Dear Kumudu Kusum Kumara

You might start with the chapter on "TDM in Developing Regions" of our
Online TDM Encyclopedia, available at http://www.vtpi.org. It references
several studies of transportation impacts in developing countries, and ways
to create more affordable and balanced transportation systems, meaning that
there are a variety of modes to choose from. Also see chapters on
nonmotorized transportation, transit improvements, shuttle services,
transportation choice, and equity impacts.

Best wishes.
