The innovation initiative focuses on the management by the Environmental Secretariat of Environment of Bogota, of short-lived pollutants suchs as Black Carbon, nano-particles due to their impact on health and climate change. This accomplishment started by characterizing and regulating the available technologies in public road passanger transport while measuring the concentration of nano-particles in all public transit bus fleet emission standards.
Equally, the previous mentioned task implied an evaluation of the implementation of alternativeabatement technologies such as the retrofitting of diesel particle filters on used buses and the evaluation of new technologies in city buses. Conversely, studies of personal exposure to nanoparticules in various road corridors and other transportation methods have been done in order to define a baseline for evaluating the impact of this action.
In today’s metropolises, air pollution is considered a pervasive problem affecting all aspects of life. As a result, city officials have been urged to come up with practical solutions to reduce air pollution and control its consequences. The present initiative was designed and developed with the aim of reducing urban traffic and traffic-induced air pollution in Mashhad metropolis. In the proposed initiative, five principal areas are taken into consideration. These areas included travel demand management, provision and development of infrastructure required for transportation and traffic networks, traffic behavior improvement and encouragement of citizen participation, expansion of public transportation systems, and reducing the emission of pollutants associated with traffic and transportation. In each principal area, relevant practical solutions were designed and implemented. The most important innovative measure taken in this initiative was the design of certain types of motorcycles which play a significant role in reducing traffic-induced air pollution.
With rapid social and economic development over the last two decades, Urumqi was confronted with many problems in internal and outbound traffic. For instance, insufficient outbound transport facilities led to the fall in related services, leading to a rapid increase in the use of private vehicles causing severe traffic congestion. . At the same time, the national “One Belt One Road” Initiative turned Xinjiang into a strategic gateway for the northern silk road. This put even more transport and infrastructure demands on Urumqi - the capital city of Xinjiang. This led the Urumqi Municipal Government to issue its White Paper on Transportation Development of Urumqi and the Planning for Urumqi Silk Road Transportation Hub in 2014 and 2015. With the support of stakeholders’ forums, partners and through a series of workshops and seminars involving a wide range of social actors , Urumqi has been able to improve step-by-step its outbound transport infrastructure and to successfully promote a series of transport services covering an area of influence over Central Asia and Central Europe. This has made foreign traffic more convenient and open and has contributed significantly to the development of a thriving local service industry in relation to the transport hub, providing more income opportunities and a more diverse range of employment for the urban population. At the same time, Urumqi sought to improve local mobility. Due to harsh weather conditions and a difficult terrain, Urumqi opted for a BRT backbone which today is the most extensive in terms of mileage in China and perhaps the most comfortable in terms of people-oriented design with, for example, heated waiting rooms and other facilities.
The project consists in the design of 27 runners in 13 municipalities in the metropolitan area of Toluca, 2 municipalities which form part of the metropolitan area of Tianguistenco and the urban municipality of Tenango del Valle. This proposal is intended to primarily benefit the people that passes through the metropolis of Toluca, by the order and connection of public transport, also referred to remove from transportation unites that do not meet the requirements established in the relevant standards. Intends that new units use environmentally friendly fuels and of higher-capacity. Also showing the granting of concessions only to transportation companies and stimulate the displacement walk users through the establishment of stops that have an average distance of 500 meters. Expected a positive impact on 1 million 226 thousand 535 people, considered as direct beneficiaries.
The initiative focuses on transforming the provision of reliable and sustainable public transport systems and creating smoother and safer traffic systems. The City is developing high standard mass transport projects such as 7 BRT lines (of which the B2 corridor is under detailed design phase), 3 public transport terminals, 3 bus depots, 2 share the bike (non motorized transport) pilot projects. Furthermore, additional bus operator is established running 300 buses and shall be increased by 410 more buses in the next five years. The efficiency of the public transport is planned to be improved with the introduction of dedicated bus lanes.
For improved traffic flow and safety the city has initiated the development an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), building parking facilities (structural and open-lot systems) integrated with public spaces. It is being furthered with a design review of the already existing road networks and intersections, road safety strategy has been developed and action plans are being prepared.
To enhance the operational capacity of the Road and Transport Bureau, a new structure has been enacted and has commenced operations. These new institutions (Public and Fright Transport Authority, Traffic Management Agency, and Drivers and Vehicle Control Authority) shall decentralize operations for effective results.
Historically transport service delivery in Cape Town and nationally has been based on assumption, not on data driven fact therefore not truly addressing needs.
Delivering integrated, interoperable safe and affordable transport services, required innovation from governance to strategy and implementation. This led to the birth of TCT, the first Transport Authority in South African history and a new, transparent, investment and performance oriented service delivery paradigm supported by a Transport Development Index (TDI). The TDI establishes access priority costs such as flexibility, congestion, safety, crime and direct costs of four transport user groups (public transport, private car, non-motorised transport and freight) and monetises these. The TDI informs service delivery investments and acts as the barometer that measures progress in lowering access priority costs over time.
Annexure A is the calculation of the TDI for public, private and non-motorised transport, as well as for freight and competitiveness as at June 2016.
transport project takes the ofShenzhen city as the carrier to build
a mobile communication platform, and takes the henzhen city as the window of
the image display of henzhen city. The VI design of characteristic item
integrates the traditional Chinese cultural concept and the characteristics of
henzhen city. Characteristic public transport covers four major contents:
characteristic concept, characteristic territory, characteristic culture
extension and characteristic public welfare. With the as the carrier,
four functions: can be presented, disseminated, Shared and interactive.
The characteristic is different from the traditional , adding the
interactive function of the Internet, upgrading the single city traffic tool to
the city flow platform with communication, interaction and information
sharing, realizing the cultural and functional upgrading of the , exploring the
new mode for to coordinate dependency developing and leading the
new direction of the development.
Seoul City’s 2030 Youth Public Housing Project
isdesigned to supply affordable; quality housing to young peoplein their 20s
and 30s. These new units will be within walking distance of
publictransportation through public-private partnerships. The City’s chronic
shortageof conveniently located affordable rental housing has led municipal
authoritiesto incentivize private developers to construct public housing by
offering taxbreaks and exemptions, and allowing for high floor area ratios.
These privatelandlords then allocate 10 to 30 percent of their public housing
units to SeoulCity, which can in turn offer it
to low-income young adults,and supply the rest to young people at below-market prices.
The youthpublic housing is equipped with
diverse facilities designed forits tenants to engage in diverse social and
cultural activities,and build networks with local communities,which will
ultimatelycontribute tovitalizing the local economy.
Maintaining a favorable ecological situation in
Moscow is important for the city authorities. Realizing that 90% of all
pollution in the city comes from transport, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin,
decided to launch a new large-scale initiative aiming to ensure the
environmental sustainability of Moscow, namely the development of public
electric transport - electric buses, electric vehicles and related
Further into the development of this initiative, a
project on organizing rail passenger transport along the freight Moscow Ring
Railway ˗ Moscow Central Ring (MCR) was implemented. There are 31 transfer
hubs, 20 metro transfers, and 6 transfers to the radial directions of the
railway are located along the 54 km of the MCR.As a result, the passenger flows
were redistributed, the average time of citizens' trips in most of the city has
reduced, and the comfort level of public transport has gone up significantly.
With the implementation of the MCR, the ecological situation in the city has
improved, many Moscow residents moved from driving personal vehicles to using a
more convenient railway transport.
