips in KCCA region should be non-motorized (walking, cycling)

• At least 80% of all walking trips should be done on paved walkways that are physically separated from the motorized traffic

• There should be at least 200 km of cycling lanes in KCCA, networked, separated and protected from the general traffic

• Number of fatalities in road accidents should be reduced by at least 50% compared with 2011 results

.

OBJECTIVES - 2• MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) system should be affordable

and cost no more than 12% of the available household monthly income of low income people

• At least 60% of KCCA residents in 2020 should be able to walk to the nearest mass rapid transport stop (i.e. BRT) less than 1 km and 90% should be able to walk less than 3 km

• At least 80% of all employment and local service opportunities in KCCA region should be located no more than 2 km from a mass rapid stop

• Each person in KCCA should be able to access basic service (elementary and secondary school, health service and basic shopping)by walking no more than 2 km

OBJECTIVES - 3• At least 50% of all motorized trips in KCCA region should

be made on arterial roads that provide good mobility. These roads should have no parking along the road

• Each new major land use development within KCCA should be evaluated using TIA - traffic impact assessment procedure, and if traffic situation is deteriorating, mitigation measures should be identified and financed by the developers

• Level of air pollution and GHG emission caused by road transport will be reduced by 50% from its current level

• Decisions regarding investments in transport infrastructure should be made based upon cost-benefit analysis, where benefits derived from up-to-date TDM

PROPOSED URBAN TRANSPORT STRATEGY FOR KAMPALA

SHORT TERM ACTIVITIES - WALKWAYS• Identify all current major walking routes (i.e. routes with

more than 1,000 pedestrian per hour per direction). Review the available walking infrastructure and prepare detailed design for the provision of adequate walkway infrastructure.

• For each proposed BRT station, identify relevant walkways routes in a radius on 2 km from the station, and design and construct the walkways

• For each local center, identify walkways in a radius of 2 km, design and construct the walkways

• Adopt new geometric design standards for urban roads that include necessary width for separated and paved walkways along the street.

• In any new or reconstructed urban road include proper walkway in the cross section.

SHORT TERM ACTIVITIES - CYCLING• Identify main potential cycling routes that will connect major residential

locations to main and local activity centers. Prepare a master plan for cycling routes for KCCA for 2022 that will include at least 200 km

• Adopt best international geometric design standards

• in every new road introduce cycling lanes as a standard part of the overall cross section

• Develop a comprehensive communication strategy and comprehensive cycling outreach program, to include all major employers in KCCA. Identify potential infrastructure needs (i.e. bicycle parking facilities and bicycle lanes leading to these locations) and prepare a plan to provide these facilities.

• Select carefully a pilot project, construct the necessary lanes and parking facilities, and launch communication campaign to increase awareness and usage.

• Conduct “before-after” surveys and draw conclusions from the pilot project

SHORT TERM ACTIVITIES – TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

• Relocation of the main taxi stage (Old park and new park) away from the centre and relocating of the smaller taxi stages off the main roads

• Introducing new on-street parking regulations especially along the main roads.

• Evacuating all commercial activities that encroach the roads' ROW

• Redesign of traffic circles that reached capacity in city centre and replacing them with traffic signals

• Introduce warrants fo signalization and introduce traffic control centre and many new signals

• Maintain proper marking and signing

• Restructuring taxi routes to reduce number of taxis along main roads

SHORT TERM ACTIVITIES – INSTITUTIONAL MEASURES

• Establish MATA that will include planning and modeling dept. as well as strong PT regulation and operation

• Introduce TIA procedure using the updated TDM

• Adopt CBA procedure to rvaluate and prioritize investments

• Integrate land use and transport

MID TERM ACTIVITIES – INTEGRATED PT• Approve PT master plan and secure the necessary

ROW. Master plan should explore bus and rail modes

• Introduce integrated ticketing with new fare structure

• Restructure taxi network to feed and support MRT

• Develop professional capacity especially for regulating PT

PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM• Mass Transit –BRT system as the

core of public transport service. Urban Light Rail service on corridors where it is viable

• Urban bus transport network

• . Feeder service- Role of Minibus

• Walking and Cycling

Based mainly on existing corridors

MID TERM ACTIVITIES – URBAN FREEWAY• We propose to use the current rail corridor to construct urban

freeway, combined with option for double track rail operation. This is essential for both transport and urban purposes
