Its purpose was to gather information in terms of size, regional spread, and availability data, that would allow identification of issues affecting urban mobility in the related cities, and prepare action plans, that would lead to policy reforms. This report focuses on the findings of such study, stipulating a keen awareness in each city, that many of the urban transport problems arise because of lack of leadership, and coordination, not just because of poor funding, which is of course a problem, and, further highlights the inability of organizational structures to respond in a coherent, and focused manner. The report concludes that the only way to derive significant improvements in the performance of the urban transport sector, is to reorganize the way in which urban transport is planned, and developed. Technical interventions should then have a greater chance of achieving a positive impact on the urban transport sector.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORTATION FINANCEURBAN TRANSPORTATION POLICYORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURECOORDINATE SYSTEMREORGANIZATIONTRANSPORT PLANNINGCASE STUDIESPROGRAM IMPLEMENTATIONRESEARCH PLANNINGMUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTUREEQUIPMENT MANAGEMENTTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEROAD MAINTENANCE & REPAIRACCESSIBILITYACCIDENT DATAARTERIAL ROADSBANKING SYSTEMBICYCLE OWNERSHIPBICYCLESBUSBUS COMPANYBUS OPERATIONSBUS SERVICESBUS TRANSPORTBUSESCAR OWNERSHIPCITIESCITY ADMINISTRATIONCITY BUSCITY POPULATIONCITY ROADSCITY TRANSPORTCOMMUTERSCOMMUTINGCOMPETING ROUTESCONGESTIONCONVENTIONAL BUSCONVENTIONAL BUSESCULTURAL NORMSCYCLINGDECENTRALIZATIONDECENTRALIZATION PROCESSDRIVERSDRIVINGEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT GENERATIONENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDSENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTIONEQUITY CAPITALEXTERNALITIESFARE INCREASESFARE REVENUESFATALITIESFLAT FARESFRAMEWORKFUELHIGH-RISE BUILDINGSINCOMEINFORMAL TRANSPORTINJURIESINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERSECTIONSJUNCTIONSLAND USELOAN FINANCINGLOW FARESMARKET ENTRYMINI- BUSESMINI-BUSESMINIBUSMODAL SPLITMOTOR CYCLESMOTOR VEHICLEMUNICIPALITIESNEW ENTRANTSNMTOPERATING COSTSOPERATING SURPLUSOUTER RING ROADOVERTAKINGPARKINGPASSENGERPEAK HOURSPEAK PERIODSPEDESTRIAN FACILITIESPEDESTRIANSPERIPHERAL AREASPOLICEPOLICEMENPOTHOLESPRIVATE OPERATORSPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC TRANSITPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT MARKETPUBLIC TRANSPORT PASSENGERSPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICEPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMREGULATORY FRAMEWORKROAD ACCIDENTSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD SAFETYROAD SPACEROAD TRAFFICROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTSROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT INDUSTRYROADSROUTESSAFETY COUNCILSAFETY STANDARDSSIGNSSTAKEHOLDERSSUBSIDIARYTARTAXATIONTAXISTOTAL TRIPSTRAFFICTRAFFIC ACCIDENTSTRAFFIC FLOWTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRANSPORTTRANSPORT DEVELOPMENTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMSTRUNK CORRIDORURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN GROWTHURBAN MOBILITYURBAN PLANNINGURBAN POORURBAN SECTORURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT ACTIVITIESURBAN TRANSPORT COMPONENTURBAN TRANSPORT POLICIESURBAN TRANSPORT POLICYURBAN TRANSPORT PROBLEMSURBAN TRANSPORT SECTORURBAN TRAVELVEHICLE DESIGN STANDARDSVEHICLE INSPECTIONVEHICLESWALKING10.1596/17691
