1. SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTS IN TRANSPORT SECTOR/ OPTIONS AND BENEFITS Media Sensitization Seminar on Transport Sector and Related Issues in Pakistan Monday, December 23rd, 2013,Karachi Dr. Mir Shabbar Ali Professor (Transportation Engineering) DEPARTMENT OF URBAN AND INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERING NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi

2. Presentation covers • Understanding of sustainable transport • Analysis of urban travel in Karachi • Public Transport options • Recommendations

3. Environment Economy Equity A sustainable transportation system is one that: • Allows the basic access needs of individuals to be met safely and in a manner consistent with human and ecosystem health, and with equity within and between generations.

4. Environment Economy Equity A sustainable transportation system is one that: • Is affordable, operates efficiently, offers choice of transport mode, and supports a vibrant economy.

5. The Accessibility approach Increased speed can result in a proportionally larger increase in accessible area. Implications: • More and faster travel increases accessibility. • Congestion can limit accessibility by a particular mode. • Efforts to increase automobility can reduce other forms of accessibility.

6. Use of indicators * *VMT = Vehicle Miles Traveled

7. Urban Land Use • A sustainable transportation system minimizes the use of land. • Transport uses land directly (roads, driveways, transport corridors, parking) • Personal transport allows low-density development of urban areas ->urban sprawl. • Low residential densities make it economically impossible to justify public transit… • -> the cycle of car dependency increases.

8. Percentage Traveling Mode People use public transport (Bus/Minibus) is 60%.

9. Percent Distribution of Average Monthly Income Levels of Families Income (Rs)

10. Percentage Monthly Traveling Expenditure vs Traveling Mode 10% of income spent for transportation ⇒Target for Tariff of any Transport

11. Trip Start Time vs Trip Generation Rate on Typical weekday Total Population = 12,094,629, Total Trips = 24,227,337, Ave. Trip number =2.003 OFF PEAK

12. The Karachi Experience:Chinqui a form of Transit System

14. Major Flow of Citizen Super Highway Sohrab Goth Air Port Quaidabad Korangi M.W.Tower Maikolachi

15. Top 6 Major Route 2nd 1th 4th 3rd 6th 5th

16. CITY Corridor Plan

17. Industrial Area Strong Relationship of Town to Town Airport Port Area Port Qasim

18. Road Sections with more than 100,000 Vehicles/Day

19. Top 20 Road Sections in terms of Traffic Volume

20. Urban public transport options

21. Bus Rapid Transit • Premium transit using rubber tire vehicles • Dedicated running way • Fewer stops than local bus • Distinct stations, vehicles, and systems • Allows flexibility to operate multiple routes LAMATA BRT Buses – Ojota Depot LAMATA Bus Shelter – Ilupeju

22. Street Car or Light Rail Vehicle: An electrically propelled rail vehicle operated singly or in trains on shared, semi exclusive, or exclusive right-of-way Streetcar or Light Rail Transit

23. Automated guide way small and medium-sized vehicles that operate fully automatically on guideways with exclusive rights-of-way Typically on a loop or as a shuttle within central business districts, airports or other high activity centers Fixed Guide way Vehicles

24. Modern version of traditional streetcars May operate alongside auto, rail traffic Reduces costs Increases travel time Stations 1∕3-1½ miles apart Light Rail Transit

25. Heavy Rail • The term heavy rail is often used for regular rail, to distinguish from systems such as light rail, monorail, Street car etc. • Heavy rail typically refers to the standard inter-city rail network, which is built to be robust enough for heavy and high-speed trains, including freight trains, and long distance passenger trains.

26. Similar to passenger railroad service Existing railroads with improvements Sidings Additional tracks Long-distance commuting Stations 1½ -5 miles apart Commuter Rail Transit
