Additional details on cities and projects used as case studies are given in the accompanying tables. The challenge for the Bank is to assist client cities in providing transport infrastructure and services that respond to demographic, spatial and economic growth in ways that balance the many different competing interests. Reflecting the importance that poverty and environmental factors are given in its development lending, the key strategic goal of the Bank is to protect and nurture public transport services and non-motorized transport modes, with underlying meta-objectives of equity and sustainability. In the policy dimension, the following approach features: (i) the equitable allocation of existing/new street space to protect and nurture public transport, and non-motorized modes; (ii) a for-the market rather than in the market, on the street competitive model for public transport, with services operated by the private sector under strong public regulation, and oversight; (iii) a financially viable public transport system, with affordable fares commensurate with costs, and any necessary subsidies targeted to those in need; (iii) appropriate user charges for urban roads (parking and traffic); and (iv) feedback from transport demand to resource mobilization from within the sector. The investment dimension of the approach is increasingly oriented towards the provision and rehabilitation of public transport systems operating on exclusive rights of way, both roadway and rail-based, because of their potential for efficient, high-quality services as well as for being a vehicle for progress on several policy fronts. The final chapter illustrates a variety of ways in which this framework is reflected in the design of actual Bank-funded urban transport projects.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS ROADSACCESSIBILITYACCIDENTSAFFORDABLE FARESAIRAIR POLLUTIONARTERIAL ROADSAUTO TRIPSBICYCLE PATHSBICYCLESBIKE PARKINGBIKEWAYSBOTTLENECKSBUSBUS FLEETBUS LANESBUS NETWORKBUS SERVICEBUS USEBUSESCAPITAL SUBSIDIESCARCAR OWNERSHIPCAR OWNERSHIP RATESCAR USECARSCENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICTCENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICTSCITY STREETSCLASSES OF VEHICLESCLEAN FUELSCLIMATE CHANGECOMMUTER RAILCONGESTION CHARGECONGESTION CHARGESCONGESTION CHARGINGCONGESTION MANAGEMENTCOST OF ROAD USECOSTS OF CONGESTIONCOSTS OF VEHICLESCROSSINGCYCLISTSDRIVINGEMISSIONENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSEXPRESSWAYSEXTERNALITIESFARE AFFORDABILITYFARE INCREASESFARE REVENUEFARESFINANCIAL INCENTIVEFIXED COSTSFLEET REPLACEMENTFLEETSFREIGHTFREIGHT TRAFFICFUELFUEL TAXFUEL TAXATIONFUEL TAXESGREENHOUSE GASESHIGH FARESHIGH TRANSPORTHIGHWAYHIGHWAY INVESTMENTHOUSEHOLD BUDGETSINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINTERSECTIONSLAND USELAND USE PATTERNSLANESLIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAYSLOCAL AIR POLLUTIONLOCAL AIR QUALITYLONG-DISTANCEMASS RAPID TRANSITMASS TRANSITMOBILITYMODAL PLANNINGMODAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTMODAL SPLITMODAL SYSTEMMOTOR VEHICLEMOTOR VEHICLE MOBILITYMOTOR VEHICLESMOTORWAYSMULTIMODAL TRANSPORTMUNICIPAL TRAFFICNATIONAL TRANSPORTNOISEPASSENGER TRAVELPASSENGER TRIPSPASSENGERSPASSENGERS PER HOURPATRONAGEPEAK PERIODSPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN CROSSINGSPEDESTRIANSPOLLUTION COSTSPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE MOTOR VEHICLESPRIVATE TRANSPORTPRIVATE VEHICLEPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC OWNERSHIPPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT AUTHORITYPUBLIC TRANSPORT FARESPUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC TRANSPORT INVESTMENTSPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODESPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKSPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATIONSPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATORSPUBLIC TRANSPORT PASSENGERSPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SUBSIDIESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESPUBLIC UTILITIESPUBLIC WORKSRADIAL CORRIDORSRAILRAIL NETWORKRAILWAYRAPID TRANSITRAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMSRE-ALLOCATION OF ROADRE-ALLOCATION OF ROAD SPACERIGHT OF WAYRING ROADRING ROADSROADROAD BUILDINGROAD CHARGESROAD DESIGNROAD DESIGN STANDARDSROAD IMPROVEMENTSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD INVESTMENTROAD NETWORKROAD PROJECTSROAD SPACEROAD SYSTEMROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROAD USERROAD USER CHARGESROAD USER CHARGINGROADWAYROUTEROUTESSAFETYSIDEWALKSSPEEDSSTREET PARKINGSTREET PARKING CHARGESSTREET SPACESTREETSSUBURBSSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTTAXTAXISTOLLSTRAFFICTRAFFIC CALMINGTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC ENGINEERINGTRAFFIC GROWTHTRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENTTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC OPERATIONSTRAFFIC PATTERNSTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC RESTRAINTTRAFFIC SAFETYTRAMTRAMWAYTRANSIT INVESTMENTSTRANSIT SYSTEMSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ACTIVITIESTRANSPORT ACTIVITYTRANSPORT AUTHORITIESTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT DEMANDTRANSPORT EMISSIONSTRANSPORT EXPENDITURESTRANSPORT FACILITIESTRANSPORT FUNDINGTRANSPORT IMPROVEMENTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT MARKETSTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT NETWORKTRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRANSPORT PROBLEMSTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT REGULATIONTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORT USERSTRAVEL DEMANDTRAVEL PATTERNSTRAVEL TIMETRAVEL TIMESTRAVELERSTRIPTRUEUNDERGROUNDURBAN ROADURBAN ROADSURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT PLANNINGURBAN TRANSPORT POLICYURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMSURBAN TRAVELVEHICLEVEHICLE EMISSIONVEHICLE EMISSIONSVEHICLE OWNERSHIPVEHICLE TRAFFICVEHICLE USEVEHICLE USERSWALKERSWALKINGWEALTH10.1596/17411
