Chapter three to nine elaborate on the issues and policy recommendations for each of the components of the strategy: organization and operation of public transport systems (chapter three), investment policy in urban transport (chapter four), traffic management policy (chapter five), introducing travel demand management (chapter six), strengthening traffic enforcement (chapter seven), building urban transport institutions (chapter eight), affordability of urban transport services and financing policy (chapter nine). Finally a last chapter (ten) presents a priority action program including selected coherent mix of policy actions and cost effective investments to be implemented in the short and medium terms to initiate a process of long term improvements of the UT conditions and operations in Cairo metropolitan.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCIDENTSAFFORDABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIRPORTARTERIAL STREETSAVERAGE TRAFFIC SPEEDSBUSBUS COMPANYBUS FACILITIESBUS FARESBUS NETWORKBUS PRIORITYBUS PRIORITY MEASURESBUS ROUTEBUS ROUTESBUS SERVICESBUS STOPSBUS SYSTEMBUS TRANSPORTBUSESCAPITAL INVESTMENTCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCARCAR OWNERSHIPCAR USECARBON EMISSIONCARSCENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICTCOMMUTER LINESCOMMUTER RAILCONGESTIONCONGESTION CHARGINGCONGESTION PRICINGDAILY TRIPSDEMAND FOR TRANSPORTDIESELDIESEL FUELSDRAINAGEDRIVER TRAININGDRIVINGECONOMIES OF SCALEEFFICIENT TRANSPORTENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC RULESEXPRESSWAYSFARE CHANGESFARE COLLECTIONFARE LEVELSFARE POLICYFIXED RAILFUELFUEL PRICESFUEL TAXFUEL TAX INCREASESGASOLINEHIGH TRANSPORTINFRASTRUCTURE FINANCINGINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSJOURNEYLAND TRANSPORTLANESLIGHT RAILLIGHT RAIL SYSTEMLIGHT RAIL SYSTEMSMASS RAPID TRANSITMASS TRANSITMASS TRANSIT SYSTEMMETROPOLITAN TRANSPORTMINI-BUSMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOBILITYMODAL SHIFTMODAL SPLITMODE OF TRAVELMODES OF TRAVELMOTOR VEHICLEMOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTSNOISENOISE LEVELSNOISE POLLUTIONPASSENGER TRIPSPASSENGERSPASSENGERS PER HOURPATRONAGEPEAK PERIODSPEAK TRAVELPEDESTRIANPEDESTRIAN FACILITIESPEDESTRIANSPOLICEPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPRIVATE TRANSPORTPRIVATE VEHICLEPUBLIC PASSENGER TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT CAPACITYPUBLIC TRANSPORT FARESPUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC TRANSPORT INVESTMENTSPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODESPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATIONSPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICEPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SUPPLYPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSPUBLIC TRANSPORT TRIPSPUBLIC TRANSPORT USERSPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONRAILRAIL LINERAIL LINESRAIL NETWORKSRAIL SERVICESRAILWAYRAPID TRANSITRING ROADROADROAD ACCIDENTSROAD DEATHSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD SPACEROAD SYSTEMROAD TRANSPORTROAD USERSROADSROLLING STOCKROUTESSTREET INTERSECTIONSSTREET PARKINGSTREET PARKING MANAGEMENTSTRICTER ENFORCEMENTSUBURBAN RAILSUBURBSTAXI DRIVERSTAXI LICENSESTAXI OPERATORSTAXI SERVICESTAXISTOLLTOLL ROADTOLL ROADSTOLLSTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC CONTROLTRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICESTRAFFIC DEMANDTRAFFIC ENFORCEMENTTRAFFIC ENGINEERINGTRAFFIC LANESTRAFFIC LEVELSTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURESTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEMTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC REGULATIONSTRAFFIC SAFETYTRAFFIC SIGNALTRAMTRAM LINETRAM SYSTEMTRAM SYSTEMSTRAMWAYTRANSIT SYSTEMSTRANSPORT AUTHORITYTRANSPORT CHOICESTRANSPORT CONDITIONSTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT DEMANDTRANSPORT FACILITIESTRANSPORT FARESTRANSPORT FINANCETRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INVESTMENTTRANSPORT INVESTMENTSTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT PLANTRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT PROBLEMSTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORT SUBSIDIESTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION AUTHORITYTRANSPORTATION CORRIDORSTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATION PLANTRANSPORTATION PROBLEMSTRANSPORTATION PROGRAMSTRANSPORTATION SERVICESTRANSPORTATION STUDYTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSTRAVEL DEMANDTRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENTTRAVEL SPEEDSTRIPTRIPSTRUEUNDERGROUNDURBAN PASSENGERURBAN PASSENGER TRANSPORTURBAN ROADURBAN ROAD CAPACITYURBAN ROADSURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT POLICYURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMSURBAN TRANSPORTATIONURBAN TRAVELVEHICLE OCCUPANCYVEHICLE OWNERSVEHICLESVOLUME OF TRAFFICWorld Bank10.1596/12629
