Providing bypass routes for long distance commuter and truck traffic so that they do not have to travel through the city roads. Identifying feeder systems that connect different pockets and wards in the city to the most convenient point in one or more of the mobility corridors Providing a network of dedicated cycle tracks, footpaths and pedestrian crossings Pedestrianizing important portions of the core city area and linking them with strategic parking places to encourage people to walk in such areas Providing flyovers in a few heavily congested junctions/intersections to reduce idling traffic Special attention towards road safety Introduction of physical and fiscal measures to discourage the use of personal motor vehicles Reform and strengthen the institutional arrangements for managing and regulating the transport system in the city.
The Comprehensive Mobility Plan thus provides the overall transportation planning framework for the city, and prioritizes cycles, pedestrian facilities and public transport. The implications for the Pune Cycle Plan, emerging from the CMP include:
Need for creation of a dedicated cycle track network Possibility of using cycles as a feeder mode The proposal for decongestion of the core city and pedestrianization of selected areas, may be considered as cycling inclusive planning, as these measures would also help to promote cycling
Pune’s Development Plan 2007-2027 published in 2013 and revised in 2017 has emphasised on the following sustainable transportation goals, objectives and performance indicators: Table 1: Summary of Sustainable Transportation Goals, Objectives and Performance Indicators
Sustainability Goals Economical
Objectives
Performance Indicators
Economic productivity
Transport system efficiency. Transport system integration. Maximize accessibility. Efficient pricing and incentives. Economic and business development
Per capita GDP Portion of budgets devoted to transport. Per capita congestion delay. Efficient pricing (road, parking, insurance, fuel, etc). Efficient prioritization of facilities
Economic development Energy efficiency
Affordability
Efficient transport operations
Minimize energy costs, particularly petroleum imports. All residents can afford access to basic (essential) services and activities. Efficient operations and asset management maximizes cost efficiency.
28
Access to education and employment opportunities. Support for local industries. Per capita transport energy consumption Per capita use of imported fuels. Availability and quality of affordable modes (walking, cycling, ridesharing and public transport). Portion of lowincome households that spend more than 20% of budgets on transport. Performance audit results. Service delivery unit costs compared with peers. Service quality.
