Dear Friends,

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in association with IIT
Delhi has brought out a new report (Aug 2013) on Non-Motorized Transport
(NMT) in India titled, "NMT Infrastructure in India: Investment, Policy and
Design" as part of their ‘Promoting Low Carbon Transport in India’ project.
The report identifies gaps in the implementation of policy for NMT-use in
Indian cities. Titled 'NMT Infrastructure in India: Investment, Policy and
Design,' the study evaluates policy and design interventions for the
implementation of NMT projects in Indian cities and considers their impact
on road users. It highlights that, despite the declining patterns of
walking and bicycling over the last two decades, NMT is still a dominant
mode of transport in Indian cities. The report finds that major gaps exist
at the level of data collection and demand estimation for non-motorised
traffic.
