About the Course
The project entails a comprehensive overhaul of urban transport infrastructure along a designated corridor through integrated corridor management (ICM) strategies, encompassing a transition to a franchise model for bus operations, modernization of the bus fleet with a focus on e-buses, and financial viability assessments. It aims to mitigate traffic congestion by enhancing traffic control systems, promoting non-motorized transport (NMT) usage, and fostering transit-oriented development. Detailed assessments of NMT usage around Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations, alongside analyses of general traffic patterns and safety measures, inform the development of baseline conditions and improvement opportunities. Climate and disaster risk assessments are integrated to ensure resilient urban transport solutions, while mapping current land-use arrangements and public space usage facilitates optimized pedestrian and public transport access. Collaborative efforts with stakeholders, including capacity building for the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC), underpin the project's goal of enhancing urban mobility, reducing congestion, and promoting sustainable transport modes to improve overall quality of life for corridor residents.
