Abstract:

This toolkit refers to the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) Revised (2014) toolkit of the Ministry of Urban Development, India, which was developed by the Institute of Urban Transport (IUT) Delhi, and UNEP DTU Partnership, along with Indian project partners from the UN Environment Project Promoting Low Carbon Transport in India. This toolkit for LCMP caters to a global audience, and provides a simplified approach for LCMP preparation for smaller cities, or cities in which no major investments are envisaged in the short-term. The toolkit has a specific focus on cities in less-developed and developing countries where significant infrastructure will be built to cater to a growing transportation demand and, therefore, land-use and transport policies can play an important role in shaping mobility demand and mode choice. Through a set of sustainability indicators and step-by-step approach, the toolkit provides guidance on how to strategize mobility planning as part of urban planning, prioritize accessibility for all socio-economic groups, prioritize shifts to sustainable transport modes and reduce environmental impacts.
