Catalysing Non Motorised Transport (NMT) ecosystem for cities of UP
Uttar Pradesh (UP) is one of the states with very high walking and cycling usage in daily urban commutes. With increasing private vehicle usage, lack of proper infrastructure and non-favorable policies; the share of Non-motorized transport (NMT) users is likely to decline. There is also an increased risk in terms of safety while walking or bicycling, which is also affecting the choice of mode shifts from private vehicles. The access to public transport in form of metros and buses, is majorly catered by walking mode and the state of access infrastructure is also an important factor to consider in order to improve the public transport usage.
