The goal of special autonomy was to help Papua and Papuans catch up to the rest of Indonesia in terms of living standards and opportunities. Yet, now almost a decade later, and after the split into two provinces: Papua and West Papua, progress toward this goal has been slow. In recognition of this, the Indonesian central government issued presidential instruction 5-2007 on the acceleration of development of Papua and West Papua instructing all relevant technical ministries to devote special attention to the two provinces and to coordinate their programs with the governors of both provinces. Transport is a key piece of the development puzzle and is a high priority for all levels of government in Papua and West Papua. Yet, despite this, and large amounts of investment channeled toward the sector, the people of Papua and West Papua are not receiving substantially better transportation services than they were before special autonomy. This report aims to set out a set of priorities that transport development must follow in Papua and West Papua if investments are to be productive and remain useful for their entire design life.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCELERATIONACCESS CHANNELSACCESS ROADSACCESSIBILITYAFFORDABLE TRANSPORTAIRAIR CARGOAIR NAVIGATIONAIR NAVIGATION SERVICESAIR TRAFFICAIR TRANSPORTAIR TRANSPORT SECTORAIR TRANSPORT SYSTEMAIRCRAFTAIRCRAFT CERTIFICATIONAIRLINE COMPANYAIRLINE INDUSTRYAIRPORTAIRPORT DEVELOPMENTAIRPORTSALLUVIUMALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTARTERIAL ROADARTERIAL ROAD NETWORKASPHALTASPHALT PAVEMENTAVIATION SECTORBRIDGEBRIDGESBUSBUS TERMINALBUSESCARRYING CAPACITYCARSCEMENTCONCESSIONSCONCRETECONGESTIONCONNECTING ROADSCOST EFFECTIVENESSCROSSINGSDISTRICT ROADSDREDGINGEARTH ROADSEROSIONEXPENDITURES ON ROADSFARE LEVELFARESFERRIESFRAMEWORKFREIGHTFUELSGRAVELGRAVEL ROADGRAVEL ROADSHEAVY RELIANCEHIGH TRANSPORTHIGHWAYINCOMEINFRASTRUCTURE COSTINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURESINLAND WATERWAYINLAND WATERWAY TRANSPORTINLAND WATERWAYSJETTIESLAND TRANSPORTLAND USELANDLORD PORTLANDSLIDESLENGTH OF ROADLOAD FACTORSMAIN ROADSMEANS OF TRANSPORTMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOBILITYMODAL COORDINATIONMODES OF TRANSPORTMOTOR CYCLESMOTOR VEHICLESMOTORCYCLESMOUNTAINOUS TERRAINMULTIMODAL TRANSPORTNATIONAL ROADSOVERLAYPASSENGERPASSENGER CARSPASSENGER FARESPASSENGER MOVEMENTSPASSENGER SERVICESPASSENGER TRANSPORTPASSENGER VEHICLEPASSENGERSPATHSPAVED ROADSPAVEMENTPEATPERIODIC MAINTENANCEPOPULATION DENSITYPORT AUTHORITIESPORT FACILITIESPRIVATE OPERATORSPROFIT MARGINPROVINCIAL ROADSPUBLIC ROADPUBLIC ROAD NETWORKPUBLIC ROADSPUBLIC WORKSRAILRECONSTRUCTIONREGIONAL TRANSPORTREGISTERED AIRLINESRESURFACINGROADROAD ACCESSROAD AGENCIESROAD AGENCYROAD ASSETSROAD BUILDINGROAD BUILDING POLICIESROAD CONNECTIONSROAD CONSTRUCTIONROAD DENSITYROAD DEVELOPMENTROAD EXPENDITURESROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD LENGTHROAD LINKSROAD MAINTENANCEROAD MANAGEMENTROAD MARKINGSROAD NETWORKROAD NETWORKSROAD PAVEMENTROAD PROJECTSROAD REHABILITATIONROAD SURFACEROAD SYSTEMROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROAD USEROAD USERROAD USER CHARGESROAD USERSROAD WORKSROADSROUTEROUTESROUTINE MAINTENANCEROUTINE ROAD MAINTENANCERUNWAYRURAL AREASSAFETYSAFETY ISSUESSHARINGSIGNALIZATIONSOCIAL IMPACTSSOILSSPEEDSTEEP HILLSSTEEP SLOPESTAXTAXI OPERATIONSTERRAINTOPOGRAPHYTRACKSTRAFFIC DEMANDTRAFFIC FLOWSTRAFFIC LEVELSTRAFFIC LIGHTSTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC VOLUMETRAFFIC VOLUMESTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ACCESSTRANSPORT AGENCIESTRANSPORT COSTTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT DEMANDTRANSPORT IMPROVEMENTTRANSPORT INDUSTRYTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INVESTMENTSTRANSPORT MODETRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT OF GOODSTRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT POLICY INITIATIVESTRANSPORT REQUIREMENTSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION SERVICESTRIPTRIP LENGTHTRUCKINGTRUCKSVEHICLEVEHICLE FLEETVEHICLE OPERATINGVEHICLE OPERATING COSTSVILLAGE ROADSWEALTHWorld Bank10.1596/3140
