What cmp is- a toolkit that serves as a guide for dealing with urban transport
development
Main features of cmp

To optimise the mobility of people and goods rather than vehicles.

Promotion and improvement of the use of Public Transport System

Focus on Non-Motorised vehicles and pedestrians.

To act as an effective platform for integrating Land USE AND Transport

planning.

Comprehensive Mobility Plan should take the knowledge of existing plans and
studies such as CDPs, master plan and transport studies

GUIDELINES TO THE TASK THAT ARE TO

BE FOLLOWED TO PREPARE CMP

TASK 1- DEFINING THE SCOPE OF CMP

TASK 2-DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING URBAN TRANSPORT

AND ENVIRONMENT

TASK 3-DEVELOPMENT OF BUISNESS AS USUAL(BAU) SCENARIO

TASK 4-DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSPORT SCENARIO

TASK 5-DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN MOBILITY PLAN

TASK 6-PREPARATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMME

MONITORING OF CMP IMPLEMENTATION

ACTS AS A BASIS FOR APPROVING VARIOUS PROJECT,PLANS AND POLICIES

THEREFORE ITS MONITORING IS NECESSARY
TWO LEVELS OF MONITORING

1.

MONITORING REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION OF CMP IN TERMS OF TIME FRAME

PROPOSED AND ACHIEVED

2.

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF CMP TO THE

ENVIRONMENT

REVIEW OF CMP OF KOLKATA

Vision of city development plan

1.

Social sustainability-The vision statement strives to provide an improved

quality of life to all its citizens focusing on an inclusive approach

2.

Economic sustainability-the city wants to move towards higher economic

growth path and attract investments in the city by ensuring an enabling
living, working and investment environment.
Environment sustainability is missing

The city does not however, indicate its drive to do so in an environmentally

benign manner

Evaluation of cmp vision for transport

sector

the vision statement does aim to achieve many of the sustainable mobility
elements like environment friendliness, safety, security, reliability, etc.

However it does not directly indicate towards developing a transport system

that is accessible to all, is energy efficient in its operations and is based on
equitable principles of road allocation.

Although not mentioned exclusively in the vision/goal statements, the Plan

envisages a people-centric rather than vehicle- centric growth of the
transport sector, which keeps it in line with the NUTP recommendations.

summary
There are several recommendations in Kolkata CMP that help promote
sustainable mobility objectives. At the same time, there are a few gaps in the
Plan recommendations and the projects identified to realize the Plan
recommendations. Some broad recommendations to address the gaps identified
while reviewing the Plan is given

Good practices/recommendation in the

plan

Provide recommendations for improving accessibility of urban poor, For e.g.

providing differential public transit services, connectivity of slum areas by
public transit routes, etc

Measures to promote security of transport users are needed. These may

include passenger information systems, separate coaches in public transit
modes, integration of hawkers/informal sector, etc.

Projects need to be undertaken to integrate public transport nodes with NMT

and Intermediate Para Transit (IPT) systems; for e.g. using IPT as a feeder to
public transit terminals, bicycle renting facilities at public transit nodes, etc
