  1. Presentation of the proposed transport system inthe new Kampala Physical Development Plan Presentation to the Transport Sector Working Group Kampala, 5/9/2012

  2. Meeting Agenda • The Physical Development Framework • List of surveys conducted • Travel behavior in Kampala – main findings • Updated travel demand model • Main problems • Implications of findings on Vision, goals and objectives • Proposed investments in: • Traffic management • NMT • MRT • Road network 6. Priorities in investment for short, mid and long term

  3. Integrated Approach • Planning the management of the transport system and land use to best address the Access needs for people, goods and services • Integration- means considering planning choices as total package rather than considering them in isolation.

  4. Vision 1) National Vision (NDP) 2035: A transformed Ugandan Society from a peasant to a modern prosperous country within 30 years” 2) KCCA Vision: A Vibrant, Attractive and Sustainable City.

  5. Kampala Today EXISTING SITUATION 3,150,000 inhabitants WAKISO MUKONO 11.5 km 18 km Urban Sprawl Rural and Semi-urban KCCA ENTEBBE

  6. GKMA Population Forecast RECOMENDED GOAL

  7. GKMA Recommended Strategic Policy: • A. To boost development of Existing Towns. • B. To plan & establish New Satellite Towns.

  8. GKMA Vision: METROPOLIS of SATELLITES WAKISO- NANSANA MUKONO- GOMA-KIRA KCCA SSISA- NSANGI NAKISUNGA-NTENJERU ENTEBBE Widening Existing Cores to become Satellite Towns Developing New Satellites Towns

  9. KCCA • Physical Development Plan • 7Factors of KCCA Urban Form • Transportation System. • Subdivision. • PopulationDistribution • Landscape and Nature. • City Spatial Economy & Services • City Center & C.B.D. • ImprovingResidential Areas.

  10. GKMA Population Long Term Capacity (= “best case”) NANGABO 460,000 WAKISO- NABWERU MUKONO- GOMA-KIRA 810,000 1,010,000 NAKISUNGA-NTENJERU SSISA- NSANGI 1,040,000 770,000 B CZ (KCCA) ENTEBBE- KATABI 3,580,000 300,000 SSISA- KATABI C 150,000 A D CZ (KCCA) F E G

  11. Working assumptions – population for 2022from 1.9 to 3.6 M in 10 years

  12. GKMA Transportation X Automobile Oriented Development Transit Oriented Development CHOICE MRT + New Roads System

  13. List of surveys • Travel Habit Survey with GPS – 2,000 HH • PT inventory – 147 parks and 447 routes • O -D on PT - >7,000 pax. Mainly during AM peak with daily and weekend • Taxi Departure frequencies – in all bus parks for AM peak • Classified traffic counts - > 40 locations, mainly AM but also daily and weekend • Corridor pax. Counts - >40 locations, AM peak with daily and weekend • GPS travel time and route – on all taxi routes • Road network attributes – for all links in the TDM

  14. Travel behavior • Low mobility – average of 2.3 trip per person/day, but poor people do less trips/day • Most trips are by walking –but poor people do more than 50% of their trips by walking • Poor people are forced to walk because they can’t afford to use public transport or cars. They need to spend 22% of their available income on transport as oppose to 10% recommended by the WB • Poor people have low mobility and low accessibility to opportunities & activities

  15. Similar findings across SSA

  16. Bodaboads Account for 42.4% of vehicles on the road, but carry 8.5% of the passengers (2011)

  17. PT costs • PT operation is not subsidized in Uganda, so taxi owner should cover O&M costs and make revenue from cash-box revenue • On the average, number of daily paying pax/day-taxi of 14 seats is ~100 • In BRT systems, number of passengers per bus-day is 1,000-3,000, so single ticket fare can be reduced • The introduction of multi-trips ticket (monthly, daily) will reduce even more the cost for heavy users

  18. Road safety and pedestrian in kampala It is also very unsafe to be poor in Kampala

  19. The updated TDM • Number of TAZ- 170 • MODEL IS TOUR BASED RATHER THAN TRIP BASED • CURRENT MODEL IS MAINLY CALIBRATED FOR AUTO TRIPS BUT INCLUDES ALSO TAXI ROUTES, MATRIX AND COUNTS • MODEL ESTIMATE ALSO BODA-BODA AND WALKING

  20. Main problems

  21. Transportation System- Vision An Integrated, Sustainable and Safe Transport System providing Accessibility to basic services to all residents in an Affordable manner.

  22. Objectives - 1 • At least 80% of the trips in KCCA region will be done with sustainable modes (walking, cycling, modern bus or rail system) • At least 50% of all trips in KCCA region should be non-motorized (walking, cycling) • At least 80% of all walking trips should be done on paved walkways that are physically separated from the motorized traffic • There should be at least 200 km of cycling lanes in KCCA, networked, separated and protected from the general traffic • Number of fatalities in road accidents should be reduced by at least 50% compared with 2011 results .

  23. Objectives - 2 • MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) system should be affordable and cost no more than 12% of the available household monthly income of low income people • At least 60% of KCCA residents in 2020 should be able to walk to the nearest mass rapid transport stop (i.e. BRT) less than 1 km and 90% should be able to walk less than 3 km • At least 80% of all employment and local service opportunities in KCCA region should be located no more than 2 km from a mass rapid stop • Each person in KCCA should be able to access basic service (elementary and secondary school, health service and basic shopping)by walking no more than 2 km

  24. Objectives - 3 • At least 50% of all motorized trips in KCCA region should be made on arterial roads that provide good mobility. These roads should have no parking along the road • Each new major land use development within KCCA should be evaluated using TIA - traffic impact assessment procedure, and if traffic situation is deteriorating, mitigation measures should be identified and financed by the developers • Level of air pollution and GHG emission caused by road transport will be reduced by 50% from its current level • Decisions regarding investments in transport infrastructure should be made based upon cost-benefit analysis, where benefits derived from up-to-date TDM

  25. Proposed urban transport strategy for kampala

  26. Short term activities - walkways • Identify all current major walking routes (i.e. routes with more than 1,000 pedestrian per hour per direction). Review the available walking infrastructure and prepare detailed design for the provision of adequate walkway infrastructure. • For each proposed BRT station, identify relevant walkways routes in a radius on 2 km from the station, and design and construct the walkways • For each local center, identify walkways in a radius of 2 km, design and construct the walkways • Adopt new geometric design standards for urban roads that include necessary width for separated and paved walkways along the street. • In any new or reconstructed urban road include proper walkway in the cross section.

  27. Short term activities - cycling • Identify main potential cycling routes that will connect major residential locations to main and local activity centers. Prepare a master plan for cycling routes for KCCA for 2022 that will include at least 200 km • Adopt best international geometric design standards • in every new road introduce cycling lanes as a standard part of the overall cross section • Develop a comprehensive communication strategy and comprehensive cycling outreach program, to include all major employers in KCCA. Identify potential infrastructure needs (i.e. bicycle parking facilities and bicycle lanes leading to these locations) and prepare a plan to provide these facilities. • Select carefully a pilot project, construct the necessary lanes and parking facilities, and launch communication campaign to increase awareness and usage. • Conduct “before-after” surveys and draw conclusions from the pilot project

  28. Short term activities – traffic management • Relocation of the main taxi stage (Old park and new park) away from the centre and relocating of the smaller taxi stages off the main roads • Introducing new on-street parking regulations especially along the main roads. • Evacuating all commercial activities that encroach the roads' ROW • Redesign of traffic circles that reached capacity in city centre and replacing them with traffic signals • Introduce warrants fo signalization and introduce traffic control centre and many new signals • Maintain proper marking and signing • Restructuring taxi routes to reduce number of taxis along main roads

  29. Short term activities – institutional measures • Establish MATA that will include planning and modeling dept. as well as strong PT regulation and operation • Introduce TIA procedure using the updated TDM • Adopt CBA procedure to rvaluate and prioritize investments • Integrate land use and transport

  30. Mid term activities – integrated PT • Approve PT master plan and secure the necessary ROW. Master plan should explore bus and rail modes • Introduce integrated ticketing with new fare structure • Restructure taxi network to feed and support MRT • Develop professional capacity especially for regulating PT

  31. Public Transport System • Mass Transit –BRT system as the core of public transport service. Urban Light Rail service on corridors where it is viable • Urban bus transport network • . Feeder service- Role of Minibus • Walking and Cycling

  32. Transportation System –Metropolitan BRT System Based mainly on existing corridors

  34. Planned BRT Corridors

  35. BRT integration with other urban bus network

  36. Map : Proposed metropolitan road system Mid and long term activities – road network • We considered the following road network for GKMA

  37. Mid-long term activities – population and assignment results for 2022-2040

  38. Map : Urban Freeway Mid term activities – urban freeway • We propose to use the current rail corridor to construct urban freeway, combined with option for double track rail operation. This is essential for both transport and urban purposes

  39. Mid term activities – urban freeway
