EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Final CMP Executive Summary
Executive Summary
0.1. INTRODUCTION
Jammu, the winter capital of J&K is located in the northern part of India. It lies about
600 km to the north-west of Delhi and about 290 km to the south of Srinagar. It is
inhabited along the Tawi River which flows from east to west direction and divides
the city in two parts. It has a distinct image due to its heritage, location and linkages.
The city is famous for its heritage and culture and has many historic places like
Mubarak Mandi, Purani Mandi, Rani park, Amar Mahal, Bahu Fort, Raghunath
temple, Ranbireshwar temple, Peer Meetha etc. The city also receives a large
number of tourists going to Mata Vaishno Devi shrine throughout the year.
The population of Jammu City grew from 1.6 lakh in 1971 to 5.1 lakh in 2011 and
population of Planning area was 12.8 lakh in 2011. The Study area population in
2019 is about 14.9 Lakh.
Government of Jammu and Kashmir has decided to undertake a comprehensive

study to plan an efficient, safe and high capacity public transport Infrastructure in
Jammu. For the purpose RITES Ltd. (A Govt. of India Enterprise) has been engaged to
prepare/update the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) for Jammu as per Metro
Rail Policy – 2017.
0.1.1. Study Area and Objectives
The Jammu Revised Master Plan – 2032 area i.e. geographic area within jurisdiction
of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), Jammu Cantonment Board, Bari Brahmana,
Nagrota, Vijaypur, Bishna and intervening villages is taken as study area. The Study
area is spread over an area of about 652 sq.km including the Jammu Municipal
Corporation area of 112 sq. km (Figure 0.1).
The vision of the CMP is to achieve safe, efficient, reliable and seamless mobility of
people and goods in Jammu city and to make it a model city. The objectives of CMP
are:
To optimize the “mobility pattern of people and goods” rather than of vehicles
To focus on the improvement and promotion of public transport, NMVs and
pedestrians, as important transport modes in Indian cities
To provide a recognized and effective platform for integrating land use and
transport planning
To focus on the optimization of goods movement
A low-carbon mobility growth scenario for the city
Equity to all sections of the society including urban poor and differently-abled

0.2. REVIEW OF CITY PROFILE
0.2.1. Existing Transport System
Jammu is connected by NH-44 (old NH-1A) with other parts of the country by road
network. NH-44 passes through Jammu and connects it to Srinagar (Kashmir valley)
which further connects Leh. The existing road network of Jammu is basically of radial
pattern. Five roads namely Srinagar Road, Pathankot Road, Akhnoor Road, R.S. Pura
RITES Ltd. Page 2

Road and Ambgrota Road (Bantalab Road) are converging to the city from different
directions.
Jammu is the northern most major railway head and is well connected to all State
Capitals of India by rail. It is also well connected to major cities like Srinagar, Delhi,
Leh, Mumbai, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Gwalior etc. by air services. Due to its locational
advantage, Jammu assumes importance on the linkage corridor to Salal Project,
Rajouri, Poonch, Kishtwar, Doda, Akhnoor, Katra, Kathua and Udhampur serves as
the gateway to Kashmir valley.
0.2.2. Registered Motor Vehicles
The registered vehicles in Jammu have increased significantly over the years. The
numbers of vehicle registration per year have almost doubled from 0.34 Lakh to 0.59
Lakh in the last nine years. This high density and rapid growth of vehicles have
worsened the transport situation to a significant extent. The increase of modes
demands on road has resulted in dense concentration of traffic on roads. The
registered vehicle from year 2010-2018 is presented in Figure 0.2.

0.2.3. Tourist Traffic

Tourism has played a pivotal role in the development of the state economy. Jammu a
city of temples enjoys a transitory status and has lately become the main base camp
for pilgrims of Katra- Vaishno Devi pilgrimage. The city is also a tourist hub to
number of places like Patnitop, Shiv Khori, Shadara Sharief, Mansar, Chichi Mata, etc.
Tourists from all over the world visit Jammu round the year. Figure 0.3 shows
number of tourists at various tourist destinations in the last eight years.

0.2.4. Landuse Characteristics - Master Plan 2032

The proposed land use distribution clearly suggests thrust on the development of
residential areas and a continued thrust on commercial development to boost the
local economy. Transport continues to occupy a significant share of the land in the
city. The land-use plan as per Master Plan 2032 is shown in Figure 0.4.
With regards the land use in 2011 about 9% of area is categorized as residential and
a significant 59% of land is under agricultural activities. On the other hand, the
proportion of commercial and industrial land use constitutes 4% and 1% respectively.
Only 2.9% of the land is under circulation which highlights the deficiency of road
network. A detailed comparison of land use distribution-2011 and 2032 is been given
in Table 0.1.

0.2.5. Traffic and Travel Surveys
Road network in Jammu is dominated by the roads with ROW of less than 20m. About 86%
of the road network has ROW less than 20m.
The city roads lack of footpaths. Only 8% of the surveyed road network has footpath
available reflecting the poor pedestrian infrastructure in the city.
About 51% of the total road network has journey speeds upto 20 kmph during peak hours.
This indicates congestion on roads which is mainly inside the core city. Only about 14% of
roads were found to have speed more than 30 Kmph during peak hours. Average journey
speed during peak period for a city as a whole is observed to be 20.1 kmph.
i. Terminal Characteristics
General Bus stand is the biggest bus terminal and caters to the maximum number of
passengers with 14,443 Boarding & 12,624 Alighting.
Jammu Tawi Railway Station caters to the maximum number of passengers with 20,681
Boarding & 18,938 Alighting.
ii. Parking Characteristics
Peak Parking Accumulation is observed to be the highest at Kachi Chhawni (210 E.C.S.)
followed by 126 ECS at Railway Station.
Parking Demand is observed to be the highest at Kachi Chhawni (713 E.C.S) followed by 419
ECS at Jammu Railway Station).
All the locations have distinct short term parking with negligible share of long term parking.
About 69% of cars are parked for short-term, 26% for medium-term and only 5% for long-
term. 2-wheeler parking of about 74%, 22% and 4% for short-term, medium-term and long-
term duration respectively.
iii. Travel Characteristics
The total daily trips in the study area are about 20.15 lakh. About 67% of trips are vehicular
trips while 33% are walk trips.
Average trip length of 5.1 km (including walk) and 7.2 km (excluding walk) is observed in
the study area.

0.2.6. Service Level Benchmarking
To facilitate comparison between cities and changes in performance over time, it is

important that the performance levels are monitored against set benchmarks. It is in this
context, that the toolkit defines SLBs for various parameters of urban transport. These
parameters highlight the performance of existing urban transport in the City. Typically, four
LOS viz. 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been specified, with 1 being highest LOS and 4 being lowest to
measure each identified performance benchmark. Therefore, the goal is to attain the
service level 1. SLBs have been identified for the following parameters:
Public transport facilities: Level of Service (LOS) of 18 suggesting that the City has un-
orgainsed public transport system and it needs to be city wide planned in an organized
manner.
Pedestrian infrastructure facilities: Level of Service (LOS) in the range between 10 and 12
indicating that the city lacks adequate pedestrian facilities.
Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) facilities: Level of Service (LOS) 12 indicating that the City
lacks adequate NMT facilities.
Level of usage of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) facilities: 19 LOS indicating that the city
lacks basic infrastructure as installation of traffic signals, Passenger Information System,
GPS at junctions.
Travel speed (Motorized and Mass Transit) along major corridors: The overall LOS of travel
speed obtained is 6. From the overall LOS it can be concluded that significant delays are
experienced due to high number of uncontrolled junctions in the city. Key corridors run at
low speeds due to traffic congestion, high level of encroachments and haphazard on-street
parking.
Availability of parking spaces: The level of Service (LOS) of Availability of Parking Spaces is 6.
From the overall LOS it can be concluded that the city lacks parking.
Road safety: The level of Service of Road Safety is 8. From the overall LOS it can be
concluded that Level of Fatality rate in a city is very high.
Pollution levels: The level of Service of Pollution Levels is 5. From the overall LOS it can be
concluded that as vehicle population is low in the city, SO2 and NOX are observed to be
within the permissible limits. However, RSPM levels are found to be severe.
Integrated land use transport system: The level of Service of integrated land use transport
system is 21 suggesting that there is a faint coherence between city structure and public
transport system.
Financial sustainability of public transport: The level of Service of financial sustainability of
public transport by bus is 12 suggesting that the public transport of the city is not
financially sustainable.
RITES Ltd. Page 7

0.3. DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS AS USUAL SCENARIO
Primary traffic and travel surveys have been carried out as part of the assignment to
establish/update the existing transport demand in the study area (Master Plan area).
Traditional 4 stage Urban Transport Planning System model process has been adopted that
consists of:
Trip Generation and Attraction Sub Models

Trip Distribution Sub Model
Modal Split Sub Models
Assignment Sub Models
i. Landuse Transitions
Landuse transitions have been taken into account while projecting the future years'
population and employment. The Jammu Master Plan 2032 has been taken as base for this
exercise. The estimation is done for both base year, 2019 and horizon years. Base year
parameters have been derived based on Census 2011, Master Plan 2032 and secondary
data collected from Jammu Municipal Corporation.
ii. Demographic Projection
Population Forecast based on the growth trends taken separately for Core, Middle, Outer
and special areas collectively forming the study area in addition to existing growth pattern

0.3.1. Development of Base Year Travel Demand Model
a. Model Structure
The model is mainly based on motorised trip productions / attractions and internal trips of
study area residents. These modes of travel (i.e. car, two wheeler, private auto-rickshaw &
public transport including bus, mini bus and shared auto) comprise about 20.15 Lakh daily
trips. The remaining trips reported in household interview survey (HIS) are those relating to
non-mechanised trips (walk, cycle and cycle rickshaw). Four sub models are developed viz.
Generation, Attraction, Distribution, Modal choice and Assignment models as illustrated in
Figure 0.5. Generation and Attraction models calculate trips generated and attracted by
each zone.
FIGURE 0.5: FOUR STAGE MODEL STRUCTURE
Distribution models distribute trips generated into the possible destinations and
provide matrix of total trips;
Modal choice models split total trip matrix by mode;
RITES Ltd. Page 9

Assignment models represent the last stage of the model, build paths, assign origin /
destination (OD) matrices, and finally provide loaded networks (average hour and
peak hour).
0.3.2. Development of Business As Usual (BAU) Scenario, 2044

Considering the above assumptions and calibrated / validated traffic demand model,
forecasting of transport demand has been carried out for ‘Business as Usual’ (BAU)
scenario in the year 2044.
The intra city motorized trips modal split (% of trips by public transport to total motorized
trips) in favor of public transport in 2044 is expected to be about 32.4% which is even lower
than the existing modal share. The total no. of PT trips will increase from 8.1 Lakh to about
13.2 Lakh indicating a high capacity mass transport network will be needed to address the
travel demand requirements in the Study area.
0.3.3. Development of Sustainable Urban Transport (SUT) Scenarios

Business As Usual (BAU) scenario with decreasing share of public transport, Non Motorized
Transport (NMT) and Walk, will not lead the city towards national goals of sustainable
transport and climate change. In order to achieve these goals, Landuse, Public Transport,
NMT and Technological Transitions have been considered as strategies for developing
various Sustainable Urban Transport (SUT) scenarios. It is expected that adoption of SUT
scenario will fulfill the objective of enhancing economic and social development while
mitigating CO2 emissions within the City. This will enable the city to handle the mobility
challenges while considering the climate change and local environment. The SUT scenarios
are based on following principles:
• Urban Structure Scenario: Intensive development along high demand PT corridors.

• Public Transport Scenario: In addition to Scenario 1, augmentation of PT system.
• Non Motorized Transport Scenario: In addition to Scenario 1 and 2, augmentation of
NMT/walk facilities.
• Technology Transition Scenario: in addition to Scenarios 1, 2 and 3, possible shift to
alternative fuels through use of highly efficient technologies.
On the basis of above analysis, a comparative picture has been drawn to assess the impact
each scenario has on the travel pattern and environment. Following parameters have been
taken into account for preparing a comparative picture among various scenarios:
Modal Share: Change in share of various modes, with increase in share of Public
Transport and NMT modes and decrease in modal share of private modes indicates a
sustainable future.
Trip Length: Shorter trip lengths indicate shorter time spent in commuting between
two places whereas increase in trip length of a particular mode indicates preference to
RITES Ltd. Page 10

that particular mode due to availability of allied infrastructure.

Veh-km: Vehicle km travelled by each mode is the most tangible indicator for
comparing scenarios. For example, a scenario with highest vehicle km travelled by
car/2 wheelers in comparison to other scenarios, indicates an unsustainable future.
Environmental impacts will be positive for the city due to technology transition in
favour of electric vehicle.
The Table 0.4 presents the comparative picture for various scenarios.

CO2 emissions in 275 512 219 230 229 224
tons/day
The figures in the above table indicate the differences between various scenarios as follows:
Modal Share: The cumulative modal share of car and 2 wheelers is increasing from
26.6% under base year to 35.7% under the BAU scenario. However, scenarios
formulated under the Sustainable Urban Transport indicate decreasing mode share of
car and 2 wheelers with 34.5 share under Urban Structure scenario, 32.1% share under
RITES Ltd. Page 11

the Public Transport scenario and 32.0% share under the NMT scenario. The share of
public transport increases from 32.4% under BAU to 36.4% under Public transport
scenario.
Trip Length: The trip length of NMT remains constant (3.9 km) under Base Year and
NMT scenario. This is resultant of good NMT infrastructure in place and positively
affects the veh-km travelled by each mode as given under. The trip length of PT
increases from 3.9 km under Base Year to 6.1 km under PT scenario.
Veh-km: The veh-km by Car, 2 Wheelers and Private Auto is lower by approx 1.3 Lakh
under the NMT scenario as compared to BAU scenario.
CO2 Emissions per Day: As indicated above, with decrease in share of private motorized
trips, the CO2 emissions also reduce from BAU (512 Tonne/day) to PT scenario (230
Tonne/day) by about 55%. However, huge savings of are accrued from envisaged
change in the vehicle technologies from conventional fuel to electricity (224
Tonne/day) i.e. 19% lower than the base year and 56% lower than the BAU scenario.
0.3.4. CONCULSION
As evident from above analysis, the city is benefitted from NMT Scenario in terms of
increase in Modal Share, Trip Length and veh-km for NMT modes. However, considering
improvement in environment, the Technology Scenario is the most suited scenario for the
City as it includes the following benefits:
• Development of compact city

• Shorter trip lengths and improved access to public transport
• Reliable, comfortable and safe public transport
• Increase in modal share of walk and NMT
• Considerably lower emissions from all the other scenarios
As such, the Technology Scenario is recommended for next stage i.e. the Proposal
Formulation and Implementation Plan.
0.4. DEVELOPMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE MOBILITY PLAN
0.4.1. Integrated Land Use and Urban Mobility Plan
The Jammu Master Plan 2032 recommends maximum FAR of 2.1 for commercial areas. To
ensure intensive development along major mobility corridors envisaged under the present
Study, it is proposed that the FAR may be increased on the line of Master Plan 2032 and /or
as per the TOD guidelines that shall be finalized for the state of J&K.
RITES Ltd. Page 12

0.4.2. Formulation of Public Transport Improvement Plan
Public transportation system is planned to be a combination of a MRT corridors and

medium to low capacity feeder system. The trunk network is proposed for mass transport
operations and has been planned for development of intensive land use generating high
passenger demand.
i. Proposed Integrated Transport System:

The concept of multi-modal integration is to provide connectivity to the commuters
including last mile connectivity. The integrated public transport network for Jammu 2044 is
comprises of MRTS, city bus services, IPTs and bus terminals with integrated ticketing
system as presented in Figure 0.6. The details of individual system is describes in
subsequent paragraphs.
ii. Proposed Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) Corridors

Two high capacity travel demand corridor has been identified for MRTS in Jammu as shown
in Figure 0.7 & Table 0.5. The expected ridership of phase -1 MRTS corridor is about 16400
PHPDT in the year 2044.The Total length of proposed MRTS network is 46.0 km (Phase -1 is
23 km and Phase-2 is 23 km).

iii. Proposed City Bus System Plan
Under the public transport scenario, the existing public transport system is proposed to be
upgraded by introduction of reliable bus service with AC buses along all major roads,
providing more comfort and safety as compared to existing bus system. A total of 13 major
bus routes have been identified across Study Area on which bus based PT system is
proposed to be operated with more frequency AC bus services. These are the major route
carrying high capacity of travel demand that may be served by bus system. The total length
of identified bus system network is about 192 km. The proposed major routes for city bus
network are presented in Figure 0.8.
RITES Ltd. Page 15

FIGURE 0.8: CITY BUS ROUTE NETWORK
i. Bus Infrastructure Requirement
Presently, there are two main bus terminals in Jammu, one is B. C. Road Bus Terminal and
other is Railway Station Bus Terminal. All the inter-city buses presently originate and
terminate at these terminals. Terminal area of both is insufficient to cater to existing
operations. As a result, there is spill over of terminal activities on adjoining roads resulting
in congestion and chaos in the area.
As underlined in Master Plan -2032, To meet the future travel demand, three additional
intercity bus terminals are proposed on NH-44 near Purmandal Chowk, near Nagrota and
RITES Ltd. Page 16

on Akhnoor Road near Nagbani. For proper functioning, all these terminals are proposed to
be connected.
The existing B.C. Road bus terminal, which is under construction shall be used for intra-&
Inter-city bus operations and Jammu Railway station bus terminals will also be planned for
Intra-City & Intercity bus operations under phase I. The five bus terminals are proposed at
Panjtirthi, Purmanadal Chowk, Nagbani, Nagrota and Transport Nagar for smooth
functioning of bus system. The four bus depots are also proposed at Transport Nagar,
Nagrota, Nagbani and Purmandal Chowk. The details of these proposed terminals/depots
are presented in Figure 0.9.
FIGURE 0.9: PROPOSED BUS TERMINALS AND DEPOTS IN JAMMU
RITES Ltd. Page 17

0.5. Public Transport Connectivity to Jammu Metropolitan Regional Development Area
Government of Jammu & Kashmir has enacted a Metropolitan Regional Development

Authority (MRDA) for Jammu Region with an area of about 3185.5 sqkm. The study area for
CMP has been taken as the Jammu master Plan -2032 area of 652 sq km. However, JMRDA
Area has also been considered in general by providing the public transport connectivity to
the different parts of JMRDA from the main city transport system in phase II. The PT
connectivity plan from the main city to the other parts of JMRDA areas are planned in
Phase II and presented in Figure 0.10.
FIGURE 0.10 PUBLIC TRANSPORT CONNECTIVITY TO JMRDA AREA
RITES Ltd. Page 18

0.5.1. Road Network Development Plan
The proposed Master Plan exhibits a definitive hierarchy in its structure for proposed
road hierarchy.
0.5.2. A ring road of 6 lane divided carriageway is under construction which connects NH-
44 near Jakh in south and near Jagti township in the north of the Jammu city.
i. Spine Road- 60 m Wide

The proposed plan for the notified area has one major spine cutting across the area.
This central spine road is the existing NH-44 is to be 60 M wide, forming the
commercial/ recreational spine having high intensity development along it.
ii. Arterial Roads- 45 m Wide
The major arterial roads will be R.S. Pura Road having width of 45m. The Nagrota
Bye-Pass and the part of southern Bye-Pass (Gurah Salathian) will be 45m wide Road.
This Road is almost delineating the urban growth boundary.
iii. Sub-Arterial Roads- 24-30 m Wide
The sub-arterial roads are the internal link road that is creating the grid pattern road
network.1-1.5 km grid has been created for the 24m road and 1.5km-2 km grid has
been created for the 30m road.
0.5.3. About 100 km of road network has been identified for widening along with NMT
facilities across the city proposed to be upgraded in phase I. The proposed road
network is presented in Figure 0.11.
i. Proposed Cross Sections
Four typical cross-sections have been proposed for corridors of 18m, 30m, 45m, and
60m ROW. The details of the cross sections are presented in Figure 0.12.
0.5.4. NMT Facility Improvement Plan
The provision of NMT facilities in Jammu are proposed to be developed as a part of

the overall road development program Figure 0.11. It is also proposed to include
“Hawker Zones” along NMT infrastructure to decongest the major corridors and
commercial areas, ensure encroachment free footpaths and limit the anti social
elements by providing eyes on the roads.
ii. Proposed New Bridges and Widening of Existing Bridges
The mobility across River Tawi needs to be strengthened and improved. The city is
divided by Tawi River into two parts and is connected by four major bridges. The
traffic volume on all the existing bridges has already exceeded the threshold limit. In
RITES Ltd. Page 19

addition to the widening of existing bridges, some new bridges at various places are
proposed to be developed/ constructed in Phase I after carrying out their feasibility
on environmental account and presented in Figure 0.11 and Table 0.6.

0.6. FREIGHT MOVEMENT PLAN
The freight movement through the CBD is presently restricted on some important
arterials. The Narwal Bala Transport Nagar, Gangyal, Digiana and Bari Brahmana act
as important ITC Nodes. To decongest the existing Transport Nagar it is proposed to
provide new Integrated Freight Complex (IFCs) at the periphery of the city, with all
facilities of wholesale markets, loading/unloading facilities, parking, workshops etc.
All four existing ITCs are planned to be strengthen in phase I and IFCs one each at the
Pathankot Road near Raya Morh and the Akhnoor Road near Gajan Singhpur need to
be developed in the phase II. This proposal will facilitate the developing an outer
Bye-Pass will help diversion of through freight traffic in the city area. The purpose is
to completely segregate the freight and local traffic by locating direction oriented
freight terminals. The locations of the existing ITCs and proposed IFCs are presented
in Figure 0.13.
0.6.1. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURES
i. Parking Plan
The multilevel car parking in Phase I are proposed at DC office, B.C. Road Bus
terminal, Prem Nagar opposite to Maharaja Harisingh Park currently having surface
parking operated by JDA. In phase II at Jabah near to Bikram Chowk and Kacchi
Chhawni are proposed for multilevel car parking.
Off-street parking (surface parking) in phase I are proposed at Medical College, B.C.
Road, Jammu Railway Station, Mubarak Mandi, Gole Market Chowk and Jammu
Airport. Identified locations for the development of Short term and long term
RITES Ltd. Page 22

parking (Surface & Automated Multilevel Parking) as well as no parking streets in

Jammu are presented in Figure 0.14.
FIGURE 0.13: LOCATIONS OF EXISTING ITC AND PROPOSED INTEGRATED FREIGHT

COMPLEX
RITES Ltd. Page 23

FIGURE 0.14: PROPOSED PARKING LOCATIONS
ii. Traffic Control Measures
Some major junctions which cater heavy traffic and face congestion due to faulty
geometry and absence of traffic control measures have been identified for
signalization and improvement in junction geometry and grade separation (figure
0.15). The total 10 junctions have been identified for geometric improvement in
phase I are Medical Chowk, Panama Chowk, Railway Station Chowk, Indira Chowk,
Gole Market Chowk, Amphala Chowk, K. C. Chowk, Jewel Chowk , Canal Head Chowk
and Vivekananda Chowkand while 2 critical junctions are identified for grade
RITES Ltd. Page 24

separation in phase II are Kunjwani Chowk & Satwari Chowk . The improvements of
these junctions have been proposed based on the available data and site visits.
However, more detailed plans shall be worked out during the detailed study of these
locations and additional modifications could be suggested at that stage.
FIGURE 0.15: PROPOSED JUNCTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT
RITES Ltd. Page 25

iii. Traffic Safety Plan
To control the accident and fatality rates in the City, black spots or accident prone
areas need to be addressed on urgent basis. Following measures have been
recommended to handle the accident prone areas.
• Installation of speed tracking devices with video cameras near black spots.
• Setting up of stationary/mobile police posts near black spots.
• Installation of traffic lights at accident prone intersections.
• Centralized emergency setup to omit delay in case of an emergency.
• Redesign of intersections to remove engineering flaws
Apart from proposals for black spots, following measures are recommended to
improve safety and proposed to be implemented on priority:
• Helmets to be made compulsory for both rider and pillion

• Front row seat belts to be made compulsory.
• Cancellation of driving license at third incidence of fine.
• Active surveillance by police mobile vans/bikes.
• Strict enforcement of Pollution control measures.
• Installation of pollution control kiosks at all fuel stations.
• Public Awareness Programs
0.6.2. Regulatory and Institutional Measures
Following regulatory measures are required to bring in improvements in the present

scenario.
i. Transport Demand Management

Transportation Demand Management or TDM refers to various strategies that
change travel behavior in order to increase transport system efficiency. Table 0.7
gives the TDM Measures used worldwide to manage the transport demand in the
cities.
TABLE 0.7 TRANSPORT DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES

Type Of Measures Measure
Economic Measures Road user charging

Public transport promotion
Intensive development along major PT routes
Information for Travellers Travel Information before a trip is undertaken
Car Sharing
Administrative Measures Parking Controls
Pedestrianised Zones
Alternative working patterns (Flexi time etc.)
Different weekly offs days for various market areas
ii. Para Transit Improvement Plan
There is a necessity to effectively integrate operations of PT and IPT modes to give

ultimate benefit to the user and operator. This would require:
• Identification of areas of operation for IPT operation based on demand and road
network constraints. Major demand corridors have been identified as PT corridors
to be operated by Bus/ MRTS. IPT modes are proposed to operate on secondary/
tertiary roads to serve as feeder to PT corridors.
• Parking and terminal facilities for para-transit operation.
• Removal of disparity in fare structure followed by PT and IPT modes.
• Control on illegal operation of IPT modes.
• Driver Training, registration of only licensed drivers for driving of IPT modes are
some other areas that need immediate attention of concerned authorities to bring
improvements in IPT operation.
iii. Institutional Measures
It is proposed to form an organized agency in charge of providing transport services
in Jammu city. For that purpose, a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) may be set up as a
public-private partnership by way of granting route permits to private bus operators
to run their buses in the city. SPV may be formed with the following objectives:
• To create specialized and effective agency to monitor the intra-city public transport
system.
• To establish and maintain modern high capacity means of public transport.
• To develop support system for improving transport infrastructure.
iv. Enforcement Measures by Traffic Police
Strict enforcement by Police is required to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and
implementation of the proposals. Following measures are proposed for the same:
• Traffic education and public awareness programs on regular basis to educate the
public on traffic rules and their benefits.
• It is proposed that scheme of Traffic police on motorbikes to impose on the spot
fines on traffic offenders may be started to ensure traffic discipline in the city.
RITES Ltd. Page 27

• Heavy fines for habitual offenders

• Scheme of mobile courts to check on encroachments on traffic infrastructure and
to punish the habitual traffic offenders may also be introduced.
• To play the envisaged role in enforcement, the strengthening of Traffic Police is
recommended.
v. Need for Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA)
The study proposes that UMTA could be given a larger set of functions through
legislation, but be assigned these functions in stages, as the organization evolves and
builds capacity, and as higher level of acceptance is achieved about UMTA’s role
amongst key stakeholders. UMTA could thus first take up the range of functions that
today are the key gaps or overlaps and gradually it can look towards rationalizing
functions of existing agencies and taking over an appropriate group of functions. In
this light, UMTA may be assigned functions which lie between the aforesaid two
extremes arrangements, and less complex and feasible in operationalization. The
extent of functions involved under this arrangement are given below:
• Assist and advise government on urban transport matters

• Prepare, adapt and administer urban transport policies, strategies, standards and
guidelines for the urban area under its jurisdiction.
• Prepare a multi-modal transport master plan integrated with land use
• Preparation/Updation of Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP)
• Prepare Alternatives Analysis Report to identify best alternative MRTS mode on
Phase I network.
• Prepare a detailed multi-year program for urban transport
• Monitor and audit compliance with CMP and the Multi-year Programme
• Approve urban transport projects and activities
• Promote development of integrated facilities and systems for urban transport
• Oversee operation of integrated facilities and systems for public transport
• Contract public transport services so as to provide mobility and integrated public
transport
• License (issue permits for) public transport services
• Monitor and advise on fees and charges for roads, public transport, parking, and
other public transport facilities and services and regulate fares for urban bus
services
• Enforce regulations for which UMTA is responsible
• Fund, or arrange/ recommend/ approve funding for, urban transport infrastructure
in whole or in part
• Monitor and Audit use of UMTA funding
• Maintain records relating to urban transport, including details of projects, services,
funding, and public transport safety
• Develop and manage local performance indicators for urban transport
RITES Ltd. Page 28

• Monitor and advice on public transport safety

• Conduct research, studies, education and awareness about good practices in urban
transport
The proposed compositions of the governing board for UMTA are presented below
in Table 0.8.

vi. Traffic Engineering Cells (TEC)
It is therefore important that Traffic Engineering Cells are established within Jammu
Municipal Corporation, Jammu Development Authority & Traffic Police with qualified
and adequate staff such as traffic engineers. This will ensure that the traffic schemes
are properly implemented with better results and fine-tuned later, if necessary. This
will go a long way to improve traffic flow in Jammu.
0.6.3. Development of Fiscal Measures
i. Fare Policy for Public Transport
The CMP details following components for arriving at a fare policy for public
transport for Jammu.
• Principles for Rational Public Transport Tariff Design
RITES Ltd. Page 29

• Effect on Demand of Bus Services

• Subsidy Administration
• Fare Revisions
• Fare Integration
ii. Parking Pricing Strategy
One of the important tool to control the parking is Parking Pricing. This may include
following measures:
• Levy incremental parking fee on on-street parking
• Off street parking charges to be less than the on-street parking charges
• Differential parking fee in the core areas and outside the core area
• Phasing out of on-street parking from major roads and development of off street
parking
• Stringent enforcement measures by way of fine and other penal actions need to be
provided for violation of parking rules
Different parking pricing has been suggested for Core Area and Area beyond Ring
Road. As parking is unsatiated demand, it is proposed that regulatory tools need to
be adopted to cater parking demand generated by a building inside its own premise.
This will cater to the parking demand likely to be generated by upcoming
developments in the City. Broad measures to ensure availability of parking inside a
building premise include:
• Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) of new developments

• Provision of ground level and basement parking for estimated parking demand in
TIA
• Incremental fee at surface / lower ground level to ensure short term parking
0.6.4. Mobility Improvement Measures Proposed in CMP and NUTP Objectives
The land use and transport measures proposed in the CMP will improve mobility in
the metropolitan area and cover the critical issues addressed in the NUTP. Table 0.9

INTRODUCTION
Final CMP Chapter 1: Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION
Jammu, the winter capital of J&K is located in the northern part of India. It lies about
600 km to the north-west of Delhi and about 290 km to the south of Srinagar. It is
inhabited along the Tawi River. The Tawi river flows from east to west direction and
divides the city in two parts. It has a distinct image due to its heritage, location and
linkages. The city is famous for its heritage and culture and has many historic places
like Mubarak Mandi, Purani Mandi, Rani park, Amar Mahal, Bahu Fort, Raghunath
temple, Ranbireshwar temple, Peer Meetha etc. The city also receives a large number
of tourists going to Vaishno Devi shrine throughout the year.
Capitals of India by rail. The population of Jammu Planning area was 12.8 lakh in 2011
and the population grew from 1.6 lakh in 1971 to 5.1 lakh in 2011. The Study area
population in 2019 is estimated as 14.9 Lakh.
The development of urban economy, growth and standards of living are very much
dependent on the efficiency and performance level of city’s transport network and
systems. Traffic planning is essential to manage current traffic and its future growth.
Large-scale urbanization and rapid growth of vehicles population has laid sever stress
on the existing urban transport system in Jammu city. With the sharing of limited right
of way by a variety of modes and other utility services, the problems have become
unmanageable resulting in traffic congestion, accidents, and inadequate parking area
and environment deterioration.
The usage of private modes is growing unabated mainly due to lack of citywide public
transport facilities. The augmentation in the capacity of urban transport infrastructure
has become necessary. The city must keep pace with the growth in various sectors.
The increasing trend of private modes is causing congestion, reduced mobility and
rising pollution level.
As per Metro Rail Policy – 2017, Comprehensive Mobility Plan should be
prepared/updated in every five years to address the constantly changing scenarios of
mobility. With a view of developing effective and efficient urban transport system, the
Government of Jammu and Kashmir has decided to undertake a comprehensive study
to plan an efficient, seamless, safe and economical citywide public transport system in
Jammu Master Plan area. For the purpose RITES Ltd.(A Govt. of India Enterprise) has
been engaged to prepare/update Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) for Jammu as
per Metro Rail Policy – 2017.
RITES Ltd. Page 1-1

1.1. SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY PRINCIPLES

Sustainable mobility means satisfying the needs of the current generation without
compromising the ability to satisfy the needs of future generations. Sustainable
mobility is therefore the mobility model that enables movement with minimal
environmental and territorial impact. The current model of travel in Indian cities is
unsustainable as it is fundamentally based on motorized transport and, specifically,
the use of private vehicles.
A model of sustainable mobility would be one in whose means of transport consume
the least energy and produce less pollution per kilometer travelled and passengers
have greater recognition (travel on foot, by bicycle, collective transport and shared
car). To achieve this, there are following 8 principles that guide the sustainable
transport and development:
WALK | Develop neighborhoods that promote walking
CYCLE | Prioritize non-motorized transport networks
CONNECT | Create dense networks of streets and paths
TRANSIT | Locate development near high-quality public transport
MIX | Plan for mixed use
DENSIFY | Optimize density and transit capacity
COMPACT | Create regions with short commutes
SHIFT | Increase mobility by regulating parking and road use
Thus, a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for a city is a strategic plan designed to satisfy
the mobility needs of people and businesses in cities and their surroundings for a
better quality of life. It builds on existing planning practices and takes due
consideration of integration, participation, and evaluation principles.
CMP Jammu will be a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the city with a long-term
vision for desirable accessibility and mobility pattern for people and goods in the
urban agglomeration. It focuses on the mobility of people to address urban transport
problems and promotes better use of existing infrastructure (i.e., improvement of
public transport, pedestrian and NMT facilities) which leads to the integration of
landuse and sustainable transport development.
1.2. IMPACT OF REGIONAL/NATIONAL FRAMEWORK

Jammu is connected by NH-44 (old NH-1A) with other parts of the country by road
network. NH-44 passes through Jammu and connects it to Srinagar (Kashmir valley)
which further connects Leh. The existing road network of Jammu is basically of radial
pattern. Five roads namely Srinagar Road, Pathankot Road, Akhnoor Road, , R.S. Pura
Road and Ambgrota Road (Bantalab Road), are converging to the city from different
RITES Ltd. Page 1-2

directions. Figure 1.1 shows the existing regional transport connectivity of Jammu.
FIGURE 1.1: REGIONAL TRANSPORT CONNECTIVITY OF JAMMU
BARI BRAHMANA RAILWAY STATION
Capitals of India by rail. It is also well connected to major cities like Srinagar, Delhi,
Leh, Mumbai, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Gwalior etc. by air services. Due to its locational
advantage, Jammu assumes importance on the linkage corridor to Salal Project,
Rajouri, Poonch, Kishtwar, Doda, Akhnoor, Katra, Kathua and Udhampur serves as the
gateway to Kashmir valley.
1.3. NATIONAL URBAN TRANSPORT POLICY

The National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) has been formulated by the Ministry of
Urban Development in 2006 to transform the current urban transport system into a
safe, convenient affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable and efficient transportation
RITES Ltd. Page 1-3

system across all urban areas in India. The objectives of the NUTP are:
Incorporating urban transportation as an important parameter at the urban planning
stage rather than being a consequential requirement
Encouraging integrated land use and transport planning in all cities so that travel
distances are minimized and access to livelihoods, education, and other social needs,
especially for the marginal segments of the urban population is improved
Improving access of business to markets and the various factors of production
Bringing about a more equitable allocation of road space with people, rather than
vehicles, as its main focus.
Encourage greater use of public transport and non-motorized modes by offering
Central financial assistance for this purpose
Enabling the establishment of quality focused multi-modal public transport systems
that are well integrated, providing seamless travel across modes
Establishing effective regulatory and enforcement mechanisms that allow a level
playing field for all operators of transport services and enhanced safety for the
transport system users
Establishing institutional mechanisms for enhanced coordination in the planning and
management of transport systems
Introducing Intelligent Transport Systems for traffic management
Addressing concerns of road safety and trauma response
Reducing pollution levels through changes in traveling practices, better enforcement,
stricter norms, technological improvements, etc.
Building capacity (institutional and manpower) to plan for sustainable urban transport
and establishing knowledge management system that would service the needs of all
urban transport professionals, such as planners, researchers, teachers, students, etc.
Promoting the use of cleaner technologies
Raising finances, through innovative mechanisms that tap land as a resource, for
investments in urban transport infrastructure
Associating the private sector in activities where their strengths can be beneficially
tapped
Taking up pilot projects that demonstrate the potential of possible best practices in
sustainable urban transport

1.4. DELINEATION OF PLANNING AREA (STUDY AREA)

The Jammu Revised Master Plan – 2032 area i.e. geographic area within jurisdiction of
Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), Jammu Cantonment Board, Bari Brahmana,
Nagrota, Vijaypur, Bishna and intervening villages is taken as study area. The Study
Corporation area of 112 sq. km (Figure 1.2).
Government of Jammu & Kashmir has enacted a Metropolitan Regional Development
Authority (MRDA) for Jammu Region. However, MRDA Area has been considered in
general for planning of public transport linkages from Jammu City Transport
Infrastructure in future.

RITES Ltd. Page 1-5

1.5. VISION AND OBJECTIVES OF MOBILITY PLAN

The vision of the CMP is to achieve safe, efficient, reliable and seamless mobility of
people and goods in Jammu city to make it a model city.
The objectives of CMP are:
To optimize the “mobility pattern of people and goods” rather than of vehicles
To focus on the improvement and promotion of public transport, NMVs and
pedestrians, as important transport modes in city
To provide a recognized and effective platform for integrating landuse and
transport planning
To focus on the optimization of goods movement
A low-carbon mobility growth scenario for the city
Equity to all sections of the society including urban poor and differently abled
Service level benchmarks incorporation
Accordingly, the overall objective of the CMP is to provide a long term strategy, which
ensures desirable mobility, safety and accessibility to people across gender and socio-
economic profiles.
1.6. REVIEW OF AVAILABLE RESOURCES

The resources for the Study include past studies which include the following.
Master Plan for Jammu, 1974-94
Comprehensive Mobility Plan for Jammu, 2014
Master Plan for Jammu, 2021
Master Plan for Jammu, 2032
These studies have made proposals to improve transport infrastructure in the city
which will be used as input in CMP preparation/updation and have been detailed in
subsequent paragraphs. The Master Plan for Jammu-2032 has been used as an input
for developing the Transport Demand model to estimate the travel demand in horizon
years. The Census data has been used to estimate base and horizon year population
and employment which have provided demographic input for the model.
1.6.1. MASTER PLAN FOR JAMMU, 1974-94
Jammu city had its First Master Plan (FMP) approved in 1978 for a plan period of 20
years from 1974-1994. The Master Plan had inherent drawbacks of time span, and its
approval in 1978 has created a planning vacuum of four years regardless of the
implications of estimates, success of the Master Plan. Regardless of solving some city
problems due to inherent drawbacks, the Master Plan remained merely a sprawling
RITES Ltd. Page 1-6

improvisation of previous unimplemented plan as it did not encourage

implementation on account of host of issues. The various issues which could be spelt
out include unprecedented growth of population, encroachment on Nazool land, non-
implementation of zonal plans, gross violation of prescribed land-uses, non-availability
of serviced land for housing, poor enforcement of development controls and zoning
regulations, absence of unified control and lack of timely review. Being a perspective
plan, the life span of the first master plan expired in 1994. JDA meanwhile though
initiated the process of revising the Master Plan-1994 in 1989 as provided in the
Jammu and Kashmir Development Act-1970 for its continuity but it unfortunately did
not materialize up to 2001 creating another planning vacuum of seven years which
made the growth of city virtually directionless and highly informal.
1.6.2. COMPREHENSIVE MOBILITY PLAN (CMP) FOR JAMMU, 2014
The Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) was prepared in 2014 for a planning period of
20 years (up to 2031) for Planning and Development Department Government of J&K.
The CMP was prepared with a vision for transport in Jammu to ensure that the city has
a planned, best performing transport system to address the travel needs of the
residents. The objective of CMP, 2014 was to develop specific actions in the form of
short, medium and long term transportation improvement proposals that will achieve
the transportation vision for the area. The major Transport Proposals made under
CMP are as under:
a. Land Use and Transport
The CMP suggests that mass transport system has to be planned as a network in the
city core and not only as one of the corridors to support a larger core city. This would
be the way to make the city less reliant on the private mode of transport. Thus the
integrated land-use interventions are:
Emphasis on transit oriented development (TOD) with high density areas close to
mass transport stations
Either develop all future new townships / emerging activity centres along the
defined major transport corridors or integrate properly with mass transport
system in the master plan itself
Allow the land-use changes from time to time to enable efficiency
b. Development of City-Wide Mass Transport System
Heavy demand of passengers as per CMP, 2014 have been stated along B.C. Road,
Akhnoor Road, Srinagar Road, Janipur Road, Talab Tillo Road, Shalamar Road, Kachi
Chhawni Road, NH-44 (old NH-1A), Nagrota Bypass and Gandhi Nagar area roads. The
demand is expected to be beyond the capacity of a road based public transport
system. Following strategies should be adopted to upgrade public transport system.
RITES Ltd. Page 1-7

i. Actions to maximize the passenger carrying capacity of the existing transport

network by management measures including bus/minibus priorities as a short
term measure.
ii. Construction/ up-gradation of roads and investment in road based public
transport infrastructure to extend the capacity of public transport system as a
medium measure.
iii. As a long term measure, high capacity mass rapid transport system to serve trunk
routes while buses/mini buses provide feeder services and operate on other
dense routes.
Rail based (Monorail) system has been proposed in CMP for Jammu. The Total
proposed MRTS length in Jammu is 49.8 km as shown in Table 1.1. The Figure 1.3
shows the proposed public transport infrastructure proposals.

1.6.3. MASTER PLAN FOR JAMMU, 2021

The basic assumptions in Master Plan Jammu 2021 are as under:
 Jammu is to be planned in context of its Region due to its location, linkages,
phenomenal population growth and urban sprawl. It is poised to become an
important regional centre serving a vast hinterland. Rapid growth of population
and employment opportunities can only be channelized by planning Jammu as an
integral part of the region through restructuring of the settlement pattern and
transportation network. This is necessary because the major problems of a
metropolis originate outside its limits. The regional plan may cover area up to
Udhampur in the north-east, Akhnoor in the north-west, R.S. Pura in the south-
west and Kathua in the southeast. Simultaneously, the city region covering the
periphery outside the proposed urbanizable limits is also required to be
delineated and controls made applicable in terms of land-use, its intensity, density
pattern, transportation network, etc.; so as to regulate development along
desired lines.
 The old city area to be treated as Special Area: The old city area and its extensions
which constituted Planning Division-A of Master Plan 1994 is highly congested and
thickly populated with a variety of misuse zones and the pattern of development
is unique compared with other parts of Jammu. All economic, social, government
and cultural activities are concentrated in this area, on one hand and many
unauthorised housing colonies have mushroomed, on the other hand, in the area
extending up to Janipur Nallah from to the west of B.C. Road. The pattern of
development is such that there is no scope of further development in this area on
the basis of standard planning policies and controls. Hence, it shall have to be
given the status of 'Special Area' to be treated in a different manner.
RITES Ltd. Page 1-9

 The Central Business District (CBD) to be decentralised: Presently the old city
constitutes the Central Business District where most of the activities relating to
trade, commerce, government, work centres, education and health and recreation
facilities are concentrated and further growing rapidly. It attracts and generates
large volume of traffic from and to the residential colonies located in the south
and west directions. This Core Area is required to be decentralised by planning
new sub-CBDs, community centres, neighbourhood shopping complexes and
shifting of many governmental activities.
 Mass Transport System to be remodelled: Matador is the only mode of public
transport in Jammu. It is highly inadequate to deal with about 12 lakh passenger
trips daily which are expected to grow to almost 29 lakh passenger trips daily by
2021. Besides this, about 8000 intra-city goods vehicle trips are generated daily at
present which will grow to about 31000 daily trips by 2021. Beyond 2005, road
based transportation alone will not be able to cater to total passenger trips. As
such, a multi-modal system of transport is envisaged for catering to total trip
demand. In addition, the extension of the railway line to Udhampur offers
possibility for introducing suburban rail system by earmarking dedicated tracks for
catering to both future passenger and goods movement.
1.6.4. MASTER PLAN FOR JAMMU, 2032
The Master Plan strategy for future planning of the city focuses on its historical values,
natural environment, vulnerability and the quality of life in neighbourhoods. Giving
these guiding principles, it is necessary to envision Jammu city by 2032 and align its
future development accordingly.
The vision of the Master Plan of Jammu-2032 is – “to strive for making proposed
Jammu LPA-2032 prosperous, Environment and Disaster Resilient overcoming the
intra city disparities by equitable access to all basic infra structure to all the section of
the society.” Therefore, Vision-2032 is to develop Jammu as an important Regional
Capital City-center which among others warrants substantial planning, and provision
of adequate infrastructure, services and conservation of heritage and preservation of
environment within the framework of sustainable development.
The Guiding Principles for preparation of Jammu Master Plan 2032 are derived from
planning experiences and challenges confronted in the city which include as following:
i. Environmentally and Ecological Suitable Development
ii. Transit Oriented Development
iii. Local Economic Development
iv. Sustainable and Integrated Transport System
v. Preservation of Vitality and Viability of City Core
vi. Inclusive and Collaborative Integrated Urban Development
RITES Ltd. Page 1-10

vii. Mixed-use Development Policy

a. Proposed Urban Transport Development Strategy
To improve the overall mobility, the following Urban Transport Development
Strategies have been proposed.
i. Provision of efficient, reliable and accessible mass transportation system.
ii. Integration of various mode of transport by way of evolving an integrated
multimodal transport system.
iii. Develop Jammu Master Plan-2032 as connected city with greater integration
between two parts of the city harmonising the work - home relations.
iv. Improvement in traffic management through short-term, medium and long-term
interventions.
v. Strengthening of institutions dealing with various aspects of urban transport and
formation of a Unified Transport Authority for effective implementation of Jammu
Master Plan-2032.
vi. Encouraging public transport and non-motorized modes of traffic.
vii. Provision of environment friendly transport systems within the region.
viii. Removal of traffic conflicts by way of grade segregation, provision of missing
links, closure of avoidable junctions/cuts etc.
ix. Creating pedestrian precincts especially with old city and around Ragunath Mandir
area.
x. Development of regional corridors for Bye-Passing the regional traffic. Creating
important transport nodes along the regional corridors for hassle free movement
intercity traffic.
xi. Development of adequate parking facilities across city and removal of Road-side
encroachments.
xii. Removal of traffic bottlenecks as a short term measure.
b. Mass Transport
A monorail network has been proposed in the Master Plan as a part of the High
Capacity public transport system. The network proposed is elevated and mostly along
the median of existing roads. It will cover the core areas of the city and connect them
to the major outer areas. The proposed corridor is from Bari Brahamana railway
station to Doordarshan Kendra in north-west side (alongside the Akhnoor Road) and
to Radio Station in north east (along Ambgrota Road).
1.7. APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

The Study Approach is to focus on delivering all the required objectives within the
agreed scope and Client’s expectations. The Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) for

Jammu has been prepared within the overall frame work of Metro Policy issued by the
Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) in 2017. With our extensive
experience in providing consultancy services for similar projects in different cities of
India, the general approach is based on:
A clear understanding of the project’s wider objectives and the Scope of Work;
A clear understanding and appreciation of the local conditions based on site visits
and previous experience in similar projects;
Rapid mobilization of suitable team of experts with proven success on other
projects;
Formulation of an appropriate work plan based on understanding of the
important issues and likely time requirements;
Use of effective project management and coordination systems;
Development of a close relationship with client officials to ensure that matters
are discussed openly and resolved quickly;
Establishing strong links and encouraging frequent and open communications
with all concerned stakeholders, especially in relation to the finalization of the
proposals;
The Methodology for preparing CMP for Jammu has been divided broadly into 6
Stages as under:
Stage 1: Defining the Scope of the CMP
Stage 2: Data Collection & Analysis of Existing Urban Transport and Environment
Stage 3: Development of Business as Usual (BAU) Scenario
Stage 4: Development of Sustainable Urban Transport Scenarios
Stage 5: Development of Urban Mobility Plan
Stage 6: Preparation of the Implementation Program
Figure 1.4 gives the flow chart of the Study Methodology. The above Stage have been
further sub divided into tasks which are detailed as under:
1.7.1. STAGE I: DEFINE OBJECTIVE, SCOPE AND TIMEFRAME OF THE CMP
Task 1: Define Objectives and Vision of the CMP

As an initial task, objective and the vision will be clearly defined. The objectives are
covered the following aspects as mentioned in section 1.5.
Task 2: Study Area /Planning area and planning horizon
As per the CMP Guidelines, the Master Plan has been used as a base for preparing the
CMP. This is because the CMP addresses not only city transportation needs but also
the needs for regional connectivity with satellite towns and Special Economic Zones
(SEZs). Accordingly, the Study Area for Jammu CMP is the urban agglomeration area of
Jammu as identified in the Jammu Master Plan (2032).

1.7.2. STAGE 2: DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING URBAN TRANSPORT
AND ENVIRONMENT
This task relates to generation of database from primary and secondary sources to
appreciate the existing urban transport and environment, issues, problems and
constraints. The output of the tasks provides input for subsequent stages of the study.
Task 3: Review City Profile, Delineation of Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) and Review of Land
Use Pattern & Population Density
To study the city’s present socio-economic profile and trends over a period of time,
data have been collected from secondary sources on land area, administrative
boundaries, demography and socio-economic characteristics.
For the purpose of analysis and development of travel demand forecasting model, the
study area has been subdivided into smaller areas known as Traffic Analysis Zones
(TAZs). TAZs have been delineated taking into account various factors such as
administrative boundaries, physical barriers like water bodies, railway lines, highways
and homogeneous landuses. TAZs located inside the planning area are called internal
zones whereas TAZs outside the planning area are termed as external zones. Analysis
of trip interactions between internal-internal, internal-external, external-external and
external-internal have been taken up on the basis of these zones.
A review of landuse in each TAZ has been carried out and linked with the data on
population collected as secondary data from various sources. CMP relies on CDP and
the Master Plan of Jammu as the prime data sources for reviewing existing landuse
patterns. The area of TAZ and the population figures have been used to derive the
population density of each zone. The pattern of landuse has been analyzed for
percentage of land under each landuse to arrive at ratio of residential landuse and
employment-generating landuse, which has significant influence on travel distance
and choice of walking, bicycle and public transport modes.
The review of existing landuse gave insight into the mode choice behavior of the city
inhabitants which has been used in formulation of future scenarios wherein changes in
landuses or the densities have been altered to affect the future mode choices in favor
of public transport. Following relationships have been established based on the
availability of data for each zone:
Ratio of the number of jobs to the number of household in each zone.
No. of persons/job per unit area = Rj / ARj x AJj
 Where,

 Rj = no of residents in a zone
 ARj = area under residential purpose landuse in the zone
 AJj = no. of jobs in the zone to the area under landuses that
generate these jobs respectively
Floor space used per activity per unit area = number of floors x landuse (activity)
Task 4: Review of the Existing Transport Systems
A review of the existing transport infrastructure and facilities has been done for each
transport mode, which may include walking, bicycle, cycle rickshaw, auto rickshaw,
shared auto-rickshaw and public transport. The data on existing transport system has
been collected from primary as well as secondary sources.
Task 5: Data Collection Approach - Methodology and Sources
Relevant data has been collected from secondary sources like published reports like
CMP or master plan and primary surveys.
As a part of CMP, following primary surveys are to be carried out and analysed to
understand the existing urban transport systems :
 Road Network Inventory Surveys (within city limits- All major arterials and
important sub-arterials and local streets)
 Classified Traffic Volume Count Surveys at Outer Cordons and Mid block
 Speed and Delay Surveys – Peak hour and off peak hour
 Pedestrian Count Surveys
 Parking Surveys - 12 hours
 Public Transport - Boarding and Alighting Survey (based on city
travel characteristics) at Bus /Rail Terminals,
 NMT Opinion Surveys
 Junction Turning Volume Counts
 Freight Terminal Survey
Task 6: Study of Existing Travel Behavior
Two important considerations have been taken into account while collecting data on
travel patterns. The collected data have been covered the travel behaviour of all
individuals within a household and trip purpose, which can represent people’s
perceptions towards different modes of transport in terms of time, cost, comfort,
safety and security. For understanding and analyzing the existing travel behavior and
characteristics, the following surveys have been conducted:
 Screen Line Classified Volume Count Surveys - 16 hours

 Household Interview Surveys (sample size should be between 1-2%

depending on the size of the city and limited sample for updation -as the
case may be)
 Work Centre Interview Survey and Stated preference survey
Task 7: Review of Energy and Environment
In order to address the indicators of environmental impacts i.e. percentage of
population exposed to air pollution data on ambient air quality has been collected
through monitoring at selected sample location in Jammu. These locations have been
selected such that they provide a reasonable representation of the pollution scenario
of Jammu. The pollution levels have been mapped by using standard dispersion
model. Estimation of pollution as above is proposed as one way of mapping ambient
air quality.
Task 8: Analysis and Indicators
Data collected under above listed exercise have been collated under the specified
service-level benchmarks (SLB) to understand the level of service provided to citizens
of Jammu. The SLB listed as under the CMP guidelines are as follows:
Public transport facilities
Pedestrian infrastructure facilities
Non-Motorized Transport (NMT)facilities
Level of usage of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) facilities
Travel speed (Motorized and Mass Transit) along major corridors
Availability of parking spaces
Road safety
Pollution levels
Integrated landuse transport system
Financial sustainability of public transport
As part of the study, the impact of the projects proposed have been evaluated in terms
of improvement in the Service Level Benchmark (SLB) of each indicator and overall
improvement in SLB.
1.7.3. STAGE III: DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS AS USUAL (BAU) URBAN TRANSPORT

SCENARIO
Task 9: Framework for Scenarios

Scenarios have been formulated to depict future growth and the needs and issues of
mobility on the basis of data on traffic and travel characteristics collected through

various secondary and primary surveys. The Business As Usual represents the future
based on the continuation of past trends and has been used as a reference point for
assessing the need for policy interventions. The BAU scenario extrapolates the existing
trends and does not assume any radical policy interventions for sustainable
development and emission mitigation. However, infrastructure development and
landuse as depicted in the Master Plan have been considered under the BAU scenario.
Future transport demand has been assessed under BAU on the basis of preferences of
different socio-economic groups as revealed in the base year. In terms of passenger
transport, the BAU scenario predicts the increased car ownership and higher demand
for motorization. The model for BAU yields the output on future transport indicators
namely:
Mobility and Accessibility,
Safety,
Environment,
Energy
Task 10: Socio- Economic Projects
Demographic projection includes population projection for the city along with
projection of rural and urban population. The population for each TAZ estimated and
has been used as the basis of demographic projections.
Task 11: Landuse Transitions
Future urban development has been modeled on the basis of following inputs as
estimated:
Existing landuse type and its floor area
Floor space requirement per capita for each landuse/TAZ
The landuse type has been disaggregated into residential, commercial, retail,
recreational, industrial, educational, religious, and other categories. Landuse
projections and allocations for the coming years have been done in following three
steps. The first step includes the projection of socio demographics and the per capita
space requirements for each activity in the city. The second step involves the allotment
of activities based on connectivity and distances, as well as the availability of space. The
third step includes the scope of the landuse transition.
Task 12: Transport Demand Analysis
Demand for passenger transport has been estimated using a four-step model. The four-
step model is based on an understanding of existing travel behavior obtained from the
household interview surveys, and provisioning existing transport infrastructure and
service quality. The transport model has been developed for peak-hour model. After
set up for the base year, the traffic flows on different road links have been compared

with the actual traffic volume counts observed at various locations across the city.
Task 13: Technology Transitions
An understanding of vehicles, fuels and CO2 emissions from electricity use in
transportation system is essential to understanding the implications of travel demand
on CO2 emissions and air quality.
Task 14: Model Framework
The framework for sustainable urban mobility needs to utilize the four strategic levers:
Urban form,
Non-Motorized Transport (NMT),
Public transport, and
Technology.
The framework includes the study of impacts of alternative strategies using key
indicators for mobility, safety, and local environment, as well as more aggregate
indicators like CO2 and energy use. The approach is to use a model framework that
combines the 4-stage transport model with an emission inventory and air diffusion
model which then analyzes the impact of activities from transport on the local
environment, energy use and CO2 emissions.
1.7.4. STAGE IV – DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSPORT SCENARIO
Task 15: Framework for Scenarios

Review of Green House Gas Emission indicators for the BAU scenario as well as
sustainable scenarios, however, technological transitions for various scenarios should
also be discussed in detail (Figure 1.3).
FIGURE 1.5: FOUR BROAD STRATEGIES AND ACCOMPANYING POLICIES USED FOR
SUSTAINABLE SCENARIOS

Task 16: Strategies for Sustainable Urban Transport Scenarios

Various scenarios have been developed describing the plans and policies aimed at
limiting private vehicle use and ownership. The scenarios also assume an increase in
motorized transport to some extent, which is inevitable given the low level of vehicle
use on a per capita basis. Therefore, emphasis has been placed on improving
technology in terms of efficiency and emissions.
Task 17: Transport Demand Analysis of Alternative Strategies for Sustainable Urban Transport
The aim of above scenarios is to improve transport infrastructure and increase the
cost of using personal motorized vehicles. The method used to estimate travel
demand for different modes under alternative scenarios.
Repeating a four-step model
In this method, a four-step modeling is repeated, taking into account changes in
parameters associated with different modes such as cost, travel time, availability,
comfort and safety. These changes result in changed impedance to different modes
and consequently, changes in people’s transport choices. Likely changes to be
accounted in the four-step model in alternate scenarios.
Task 18: Technology Transitions under a Low Carbon Scenario
In the low carbon scenario, the fuel mix is expected to diversify further from BAU
scenario towards bio-fuels, electricity and natural gas. With advanced technologies,
vehicle efficiency will also improve, and thus the overall demand for fuels will be lower
in the low carbon scenario.
Task 19: CO2 Emissions and Air Quality
The model framework is same as the BAU scenario for estimating CO2 Emissions and Air
Quality. The indicators for the sustainable urban transport scenario are similar to those
estimated for the base year.
1.7.5. STAGE V – DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN MOBILITY PLAN
Based on the analysis of existing urban transport, BAU scenario, preferred landuse and
transport scenario vision and strategy for development, urban mobility plan for the
city has been prepared. The mobility plan provides alternatives to enhance mobility
for all users and all modes of travel. The urban mobility plan suggests changes in the
existing urban structure and form that encourages an increased use of public
transport, walking and NMT. The mobility plan is a city’s long-term blueprint for
improving accessibility and mobility. The aim of the mobility plan is to develop an
adequate, safe, environmentally friendly, affordable, equitable, comfortable, efficient
integrated transport system within the framework of a progressive and competitive
market economy. It attempts to create a well-connected network of complete road
hierarchy, suggest measures to shift from unsustainable mobility to sustainable modes

and integrate freight planning with urban transport. The CMP aims to plan for the
people rather than vehicles by providing sustainable mobility and accessibility for all
citizens to jobs, education, social services and recreation at an affordable cost and
within reasonable time. The Urban Mobility Plan has been developed and on the basis
of the analysis carried under Stages 3 and 4. The plan has been defined along the
following lines:
Task 20: Integrated Landuse and Urban Mobility Plan
National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) has emphasized the integrated landuse and
transport planning. Urban structure determines the travel demand and transport
system influence the urban structure. Location of various landuse and activity nodes
have influence on travel pattern. At the same time, the transport nodes or hubs
impact the allocation of landuse both at the city and local level. As such, integrating
urban development with transport will be the key consideration towards compact and
sustainable development of cities. Thus, elements for landuse transport integration
would be as follows:
Enabling urban structure
Completing the hierarchy of roads
Aligning public transit with high density areas, mixed landuse to capture the
land value
Integrating multimodal transit interchange and planning integration at vertical
and horizontal level
Integrating landuse with the urban mobility plan would entail a two-way interaction
between the two plans. High density residential areas intertwined with high density
employment areas, along with increased travel costs and an efficient public transport
system is expected to incite people to use NMT for short trips and public transport for
long ones. The landuse has been allocated in a manner that encourages short and
fewer trips, thereby enabling improved accessibility to activities. This also helps in
people shift from private travel modes such as cars to NMT (including cycling and
walking). Additionally, to encourage NMT, neighborhood design measures such as
pedestrian footpaths and cycling tracks will be proposed. To summarize, the landuse
plan locates activities in a manner that encourages low-carbon mobility and the urban
mobility plan, in turn, facilitates the access to activities.
Task 21: Formulation of Public Transport Improvement Plan
Public Transport Improvement Plans has been divided into a number of sections,
including service improvements for buses and para-transit, appropriate MRT options
and infrastructure development plans and intermodal integration plans.
Improving the public transport involves infrastructural improvements like reserving
lanes and tracks and improvement in level of service to not only maintain the existing
modal share of public transport but also create a shift from other modes to public

transport. A progression towards public transport technology has been suggested

from the low-carbon point of view. System planning has considered not only where
terminal, routes and stops are placed (i.e. routes and stops), but also consider the
aspect of accessibility for pedestrians, cyclists, differently-abled, elderly people, and
private vehicle users availing park and ride facilities.
Task 22: Preparation of Road Network Development Plan and NMT Facility Improvement Plan
CMP lists out road projects which need to be developed, strengthened, upgraded and
interconnected including hierarchical road network, arterial road construction /
widening projects, secondary road construction / widening projects, intersection
improvement projects, flyover projects, railway over bridge or underpass projects. The
hierarchical road network is based on travel demand. In addition to assigning
hierarchy to the road network derived from its landuse, urban roads have been
assigned functions as streets. As the availability of additional road capacity often
induces new travel, the induced demand has been considered for project cost and
benefit. Considering that the high number of trips in Indian cities are NMT, CMP
prioritizes road space for NMT. As per the MoHUA guidelines, despite the latent
demand for motorized vehicle use, proposals to improve motorized vehicle mobility by
increasing road space under the pretext of easing congestion has been discouraged as
much as possible. New construction/ widening projects, flyover projects and
underpass projects has been proposed where absolutely necessary.
As a large proportion of urban travel involves using NMT modes, specific streets and
the street types have been identified which are preferred by individuals when walking
or using a bicycle. Due consideration has been given to forming a network of NMT. An
attempt has been made to ensure that all roads where individual are likely to walk
should include at least 2 meters of clear, walkable footpath, all potential walking or
bicycling locations should have NMT infrastructure, including comfortable footpaths,
cycle tracks, streetlights, cycle stand, formal pedestrian crossing and NMT-designed
signals at all junctions. Access to activities and transport services has been taken into
account. The design of these facilities has been inclusive and provides travel
opportunities to all sections of the society. NMT improvement plans and traffic
management measures have been worked out for CBD, commercial centers, and other
major activity centers. These plans define the NMT policy for the whole region.
Task 23: Preparation of Mobility Management Measures
Traffic management plans covers the parking management plans, traffic control
measures, intermodal facilities, demand management measures, traffic safety plan
and ITS. Mobility management measures have been suggested in the CMP to enable
enhanced use of public transit and NMT modes. Additional measures have been added
to increase the cost of using personal motorized travel, including the taxation of cars
and fuel, landuse planning that encourages shorter travel distances and traffic
management by reallocating space on the roads.

Task 24: Preparation of Regulatory and Institutional Measures

Effective development of urban landuse and transport systems often requires
regulatory and institutional changes. Such requirements have been worked out in in
the CMP. These measures have been developed region-wide/ city wide or be project
specific.
Task 25: Development of Fiscal Measures
Fiscal measures have also been considered to achieve a balanced modal split, and to
secure the budget necessary to implement urban transport projects. As fiscal
measures usually correspond to institutional and regulatory measures, the major
aspects such as fare policy for public transportation, intermediate public transport and
parking, setting up of Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA) to coordinate
urban transport and related issues and creating Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV)
particularly for mass transit system will be examined in the CMP for consideration of
government of J&K .
Task 26: Mobility Improvement Measures and NUTP Objectives
The landuse and transport measures proposed in the CMP are expected to improve
the mobility in the study area and cover the critical issues addressed in the NUTP. A
table has been prepared summarizing the relationship between the NUTP objectives
and the measures proposed in the study, together with a classification of the
measures according to their implementation timeframe (immediate, short, medium
and long term) as per the provision of NUTP.
1.7.6. STAGE VI – IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Task 27: Preparation of Implementation Plan

CMP provides broad guideline prioritizing various projects for the measures identified
under the following categories:
Short term (next 2-5 years)
Medium term (5-10 years)
Long term (more than 10 years)
Task 28: Identification and Prioritization of Projects

All sustainable transport projects have equal priority however their planning can be
phased based on short, medium and long-term planning. The prioritization of projects
into short, medium and long term has been done using the following criteria:
Short-term measures are aimed at improving the safety and accessibility of
pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users through area level traffic
circulation plans and measures like implementing traffic signals.

Medium-term measures typically involve corridor-level projects like implementing

cycle tracks and mass-transit corridors, city level initiatives like public transport
fleet improvement and efficient scheduling, developing area level cycle networks
and Public Bicycle Sharing (PBS) schemes, parking policy development and
implementation in the city. They are primarily aimed at restricting the decrease in
the city’s public transport and non-motorized transport mode shares.
Long-term measures include implementing the overall vision of the CMP. These
project ideas are presented to the stakeholders in order to get their feedback on
both the projects and their prioritization. The final list of identified projects then
undergoes studies on implementation, cost estimates and likely funding agencies.
Task 29: Funding of Projects
As CMP is a long-term vision for the city authority, the overall ownership of the CMP
lies with Urban Local Body (ULB). CMP makes a resource assessment for all the
projects listed in the CMP and suggests the city authority, city-specific and project-
specific indicative source of financing for the project.
Task 30: Monitoring of CMP Implementation
As per the MoHUA advisory, CMP is the basis for approving projects, plans and various
regulatory measures within the city related to transport. After the completion and
approval of CMP, it will be important for the authorities to monitor and measure the
impact of interventions taken as an outcome of CMP.
Task 31: Stakeholders Consultation
Stakeholders’ consultation has been done after each major stage of the CMP such as
the draft stage to ascertain their feedback and comments on the proposals and
projects for improving urban transport.
1.8. COMPOSITION OF REPORT

REVIEW OF CITY PROFILE
Final CMP Chapter 2: Review of City Profile
2. REVIEW OF CITY PROFILE

2.1. REVIEW OF EXISTING TRANSPORT SYSTEM
2.1.1. PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport plays a crucial role to meet the travel demand of any city. It offers
economies of scale with minimised road congestion and low per capita road usage.
Cheaper and affordable public transport systems world over have proved to
promote mobility – move people more efficiently and safely with increased
opportunities for education, employment, social development etc.
The public transport services are rather scattered and presently mini buses are the
only mass transport system in the Jammu. At present private operators are
operating the city bus services with fleet size of about 2300 buses and very limited
state govt operated intra-city bus services are in operation. Private auto, Shared
taxis/ Tata Sumo, Maxi Cab are supplement to these transportation services. With
the growth of population, the number of commuters has increased in many folds.
However, the transport system has been unable to cope up with increased
demand.
All the city routes are catered by private bus operators with permit from
government. The route structure in Jammu has been designed by J&K State Road
Transport Corporation (J&K SRTC) based on major boarding/alighting demand
locations.
The major modes of transport in Jammu are 2-wheeler, car, Auto Rickshaw, Shared
Mini Buses /taxis/ Tata Sumo and Maxi Cab. This is the cause of acute traffic
congestion and environmental pollution in the city. This indicates that there is an
immediate need for upgrading the city wide public transport system.
2.1.2. REGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLES
The registered vehicles in Jammu have increased significantly over the years. The
numbers of vehicle registration per year have almost doubled from 0.34 Lakh to
0.59 Lakh in the last nine years. This high density and rapid growth of vehicles have
worsened the transport situation to a significant extent. The share of two wheelers
is highest and than cars and jeeps. The sharp increase of two-wheelers and cars
could be attributed to the improved economic status of people and lack of city
wide good public transport system. The increase of private modes demands more
road space and has resulted in traffic congestion on roads. The number of
registered vehicles from year 2010-2018 is presented in (Table 2.1 & Figure 2.1).

2.1.3. TRAFFIC SAFETY
The increase in number of private vehicles and inter mixing of slow and fast
moving vehicles on road has led to increase in number of accidents on roads in
Jammu, which is a cause of concern. Considering the urban expanse, population
growth and increased trends of vehicles on the city roads; the safety of the
commuters is equally important.
There are many reasons for the growth in the number of accidents in Jammu.
Accidents are caused not merely due to the increase in population and rise in
vehicle ownership. They are also caused due to the casual approach of road users
in observing driving rules, adhering to safety precautions and regulations. Rush and
negligent driving have proved to be a frequent cause of serious and fatal accidents.
Similarly, poor road geometry and inadequate street infrastructure also increase
the incidence of accidents on urban roads. One of major causes of pedestrian
safety is endangered by extended trading activities of shops and commercial
activity on footpaths and sidewalks. This compels pedestrians to clog the road
space, hence give a chance to accidents.
An insight into the trends and type of accidents observed in the Jammu indicates a
total of 1246 road accidents have taken place in Jammu in year 2018 out of which
135 were fatal. Table 2.2 & Figure 2.2 shows the trends of accidents in recent
years.

Tourism has played a pivotal role in the development of the state economy.
Jammu a city of temples enjoys a transitory status and has lately become the main
base camp for pilgrims of Katra- Vaishno Devi pilgrimage. The city is also a tourist
hub to number of places like Patnitop, Shiv Khori, Shadara Sharief, Mansar, Chichi
Mata, etc. Tourists from all over the world visit Jammu round the year. The tourist
flow, which was 103.7 lakh in 2009 increased to 122.8 lakh in 2016. Table 2.3 &

The Jammu Master Plan – 2032 area i.e. geographic area within jurisdiction of
Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), Jammu Cantonment Board, Bari Brahmana,

2.3. ANALYSIS OF EXISTING TRAFFIC/TRANSPORT CONDITIONS

The major traffic issues and concerns in the study area are listed as follows and
presented in Figure 2.5.
Lack of citywide good and quality public transport system

Encroachment of footpaths/ Unorganized On-street parking causing
reduction in efficient roadway width
Lack of pedestrian’s facilities like footpath along major roads resulting in
pedestrian spill over on right of way
Un-organised operations of buses and shared auto services
Absence of necessary transportation infrastructure such as bus stop,
lighting etc.

The said issues and concerns are widespread in the Jammu City which reduces the
efficiency of road carriageway leading to congestion and causes vulnerability to
road users. Other reasons for congestion include encroachment of road space by
street vendors, unauthorized movement of auto-rickshaws which have not been
regularized. With increase in population and dependence on personalized modes
of transport, increase in road accidents the transport system requires expansion
and augmentation for safe, efficient, convenient travel and further to reduce the
pollution level in the City.

2.4. TRAFFIC VOLUME COUNT
Classified traffic volume surveys were carried on weekday to quantify the volume
of traffic moving along various roads of the study area. The counts were carried
out for 16-hour at mid block/screen line and Intersection locations and for 24
hours at outer cordon locations. The survey locations were selected in a manner
that would cover the entire study area and assist in understanding the traffic
pattern within the study area as well as with adjacent urban settlements. These
surveys help in assessing the existing traffic problems in the study area aswell as to
validate the transport demand models.
i. Traffic Volume Counts at Mid-Blocks/Screen Lines
The daily and peak hour traffic counts both in terms of numbers of vehicles and
Passenger Car Units (PCUs) are presented in Table 2.5. It is observed that the
traffic at different locations varies from 4,345 Vehicles (3,721 PCU’s) at Tawi Bridge
near Rambagh to 79,419 Vehicles (70,339 PCU’s) along Tawi Bridge near Bikram
Chowk throughout a normal working day.
The morning peak hour volume varies from 249 PCUs (292 vehicles) on Raya More
Railway Crossing to 8,248 PCUs (8,946 vehicles) along Tawi Bridge near Bikram
Chowk & evening peak hour volume varies from 320 PCUs (402 vehicels) on Tawi
Bridge near Rambagh to 5,562 PCU’s (4,571 vehicles) along Satwari Chowk to
Kunjwani Chowk Road near Digiana.
It can also be observed that peak hour peak directional traffic at Screen Line/Mid-
block locations generally varies from 50.1% at Railway Crossing at Channi 1 to
68.4% at Railway Crossing at Channi 2.
ii. Traffic Volume Counts at Intersections
The daily and peak hour traffic characteristics at 20 intersection locations is given
in Table 2.6. The survey involved an interval of 15 minutes, direction wise classified
traffic volume counts for each movement at the intersection-continuously for 16
hours (0600 hours to 2200 hours) on a typical working day. It can be seen that
Satwari Chowk handles the maximum daily traffic of 1,46,692 PCUs (1,25,105
vehicles) followed by Medical Chowk with 1,31,721 PCUs (1,47,838 vehicles) while
the least daily traffic is observed on Panjtirthi Chowk with 27,305 vehicles (27,074
PCUs).
iii. Classified Traffic Volume Counts at Outer Cordon Locations
Total daily and peak hour traffic at 10 locations is presented in Table2.7.

2.7. PARKING SURVEYS

The Parking surveys have been conducted at 10 locations at identified on-street
parking streches on major arterial and sub-arterial roads and at major existing off-
street parking lots in the study area for 12 hours (8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) on fair weather
working day.
2.7.1. PARKING DEMAND

The total parking demand at the surveyed locations is presented below in Table 2.26.
The table indicates that parking demand is high at many locations and parking demand
outstrips parking supply. Many locations have on street parking provisions which in
turn reduces the effective carriageway width and affects the smooth movement of the
traffic.
The total parking demand over the day at the main parking stretches was observed to
be about 2600 E.C.S. with maximum demand of 713 E.C.S. being observed at Location
No. 2, Kachi Chhawni parking lot.
2.7.2. PARKING ACCUMULATION

The observed peak parking accumulation along the surveyed locations is presented in

2.10. FREIGHT TERMINAL SURVEY

It is necessary to study the requirements of the goods terminal, movement pattern of
goods vehicle. The survey including in and Out count of goods vehicles and OD survey
was conducted for 24 hours period at Goods terminal located at Jammu Transport
Nagar. It is observed from Table 2.35 that the total movement of goods vehicles (in +
out) at the terminal is 1284 with peak hour movement of total 67 vehicles.

Table 2.36 shows the composition of goods vehicles at goods terminal. The major
composition of LCVs (28%) and 2 Axle trucks (31%) have been observed. The share of
MAV and 3 Axle truck was found to be same at 34%.
Table 2.37 shows the distribution of goods vehicles by trip frequency. It has been
observed that 30% of goods vehicles travel daily once to the terminal and 20% travel
daily twice or trice and more while the remaining 50% of goods vehicles travel
monthly.

2.11. FUTURE LAND USE DEVELOPMENTS PLAN

The proposed land use distribution clearly suggests thrust on the development of
residential areas and a continued thrust on commercial development to boost the
local economy. Transport continues to occupy a significant share of the land in the city.
The land-use plan as per Master Plan 2032 is shown in Figure 2.7.
With regards the land use in 2011 about 9% of area is categorized as residential and a
significant 59% of land is under agricultural activities. On the otherhand, the
proportion of commercial and industrial land use constitutes 4% and 1% respectively.
Only 2.9% of the land is under circulation which highlights the deficiency of road
network. A detailed comparison of land use distribution-2011 and 2032 is been given
in Table 2.38.

2.12.2. EMISSIONS IN BASE YEAR
Jammu and Kashmir Pollution Control Board (JKPCB) has been monitoring on Ambient
Air Quality Data (AAQ) for RSPM, SPM, PM2.5, SO2 and NOx at 3 locations in Jammu
covering Industrial, commercial and residential zones. The AAQ data is available from
Nov 2015 to Sept 2019 with JKPCB as summarized in Table 2.40.
From the data, it is observed that SO2 and NOx are within the permissible limits of
National Ambient Air Quality Standards. However, PM2.5 and RSPM is exceeding the
permissible limits at all locations during most of the year. SPM is exceeding the
permissible limts in 2015 only and within limit for rest of the years at all the three
locations.

FIGURE 2-8 GRAPH SHOWING FUEL SUPPLIED TO JAMMU CITY
From the table and figure, it can be seen that petrol consumption has been increased
by about 29.6% from 68.2 million liters in year 2014 to 88.4 million liters in Year 2019;
whereas diesel consumption has been increased by 6.2% from 126.4 million liters in
year 2014 to 134.3 million liters in year 2019. Howver, LPG consumption has been
reduced by 42% from 394 MT in year 2014 to 228 MT in year 2019.

2.13. ANALYSIS AND INDICATORS
The guidelines and toolkit issued by MoHUA for the preparation of CMP suggests the
comparative analysis of Urban Transport environment with benchmark values
suggested in the toolkit as the Level of Service (LOS). The urban transport scenario in
Jammu has been evaluated and compared with benchmarks to diagnose the existing
transport condition and to identify urgent areas for improvement in the city.
I. Performance Benchmarks for Urban Transport
To facilitate comparison between cities and changes in performance over time, it is

important that the performance levels are monitored against set benchmarks. It is in
this context, that the toolkit defines SLBs for various parameters of urban transport.
SLBs have been identified for the following parameters:
i. Public transport facilities
ii. Pedestrian infrastructure facilities
iii. Non Motorized Transport (NMT)facilities
iv. Level of usage of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) facilities
v. Travel speed (Motorized and Mass Transit) along major corridors
vi. Availability of parking spaces
vii. Road safety
viii. Pollution levels
ix. Integrated land use transport system
x. Sustainability of public transport
These parameters highlight the performance of urban transport in the City. Typically,
four LOS viz. 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been specified, with 1 being highest LOS and 4 being
lowest to measure each identified performance benchmark. Therefore, the goal is to
attain the service level 1.
ii. LOS of Public Transport Facilities
SLB of Public Transport facilities is based on six parameters namely:

Presence of Organized Public Transport System in Urban Area (%)
Extent of Supply Availability of Public Transport
Service Coverage of Public Transport in the city
Average waiting time for Public Transport users (mins)
Level of Comfort in Public Transport
% of Fleet as per Urban Bus Specification

The city-wide LOS calculated for public transport systems during peak hours include rail,
or organized bus based systems and does not include Intermediate Public Transport
(IPTs) such as shared RTVs, auto-rickshaws, three-wheelers, tempos, shared taxi or
other such vehicles providing point-to-point services. The analysis of public transport
facilities in Jammu has been done based on available primary and secondary data and is
presented in Table 2.44.

4=<25%)
Overall LOS 18
As the city of Jammu has un-organized poor public transport system, the same gets
reflected in the Level of Service (LOS) calculated for each of the SLB. The overall
calculated LOS of Public Transport facilities (LOS1 + LOS2 + LOS3 + LOS4 + LOS5 + LOS6)
is 18.

As per toolkit, the value of 18 of overall LOS for public transport facilities in Jammu
suggest that the City has un-orgainsed public transport system and it needs to be city
wide planned in an organized manner.
iii. LOS of Pedestrian Infrastructure Facilities
The SLB parameters for pedestrian infrastructure facilities include the following:
Signalized intersection delay (%)
Street Lighting (Lux)
% of City Covered
These parameters cover the percentage of road length along the arterial and major
road network or Public Transport corridors and at intersection that has adequate
barrier free pedestrian facilities (Table 2.45). However, it is evident from various
surveys that pedestrian infrastructure is very lack and most of the roads are encroched.

Overall LOS 10
There is no pedestrian phasing in the signals and about 92% of the road network does
not have any footpath due to which the calculated LOS is lowest for these parameters.
Street lighting is available on 60% of the network and the same is reflected in the LOS.
The calculated overall level of Service (LOS) of Pedestrian infrastructure facilities (LOS1
+ LOS2 + LOS3) is in the least range which is denoted by a value 10 indicating that the
city lacks adequate pedestrian facilities. Due to negligible pedestrian infrastructure in
the city, pedestrians are forced to use carriageway resulting in pedestrian - vehicle
conflicts.

iv. LOS of Non Motorized Transport Facilities
The SLB parameters for NMT (Table 2.46) facilities include:

% of network covered
Encroachment on NMT roads by Vehicle Parking (%)
NMT Parking facilities at Interchanges (%)
These parameters indicate the percentage of dedicated cycle track / lane along the
arterial & sub arterial road network or public transport corridors with a minimum of 2.5
m width. The service level is characterized by continuous length of NMT lanes,
encroachment on NMT lanes, and parking facilities.

LOS3= 25- 50%, LOS4=<25%)
Overall LOS 12
The level of Service (LOS) calculated for non motorized transport facilities (LOS1 +
LOS2 + LOS3) is 12. This indicates that the City lacks NMT facilities.
v. LOS of Level of Usage of Intelligent Transport System (ITS)
ITS refers to efforts to add information and communications technology to transport

infrastructure and vehicles to manage factors that typically are at odds with each
other, such as vehicles, loads, and routes to improve safety and reduce vehicle wear,
transportation times and fuel consumption GPS/GPRS systems are required so as to
cover all the public transport and intermediate public transport vehicles on the
"National public transport helpline" besides the use for operational efficiencies. The
parameters identified to assess the level of service for level of usage of ITS (Table 2.47)
are:
Availability of Traffic Surveillance (%)
Passenger Information System (PIS) (in %)

Global Positioning System (GPS)/ General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) (%)

Overall LOS 19
The city lacks basic traffic management controls, most of the intersections are
unsignalised and some of intersections have traffic signals installed but most of the
time are not in working condition. The level of Service (LOS) calculated for level of
usage of intelligent transport system (LOS1 + LOS2 + LOS3 + LOS4 + LOS5) is 19
indicating that the city lacks basic infrastructure as installation of traffic signals at
junctions and is yet to witness any kind of ITS intervention.

vi. LOS for Travel Speeds Along Major Corridors
This level of service provides an indication of effective travel time or speed of Public /
private vehicles by taking into account indications of congestion or traffic density. This
level of service is along corridors, and not indicative of overall level of service from
origin to destination (Table 2.48). The parameters identified to assess the level of
service include:
Average Travel speed of Personal vehicles (KMPH)
Average Travel speed of Public Transport (KMPH)
LOS is defined in terms of average travel speed of all vehicles on the key corridors. It is
strongly influenced by the number of vehicles along the corridor, number of signals
per kilometer and the average intersection delay.

Overall LOS 6
There is un organized PT system in the city. Also, speed of shared auto/jeeps could not
be considered as the capacity of these modes is very low as compared to a bus system
or any other form of organized PT system. As such, the calculated level of Service (LOS)
of travel speed (motorized and mass transit) along major corridors (LOS1 + LOS2) has
been calculated to be lowest. The overall LOS of travel speed obtained is 6. From the
overall LOS it can be concluded that significant delays are experienced due to high
number of uncontrolled junctions in the city. Key corridors run at low speeds due to
traffic congestion, high level of encroachments and haphazard on street parking.
vii. LOS of Availability of Parking Spaces
Parameters (Table 2.49) to calculate LOS for this SLB include:
Availability of on street paid public parking spaces (%)

Ratio of Maximum and Minimum Parking Fee in the City

It indicates the restriction on free parking spaces for all vehicles in a city. In the CBD of
the city, the land is generally available at a premium, which makes it difficult to
provide for organized parking spaces in these areas. One of the management
measures for reducing parking demand in the CBD is high parking charges, which
discourages the use of private vehicles. The parking charges for 2 wheelers varies from
min Rs. 10 to 40 and car min Rs. 40 to Rs 250. for 24 hrs.

and Minimum charged / Minimum parking fee Rs. 20
Parking Fee in the being charged (LOS1=>4,
City LOS2=2 - 4, LOS3= 1 - 2, LOS4<1)
Overall LOS 6
The calculated level of Service (LOS) of Availability of Parking Spaces (LOS1 + LOS2)
obtained is 6. From the overall LOS it can be concluded that the city lacks parking.
viii. LOS of Road Safety
With increasing road traffic, many cities are witnessing rising level of accidents, leading
to rising levels of injuries and fatalities. Level of fatality is an indication of road safety.
Road design and available road infrastructure, traffic management and other such
reasons significantly contribute to road safety. Therefore, fatality rate needs to be
monitored. The benchmark for the same is zero, as ideally fatalities and injuries out of
accidents should be brought down to nil. The parameters (Table 2.50) included to
calculate LOS for this SLB are:
Fatality rate per lakh population
Fatality rate for pedestrian and NMT (%)
Within the number of accidents, the vulnerable road users are pedestrians and
persons with non-motorized vehicles. It is therefore, critical to monitor the extent to
which such road users are impacted within the overall set of road users. The
benchmark value for the same is also zero.
TABLE 2.50: ANALYSIS OF ROAD SAFETY IN JAMMU
1 Fatality rate LOS1<=2 persons, LOS2=
135 (Fatalities) /
per lakh 2 – 4 persons, LOS3= 4 – 6 >6 4

2 Fatality rate LOS1<=20%, LOS2= 20 - Lack of NMT and
for pedestrian 40, LOS3= 40 - 60, pedestrian >60 4
& NMT LOS4>60% infrastructure
Overall LOS 8
The calculated level of Service (LOS) of Road Safety = (LOS1 + LOS2). The overall LOS of
road safety obtained is 8. From the overall LOS it can be concluded that Level of
Fatality rate in a city is very high. High rate of fatality can be contributed to lack of
traffic management, especially at intersections, lack of organized public transport
system and lack of enforcement.
ix. LOS of Pollution Levels
This indicates the Level of air Pollutants in the city i.e. average level of pollution in
urban areas. The indicator to calculate the pollution levels is Annual Mean
Concentration Range (µg/m3). Parameters (Table 2.51) to assess the LOS for this SLB
are:
Level of SO2
Level of Oxides of Nitrogen
Level of RSPM (Size less than 10 microns)
TABLE 2.51: ANALYSIS OF POLLUTION LEVELS IN JAMMU

The calculated level of Service (LOS) of Pollution Levels = (LOS1 + LOS2 + LOS 3 + LOS4).
The overall LOS of pollution levels obtained is 5. From the overall LOS it can be
concluded that SO2 and NOX are observed to be within the permissible limits. However,
RSPM levels are found to be severe which can be due to varied reasons including
industrial activities, transport pollution, weather and construction activities etc. One of
the reasons for high RSPM is also the issue of poor road maintenance and unpaved
shoulders. As such, it is recommended that utilization of complete RoW should be
attempted by constructing footpath and widening of Carriageways (wherever
applicable) which would increase the road capacities and decrease the pedestrian
vehicle conflict. Thus, improve the emission standard and decrease the pollution level.

x. LOS of Integrated Land Use Transport System
It Indicates the effectiveness of land use-transport arrangements and Identify the level
of integrated land use transport system expected to result in overall trip reduction and
mode shift in favor of public transit. The parameters (Table 2.52) are:

of 21 suggests that there is lack of organized public transport system in the city.
xi. LOS of Financial Sustainability of Public Transport
As discussed earlier, the city lacks an organized public transport system. The
parameters (Table 2.53) are:
Extent of Non-Fare Revenue (%): All city transit system operators to achieve a
minimum of 20% and above share.
Staff /bus ratio: To keep at a level as defined in LOS 2 or above.
Operating Ratio: To take the operating ratio to at least 1.

The calculated level of Service (LOS) of financial sustainability of public transport by

bus = (LOS1 + LOS2 + LOS3). The overall LOS obtained is 12. Though the overall LOS
suggests that the public transport of the city is not financially sustainable, in reality,
the city is lacking organized public transport system.

TRANSPORT DEMAND ASSESSMENT
Final CMP Chapter 3: Transport Demand Assessment
3. TRANSPORT DEMAND
ASSESSMENT
3.1. DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS AS USUAL SCENARIO
3.1.1. COVERAGE
The travel demand assessment in urban environment is a complex exercise involving a
large number of parameters and warrants the development of a transport model at
the City level.
The transportation modeling process consists of development of formulae (or

models), enabling forecast of travel demand, and development of alternative
strategies for handling this demand. It is not just one model, but a series of inter-
linked and inter-related models of varying levels of complexity, dealing with different
facets of travel demand. Through these models, the transportation study process as a
whole is checked and calibrated before it is used for future travel predictions.
CUBE software developed by Citilabs has been used for the travel demand modelling
exercise. The software can address the impact of new landuse developments as
envisaged by master plan. Cube is fully capable of modeling typical mixed traffic flow
conditions such as private transport (car and two wheeler) and public transport
(Minibus, bus and rail based mass transit systems).
Transport demand is a function of landuse and the growth of demand in various years
vary depending upon the interrelationship of various landuse and traffic intensity in
future years. Some of the major inputs to an urban transport demand model are:
Delineation of study area into smaller traffic zones

Population (existing and proposed at traffic zone level)
Employment (existing and proposed at traffic zone level)
Transport network and system (along with their respective carrying capacity
and speed of each type of network/system)
Speed and frequency of operation of the proposed System.
Intermodal integration facilities available and time required for passengers to
interchange from one mode to another. This will also include the walking time
required to access a particular System.
RITES Ltd. Page 3-1

Detailed traffic and travel surveys have been carried out as part of the assignment to
establish the existing transport demand in the study area. The standard 4 stage Urban
Transport Planning System model has been adopted that consists of:
Trip Generation and Attraction Sub Model
Trip Distribution Sub Model
Modal Split Sub Model
Assignment Sub Model
To understand the travel pattern of the City, a total of 174 zones called traffic analysis
zones have been identified. Considering the ease of getting required zonal
information, administrative wards were considered as zones within the municipal
area. The areas that fall within study area but outside the municipal boundary have
been divided into zones based on homogenous land use and traffic generation points.
A total of 164 internal zones inside study area and 10 external zones have been
considered for the study.
Zone connectors are included in the model to allow the trip matrices to be assigned to
the road network. All zones were provided with at least one zone connector. The
location and definition of connector is intended to assimilate, as far as possible, the
actual connectivity of trip generation centers to the road network. The zoning system
adopted for the study area is already presented in chapter-2. The sequence of
activities involved in the model is depicted in Figure 3.1.
3.1.2. SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROJECTIONS

i. Landuse Transitions
Estimation of planning parameters is one of the important aspects of traffic demand

modelling exercise. Planning parameters include population and employment of the
Study area. The Landuse transitions have been taken into account while projecting the
future years' population and employment. The Jammu Master Plan-2032 has been
taken as base for this exercise. The estimation is done for both base year and horizon
years 2024, 2034 and 2044. Base year parameters have been derived based on Census
2011, Master Plan 2032 and data collected from Jammu Municipal Corporation.
ii. Demographic Projection
The population of surrounding towns of Jammu is also expected to grow rapidly due to
its close proximity to Jammu. This will result in higher traffic interaction between the
city and these towns. Population forecast based on the growth trends taken
separately for Core, Middle, Outer and special areas collectively forming the study
area in addition to existing growth pattern from Census Data. The Study area
population in 2017 was about 14.2 and 2019 is estimated as 14.9 Lakh.

Accordingly, the population in the study area for the horizon years 2024, 2034 and
2044 is presented in Table 3.1.

#RITES estimates
The distribution of population in horizon years amongst various traffic zones is based
on land use and population density for core, middle and outer areas as derived from
Master Plan for Jammu- 2032.
iii. Employment Projection
WFPR as observed in the base year 2017 is 24.0%. The employment for year 2011 has
been worked out from the census data figures and has been extrapolated to obtain
employment figures of year 2019. Keeping in view the economic profile of the study
area, development prospects and transport intervention policies, WFPR of 25.4%,
27.8% and 29.9% has been assumed from Jammu Master Plan 2032 for the Horizon
years 2024, 2034 and 2044 respectively. Thus, it has been estimated that 8.0 lakh
workers would comprise the workforce in the study area by 2044. Table 3.2 shows the
growth trend in employment in the study area. Table 3.3 gives the distribution of
forecasted population and employment by zone level for base and horizon years.

3.1.3. DEVELOPMENT OF BASE YEAR TRAVEL DEMAND MODEL

i. Model Structure
The model is based on motorized trip productions / attractions and internal trips of
study area residents for the year 2017. These modes of travel (i.e. Car, Two wheeler,
Auto-rickshaw and Public Transport including Bus & Mini bus) comprise about 29.94
Lakh daily trips. The remaining trips are those relating to non-mechanized trips (walk,
cycle and cycle rickshaw).
Four sub models are developed viz. Generation, Attraction, Distribution, Modal choice
and Assignment models (Figure 3.2)

Generation and Attraction models calculate trips generated and attracted by

each zone;
Distribution models distribute trips generated into the possible destinations
and provide matrix of total trips;
Modal choice models split total trip matrix by mode;
Assignment models represent the last stage of the model, build paths, assign
origin / destination (OD) matrices, and finally provide loaded networks
RITES Ltd. Page 3-9

(average hour and peak hour);
Model development is largely based on the Households Interview Survey (HIS) and
other traffic surveys after expansion from survey sample to total population. This is
calculated at a zonal level.
The next step was to build the base year Road matrices necessary to obtain costs for
the model development (distribution and modal choice).
The base year HIS person matrices converted to vehicles using occupancy factors,
external zones trip matrices from road side interview at Outer Cordon locations and
special generators (Bus, Railway station, Airport) matrices to get total traffic across the
study area.
ii. Trip Generation & Attraction
Trip generation is the first stage of the travel demand estimation process. Trip
Generation modeling aims at predicting the total number of trips generated by and
attracted to each zone of the study area from the estimated future land use activities.
Thus, the two components of trip generation modeling are:
Trip Production: This is defined as the home end of a home based trip or as the origin
of a non-home based trip. It thus gives the total trips produced by a zone.
Trip Attraction: This is defined as the non-home end of a home-based trip or as the
destination of a non-home based trip. It thus, gives the total trips attracted to a zone.
a. Factors Affecting Trip Generation
The factors that affect Trip Generation can be categorized into following categories:
Land Use Factors: Population, Indicators of Intensity of Residential Activity,

Intensity of Employment Opportunities, Land Values etc.
Household Factors: Household Income, Vehicle Ownership, Family Size, Family
Structure etc.
Urbanization Factors: Degree of Urbanization, Distance from CBD, Accessibility etc.
b. Trip Purposes
The purpose of the trip can be broadly categorized in home based trips & non-home
based trips. Home based trips are those in which one of the either trip ends is at the
home while the non-home based are those in which neither end is at home. Different
transportation studies have adapted different classification systems for trip purpose
depending upon the planning issues involved and the size of the city. The trip
generation model has been developed for home based trips in aggregation while the
trip attraction model incorporates the 4 trip purposes of home base work (HBW),

home base business (HBB), home base education (HBE) and home base other (HBO)
trips for the study.
c. Mathematical Forms
Trip Production Equations
The general form of the work trip production equation developed is
Ti = a + b*(IVi)
Where,
Ti = Trips produced from zone i
a = constant (unexplained part of the relationship)
b=parameter explaining the dependency on the independent variable and
representing the Trip Rate
IVi = Independent Variable in zone i
Trip Attraction Equations
The general form of the trip attraction equation developed is
Tj = a + b*(IVj)
Where,
Tj = Trips attracted to zone j
a = constant (unexplained part of the relationship)
b = parameter explaining the dependency on the independent variable
IVj = Independent Variable in zone j
d. Trip Generation Sub Model
The linear regression analysis was used to develop the trip production and trip
attraction equations. A zonal regression model was used in which each traffic zone is
treated as one observation. The aggregated analysis has been applied for developing
the model which is based on the assumption that contiguous households exhibit a
certain amount of similarity in travel characteristics. This assumption allows the data
in a zone to be grouped and the mean value of the independent variable used in
further calculations. The trip production and attraction output in terms of the
correlation coefficients are given in Table 3.4.

e. Trip Attraction Model
The Generation model produces daily person trips (all purpose combined) generated
by zone, whilst the attraction model estimates daily person trips attracted by zone.

For each of the 4 purpose groups, a linear regression was estimated, explaining the
number of trips attracted by the socio-economic data, total employment for HBW,
HBB & HBO and school enrolments for HBE. To be consistent with the generation
model, the attraction model is based on PA.
The coefficient of Determination R2 is the deciding factor for linear regression analysis.
The more R2 is near to 1, more the linear regression is reliable. For instance, Figure 3.4
presents the linear regression of HBW trips with R-square value equal to 0.76 showing
a good match between the data from HIS and the estimated values from the linear
regression. Table 3.6 details the summary of the output for Trip Production Model.

iii. Trip Distribution
After determining the trip productions (Ti) and trip attraction (Tj), the next stage is to
link the productions with attractions in order to quantify how the trips are produced in
a zone and are distributed among or attracted to all other zones (Tij).
A number of methods are available which explains and predicts the distribution of
trips. These are:
Growth Factor Models
Gravity Models
Opportunity Models
Stochastic Behavioral Models
a. Model Method and Description
Of the above four types of models available for trip distribution stage of travel
demand modeling, Gravity Model has been most widely used in previous studies and
suits the present study most due to data availability and its better applicability in the
future.
The more recent trip models have the least resemblance with this original version, but
the generic name still continues. The basic philosophy is to relate productions and
attractions of different zones with quantum of trip modeling between individual zone
pairs.
Tij=RiCj Pi Aj f ( Wij )
Where,
Tij= Trips between zonal pairs i and j
Pi=Trip Production at zone i = i Tij
Aj= Trip Attractions at zone j = j Tij
f ( Wij ) = Function separating zonal pairs i & j typically known as Friction Factor
Ri and Cj = Constants of proportionality
b. Gravity Model Types
Gravity models can be run in Cube with/ without constraints. The types of Gravity

Models are:
i. Unconstrained
ii. Production Constrained (Singly Constrained)
iii. Attraction Constrained (Singly Constrained)
iv. Fully Constrained (Doubly Constrained)
The variations in the Gravity Models mentioned above are the result of variations in
satisfying these productions and attractions conditions.
i. Unconstrained Gravity Model - This takes the following shape
Tij= K Pi Aj f ( Wij )
Where,
K =Constant of proportionality which ensures that the total number of trips from
the model output equals to the total number of trips in the survey matrix. But there
is no guarantee that the sums of the rows and columns of the matrix will balance
individually with the survey total.
ii. Production Constrained Gravity Model - This model is of the form
Tij = Pi Aj f ( Wij )
Aj f ( Wij )
This ensures that when summed across the rows of the model Tij matrix, the individual
zone trip origin totals equal the corresponding observed trip totals.
iii. Attraction Constrained Gravity Model - They are of the following type
Tij = Ai pj f ( Wij )
Pj f ( Wij )
Here the constant of proportionality guarantees that when summed down the
columns of the model Tij matrix the zonal trip destinations equal the corresponding
observed trip destination total.
iv. Fully constrained Gravity Models- They are as follows:
Tij = Ri Cj Pi Aj f ( Wij )
Ri = 1
Ri Pi f ( Wij )
The constant of proportionality now becomes the joint product of R i and Cj. It is known
as balancing or normalizing factor. The purpose is to ensure that the model T ij
Attractions and Productions match the observed T ij Attractions and Productions.

c. Gravity Model Development and Calibration

For the practical purpose of gravity model application in the study area and
distribution of the observed Tij for other zone pairs where zero trips were observed in
sample matrix, fully constrained gravity model has been chosen for the base year. The
models were developed based on the HIS database and the generalized costs (GC)
produced from the private and public transport cost models implemented in Cube
Voyager software. The main features of the models are as follows:
Unit: person (productions / attractions – PA);
Period: daily;
Model formulation: gravity model, based on composite GC presented in

The composite GC is the average of the GC for individual modes weighted by modal
split proportions (produced by modal split models) by origin / destination movements.
The measure of deterrence is the perceived inter-zonal generalised cost (this is what
the traveller unconsciously thinks it costs him to travel from one place to another).
For each pair of zones, generalised cost by different modes is determined. For any
inter-zonal trip, the cost between each of the two zone centroids and between them
and the appropriate actual network nodes is added to establish the least cost journey
through the whole network between the zones. For example, for a trip including one
or more public transport links and walk links thereto, the public transport generalised
cost is made up of:
Walking time to bus stop (from notional centroid link)
Waiting time at bus stop
Travelling time on bus
Interchange waiting time – where appropriate
Walking time from bus stop to destination (by notional centroid link)
For individual modes, the GC represents perceived costs, where the unit is minute
equivalent, implying the use of values of time by mode to convert monetary costs
(fare, vehicle operating cost - VOC) into minutes. Occupancy factors (OCC) are also
used for car, 2w, and auto to obtain person based GC. The GC by mode is described


below:
 Car GC = Time + [((VOC) / OCC) / VOT] x 60;
 2W GC = Time + [((VOC) / OCC) / VOT] x 60;
 Auto GC = Time + 1.5 x Wait Time + [(Fare / OCC) / VOT] x 60;
 PT GC = IVT + 1.5 x Walk Time + 2 x Wait Time + (Fare / VOT) x 60 + Transfer Time;
d. Gravity Model – Calibration Results
The sequence of activities involved in the calibration of Gravity Model is shown in
Figure 3.6. This section provides the distribution models calibration results by the
segments: X1 and X2 parameters, average GC (in minutes), and trip GC distribution. As
illustrated by Table 3.8 the overall models results are almost similar to the HIS
database.

Calibration process included comparison of observed and simulated mean trip time
(minutes) as well as shapes of the trip time frequency distribution.
For developing speed flow relationship, data from Road User Cost Study was adopted
and used to calculate calibration factors of Curve. The form of equation (power curve)
used for the study is as under;
t(v) = t0 + (tc – t0) (v/c)n

Where tc = t0 + acn is the travel time at capacity. This form is sometimes easier for
user manipulation since it uses only basic variables and removes the necessity to
calculate the value of the coefficient ‘a’.
iv. Modal Split Model
The modal split model is developed based on the HIS database and the Generalised
Costs (GC) produced from the private and public transport cost models implemented
in Cube Voyager software.
The total trips are split into two major group of private and public mode of travel.
Then private modes are further divided into car, 2w, and auto. PT trips are separated
between Mini bus and metro services during the assignment stage. It should be noted
that the PT matrix produced by the modal split model contains trips using school,
chartered, and public buses, but only the last category is retained for the PT
assignment, the other two groups (school and chartered buses) not using the public
network. However, these are taken into account in the Road assignment. The main
features of the modal split model are as follows:
4 modes: Car, two wheelers, auto, and PT,
Unit: person (productions / attractions – PA);
Period: daily;
Model formulation: Combined Split, Multi-Logit Formulas (equations provided
in Figure 3.7, where P means Probability and C is the Generalised Cost);

Logit Parameters Estimation: The mode choice sensitivity revealed by the

model is mainly determined by the parameter . This model parameter was
developed based on statistical regression analysis, which also provided some
initial estimates on the mode biases between private and public modes of
travel. As shown by Figure 3.8 for illustrative purpose only (example with
Private versus Public Travel modes), when increases, the model becomes
more responsive to the difference in cost.
The GC represents perceived costs, where the unit is minute equivalent, implying the
use of Values of Time by mode to convert monetary costs (fare and vehicle operating
cost - VOC) into minutes.

v. Modal Split Calibration Results
Table 3.9 demonstrates that there is close correspondence between the synthesized
and observed values from the HIS. The following observations can be made:
In theory, for any multi-logit model with two possible choices, there is one bias factor
available. Calibrated Modal Choice Model has been developed with the Lambda
parameters between private & public transport as (-) 0.08957.

vi. Trip Assignment Models
The trip assignment procedure determines the route choice of trip maker to whole or
a part of a network and is the last part of travel demand modeling process where the
inter-zonal modal trips are assigned to the various links of the network. There are at
least four factors that lead people to choose one route over another. They are travel
time, generalized travel cost, Travel distance and level of service. Taking a single
parameter to determine the shortest path between each zone pair assumes that there
is only one preferred path between each origin and destination. The traffic assignment
itself can be of various type like All or Nothing Assignment, Capacity Restrain
Assignment and Multipath Assignments.
The Road assignment is a multiple user class assignment using equilibrium algorithm
and capacity constraint. In this method of assignment, trip matrices are loaded onto
the network, using an incremental assignment method. The trip matrices are assigned
to the shortest paths generated successively after assignment of small lots each of 15-
20% increment of the trips matrices. The incremental assignment proceeds by
updating the transport networks using the speed flow relationships of the links. The
assignment is largely controlled by alternative paths, which are built by the shortest
path algorithm through the network. The output of the assignment is a loaded Road
network with volumes (PCU unit) by link and vehicle type, and network speeds.
For the public transport assignment, the person trips unit is retained. The public
transport network is developed from the Road network following the Road
assignment, a process which produces a loaded road network representing congested
travel times on the road network.
The public transport assignment considers multiple routes at an origin / destination
level, and includes the modeling of fares for different modes. The selection of public
transport route choice is based on the travel costs, including walk access time to bus
or metro stops, wait time, in vehicle time and fare, transfer or interchange walk times
and subsequent wait times, and the time to reach the final destination. The output of
the assignment is a loaded public transport network with patronage by service. The PT
assignment is based on the PT lines file built in Cube Voyager software, which contains
a total of existing 152 “real” lines of mini buses (considering the directionality) in the
study area.

The 4-stage model produces daily matrices therefore a standard average hour factor
of 8% is applied to the matrices for both the daily private and public transport
assignments. Peak hour model assignment is done separately to exhibit the
constrained level of services during the peak hour.
vii. Peak Hour Model Validation
The 4-stage model finally provides Daily & Peak Hour person matrices by mode at the
end of the process including the peak hour external and special generators matrices.
The two screen lines within the study area are presented in the Figure 3.9.
FIGURE 3.9 STUDY AREA SCREEN LINES

viii. Peak Hour Assignments Validation Result

The travel demand model needs to be validated to determine whether it is
reproducing existing traffic conditions. Model validation has been undertaken by
comparing the observed data collected from the traffic volume count surveys for
present assignment with their equivalent synthesized results as produced by the Cube
model. The discrepancies observed at most of the survey locations are within 0-15% of
the actual counts. The peak hour traffic volume on road network in the base year is
presented in Figure 3.10.
FIGURE 3.10 ASSIGNED PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC VOLUME ON NETWORK IN PCU

Table 3.10 shows comparison of observed and assigned flows across the identified
Midblock/Screeline locations. The validation results are quantified through GEH
Statistics using the ‘Validation’ option in Cube. The GEH Statistic is a formula used in
traffic modelling to compare two sets of traffic volumes. Although its mathematical
form is similar to a chi-square test, is not a true statistical test. Rather, it is an
empirical formula that has proven useful for a variety of traffic analysis purposes.
The formula for the "GEH Statistic" is:
Where, M is the hourly traffic volume from the traffic model (or new count) and C is
the real-world hourly traffic count (or the old count).
Using the GEH Statistic avoids some pitfalls that occur when using simple percentages
to compare two sets of volumes. This is because the traffic volumes in real-world
transportation systems vary over a wide range. For traffic modelling work in the
"baseline" scenario, a GEH of less than 7.0 is considered a good match between the
modelled and observed GEHs in the range of 7.0 to 10.0 may warrant investigation.
GEH greater than 10.0 is not acceptable.
For the present study the traffic flows at identified midblock locations are within the
acceptable error range. The model validation results as presented show that the
model accurately replicates the existing travel situation in the study area since the
model figures are close to the observed data, HIS database and traffic counts.
Therefore, the step following the model development, calibration, and validation, is to
provide travel demand forecasts for the future years.
3.1.4. ASSUMPTIONS FOR TRANSPORT DEMAND FORECASTING

(i) The special generator passenger traffic of bus terminals and railway stations in
Jammu is expected to grow at 5% per annum respectively.
(ii) Inter and Intra-city goods traffic is expected to grow at 3% per annum up to
2044.
3.1.5. DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS AS USUAL (BAU) SCENARIO, 2044
Considering the above assumptions and calibrated / validated traffic demand model,
forecasting of transport demand has been carried out for ‘Business as Usual’ (BAU)
scenario in the year 2044. Overall modal split for various modes in this scenario for the
year 2044 is given in Table 3.11. The intra city motorized trips modal split (% of trips
by public transport to total motorized trips) in favor of public transport in 2044 is
expected to be about 32.4% which is even lower than the existing modal share. The
total no. of PT trips will increase from 8.1 Lakh to about 13.2 Lakh indicating a high
capacity mass transport network will be needed to address the travel demand
requirements in the Study area. Traffic assignment for peak hour traffic (in PCU's) on
road network in BAU scenario 2044 is given in Figure 3.11. Figure 3.12 presents the
peak hour public transport assignment in BAU scenario.

3.2. DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN TRANSPORT SCENARIOS
3.2.1. FRAMEWORK FOR SCENARIOS

Business As Usual (BAU) scenario with decreasing share of public transport, Non
Motorized Transport (NMT) and Walk, will not lead the city towards national goals of
sustainable transport and climate change. In order to achieve these goals, Landuse,
Public Transport, NMT and Technological Transitions have been considered as
strategies for developing various Sustainable Urban Transport (SUT) scenarios. It is
expected that adoption of SUT scenario will fulfill the objective of enhancing economic
and social development while mitigating CO2 emissions within the City.

FIGURE 3.11 TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT FOR PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC (IN PCU’S) ON ROAD
NETWORK IN BAU SCENARIO 2044

FIGURE 3.12 PEAK HOUR PT ASSIGNMENT IN BAU SCENARIO 2044

This will enable the city to handle the mobility challenges while considering the
climate change and local environment. The SUT scenarios are based on following
principles:
Changes in urban structure
Enhanced use of non-motorized and public transport infrastructures
Deep emission cuts using low carbon energy sources
Use of highly efficient technologies in vehicles
CMP will identify investment priorities to achieve the sustainable transport goals.
Though, the sustainable scenarios will assume an increase in motorized transport to
some extent, emphasis have been placed on improving technology in terms of
efficiency and emissions. Following four SUT Scenarios have been formulated:
Urban Structure Scenario: Intensive development along high demand PT corridors.

Public Transport Scenario: In addition to Scenario 1, augmentation of PT system.
Non-Motorized Transport Scenario: In addition to Scenario 1 and 2, augmentation of
NMT/walk facilities.
Technology Transition Scenario: in addition to Scenarios 1, 2 and 3, possible shift to
alternative fuels through use of highly efficient technologies.
These strategies will deliver desired benefits when implemented collectively. These
strategies are presented in subsequent paragraphs to gauge the individual effect in
developing the sustainable transport in the City.
3.2.2. TRANSPORT DEMAND ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE

URBAN TRANSPORT
i. URBAN STRUCTURE SCENARIO
Landuse Transition
Urban sprawl and uncontrolled growth of cities result into increase in trip lengths
which are not desirable. Accordingly, compact development of the city is envisaged
with high density and multi-nuclei development to increase share of walk and NMT
and improve access to public transport. To achieve higher density and compact
development, changes in planning and regulatory measures as zoning regulations and
floor area ratio (FAR) are required.
The BAU scenario considers land use pattern as proposed by the Jammu Master Plan -
2032, concentrating the commercial activity in different areas of city. Planning of new

commercial activities to outgrowths of the city would result in better distribution of

population and employment, decongesting the core areas as people in the outgrowths
would not need to travel to the core city for their work, shopping and other activities.
However, this would not discourage the use of motorized modes of transport and will
increase the carbon footprint of the city.
As such, in the Urban Structure Scenario, an alternative pattern of city growth is

envisaged where the commercial activity is spread across the entire city, primarily
along the major travel demand corridors. This scenario will promote a better urban
structure for the city and will also ensure success of an organized public transport in
the city.
Projections and Distribution of Population in Urban Structure Scenario

The urban structure strategy envisages higher population along the major travel
corridors. Accordingly, some of the high demand corridors identified under the BAU
scenario are planned to be developed intensively by increase in FSI/FAR. This presents
us with three categories of Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ) namely:
Class 1: Zones along major travel corridor

Class 2: Core Area Zones
Class 3: Non-Core Area Zones
While the overall population for the city is same as that of BAU scenario, the
distribution of population by traffic zones changes in the Urban Structure scenario in
accordance with the above classification of TAZs. The overall population growth in
Class 1 is assumed to be more than 100% from Year 2019 to Year 2044, the population
in Class 2 and 3 TAZ is assumed to be increased by 30%. The final population for the
three classifications of zones is about 18.43 Lakh, 4.85 Lakh and 3.47 Lakh for Class 1,
2 and 3 respectively in the year 2044 totaling to 26.75 Lakh. It is expected that
increase in FSI/FAR will not only concentrate the population along travel corridor but
will also marginally induce population in the city, not reflected in the projections for
BAU scenario. An additional population of about 2% of the base year population
(about 53.5 thousand) is assumed to be induced as indirect effect of the land use
transitions under this scenario.
Based on above assumption, the city's population projected for year 2044 is 27.3.
Table 3.12 gives the population projected for each TAZ under the Urban Structure
scenario.

Projection and Distribution of Employment in Urban Structure Scenario

Similar to the methodology adopted for projecting population for this scenario,
employment figures have also been projected considering increase in employment
opportunities along major travel demand corridors. The classification of TAZ with
underlying assumptions for projecting employment is given as under:
o Class 1 (Zones along major travel corridor): These are the zones in the influence area
of major travel corridors. The high FSI and FSR coupled with proximity to public
transit are expected to make a major impact on creation of employment
opportunities in these zones. As such, the share of these zones in city's overall
employment in horizon year (2044) has been assumed to increase to 44%.
o Class 2 (High employment zones): These are the zones with high share in overall
employment in city's. However, as these zones are already congested, the growth of
these zones is assumed to be impacted negatively due to projected positive growth
of Class 1 zones. As such, the share of these zones in horizon year (2044) city's
employment is assumed to be reduced to 24 %.
o Class 3 (Core Area Zones): Apart from the existing high employment zones and future
high employment zones assumed along major travel corridors, there are zones which
fall in the core area/main city but are not covered under any of the above two
classes. The employment is assumed to reduce to 17% by 2044 due to advent of
Class 1 and organic growth of Class 2 zones.
o Class 4 (Non-Core Area Zones): These zones generally lie in the outgrowths of the city
and are not under direct influence of a transit corridor or are an existing high
employment zone. The employment is assumed to reduce to 15% in the year 2044.
As in the case of population, the change in the urban structure is expected to induce
new employment in the city. An additional employment of about 2% of the base year
employment is assumed in the year 2044 under the Urban Structure scenario. The
total employment in the horizon year 2044 is projected to be 8.17 Lakh. Zone wise
distribution of employment for various horizon years is given in Table 3.13.

Figure 3.13 shows the public transport routes considered in the study and accordingly
coded in CUBE for transport demand forecast. The modal share for Urban Structure
scenario in Year 2044 as derived from transport demand model is presented in Table
3.14

FIGURE 3.13 PUBLIC TRANSPORT ROUTES IN URBAN STRUCTURE SCENARIO (YEAR 2044)

Total 4174021 100.0

It can be seen that the modal share in favour of public transport has increased from
32.4% under BAU Scenario to 34.0% respectively. Also, the modal share of car and 2
wheeler is lower in Urban Structure scenario at 13.3% and 21.2%. Figure 3.14 gives a
snapshot of the peak hour network loads under the Urban Structure scenario.

ii. PUBLIC TRANSPORT SCENARIO
With sprawling cities and better economic levels, there is an increase in vehicle
ownership and in absence of safe and reliable public transport people are forced to
use private vehicles for their travel needs. Public transport can serve to mitigate the
economic and environmental burden that increased vehicle ownership has imposed
on the cities or population. Improvement in public transport not only includes the
public transport infrastructure but also its accessibility, land use integration and NMT
infrastructure.
In public transport scenario, the existing public transport infrastructure has been
envisaged to be improved by introduction of 13 new bus routes on all the major
corridors across entire Study Area including the suitable headway reduction, providing
more comfort and safety as compared to existing public transport modes. The
enhanced public transport routes considered in Public Transport scenario are
presented in Figure 3.15. Better routing and scheduling, improved frequency, better
bus stop design, increased public transport network, improve bus speed, overall safety
and bus user comfort have been assumed in this scenario. In addition to the improved
bus service, mass rapid transit system (MRTS) on selected high demand corridors have
also been considered in this scenario. All these public transport interventions have
been incorporated in the transport demand model for horizon year 2044.
By improving and expanding infrastructure, accessibility to public transit, and

integrating land use, changed mode choice have been derived from the 4 stage model.
The Urban Structure scenario growth patterns, which have been modulated as such to
provide higher accessibility to public transport, are taken as the base and an iterative
process of public transport development is considered for this analysis. The public
transport improvement scenario presents the analysis carried out to estimate the
likely shift from car and 2-wheeler to public transport. In this scenario, the availability
and quality of public transport is increased incrementally and the likely shift it induces
is observed.
With many public transport interventions, the modal share of public transport is
expected to increase in this scenario. Table 3.15 shows the aggregate modal share in
Public Transport scenario as derived from the travel demand model.

FIGURE 3.15: ENHANCED PUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORK IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT SCENARIO

(YEAR 2044)

It can be seen from the above table that the modal share in favour of car, 2 wheeler
and auto has been decreased from 13.3%, 21.2% and 2.6% under Urban Structure
Scenario to 12.0%, 20.2% and 2.3% respectively. The modal share in favour of public
transport has been increased from 33.9% to about 36.4%.
Due to public transport interventions in this scenario, the trips from private vehicles
i.e. car, 2 wheeler and auto have been shifted to public transport. The major shift to
public transport can be seen from 2 wheelers. The modal share of cycle and walk
remains same as observed in Urban Structure scenario. Figure 3.16 shows the link-
wise peak hour public transport loads on the network under public transport scenario.
FIGURE 3.16 PEAK HOUR PT ASSIGNMENT IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT SCENARIO (YEAR 2044)

iii. NON-MOTORIZED TRANSPORT SCENARIO
Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) modes are the cleanest transport mode and
interventions for the infrastructure improvement of NMT modes are necessary for
sustainable urban transport in the City. As such, this scenario is assumed to increase
the modal share of walk and NMT in the city. Safe walking and cycling infrastructure is
envisaged under this scenario for better safety and to promote walk and NMT as a
preferred mode in the city in addition to the interventions considered under Urban
Structure and Public Transport scenarios.
The assumed infrastructure under the NMT scenario will include continuous footpaths
and cycle paths, good crossing facilities, parking for cyclists, signal prioritization,
strong parking policies and strict enforcement to remove the hindrances on NMT

iv. TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION UNDER A LOW CARBON SCENARIO
The Technology Transition scenario is envisaged in progression to the NMT scenario.

Though under the NMT scenario, there is an increment in the share of NMT and walk
trips, substantial share of trips will continue to be catered by motorized modes
including public transport modes as bus and shared autos. As such, it is imperative to
reduce consumption of conventional source of energy for motorized modes.
Fuel mix shares used as inputs to estimation of emissions of CO 2 and other pollutants
for year 2044 based on Niti Aayog RMI Study May 2017 are summarized in Table 3-17.

3.2.3. CO2 EMISSIONS AND AIR QUALITY
Emissions of CO2 as well as other pollutants have been estimated using factors given in CMP
Toolkit 2014 for Sustainable Urban Transport scenario. CO 2 emissions resulting from grid
power generation required for rail based mass transport operation have been accounted
for. Emissions from passenger vehicles under the various scenarios are presented in Table 3-
19 to Table 3-20 using the following:
Presence of electric vehicles as in 2030 as per RMI-Niti Aayog report of May 2017: 40%
of cars and 2 wheelers and 100% of 3 wheelers and buses could run on electricity
Emission factors for CO2 and other pollutants and fuel efficiency factors from CMP
Toolkit 2014 for sustainable transport scenario
Generation of other pollutants are negligible for 3-wheeler and buses as 100%

It is seen that CO2 emissions are likely to decrease from 512 tons in BAU scenario to
219 tons in Land use scenario; other pollutants are also likely to decrease in Land use
scenario. However in Public Transport scenario, CO2 emissions increased to 230 tons
which will be contributed by rail based transit and electric vehicles. Benefits in other
pollutants due to introduction of rail based transit and electric vehicles. NMT scenario
has marginal benefit of reducing CO2 from 230 tons to 229 tons and marginal benefit
in emissions of other pollutants.
Reduction of other pollutants during PT and NMT scenarios has been envisaged by
projecting diversification of fuel from existing petrol and diesel to electricity. The
improvement in technology has been assumed by the year 2044 such as the vehicle
efficiency in terms of engine output / unit of fuel is considerably higher than that in
the present scenario.
3.2.4. ANALYSIS AND INDICATORS

On the basis of above analysis, a comparative picture has been drawn to assess the
impact each scenario has on the travel pattern and environment. Following
parameters have been taken into account for preparing a comparative picture among
various scenarios:
Modal Share: Change in share of various modes, with increase in share of Public
Transport and NMT modes and decrease in modal share of private modes
indicates a sustainable future.
Trip Length: Shorter trip lengths indicate shorter time spent in commuting
between two places whereas increase in trip length of a particular mode indicates
preference to that particular mode due to availability of allied infrastructure.
Veh-km: Vehicle km travelled by each mode is the most tangible indicator for
comparing scenarios. For example, a scenario with highest vehicle km travelled by
car/2 wheelers in comparison to other scenarios, indicates an unsustainable
future.
Environmental impacts will be positive for the city due to technology transition in
favour of electric vehicle.

The Table 3.21 presents the comparative picture for various scenarios.

The figures in the above table indicate the differences between various scenarios as
follows:
Modal Share: The cumulative modal share of car and 2 wheelers is increasing from
26.6% under base year to 35.7% under the BAU scenario. However, scenarios
formulated under the Sustainable Urban Transport indicate decreasing mode
share of car and 2 wheelers with 34.5 share under Urban Structure scenario, 32.1%
share under the Public Transport scenario and 32.0% share under the NMT
scenario. The share of public transport increases from 32.4% under BAU to 36.4%
under Public transport scenario.
Trip Length: The trip length of NMT remains constant (3.9 km) under Base Year
and NMT scenario. This is resultant of good NMT infrastructure in place and
positively affects the veh-km travelled by each mode as given under. The trip
length of PT increases from 3.9 km under Base Year to 6.1 km under PT scenario.

Veh-km: The veh-km by Car, 2 Wheelers and Private Auto is lower by approx 1.3
Lakh under the NMT scenario as compared to BAU scenario.
CO2 Emissions per Day: As indicated above, with decrease in share of private
motorized trips, the CO2 emissions also reduce from BAU (512 Tonne/day) to PT
scenario (230 Tonne/day) by about 55%. However, huge savings of are accrued
from envisaged change in the vehicle technologies from conventional fuel to
electricity (224 Tonne/day) i.e. 19% lower than the base year and 56% lower than
the BAU scenario.
3.3. CONCLUSIONS
As evident from above analysis, the city is benefitted from NMT Scenario in terms of
increase in Modal Share, Trip Length and veh-km for NMT modes. However,
considering improvement in environment, the Technology Scenario is the most suited
scenario for the City as it includes the following benefits:
Development of compact city
Shorter trip lengths and improved access to public transport
Reliable, comfortable and safe public transport
Increase in modal share of walk and NMT
Considerably lower emissions from all the other scenarios
As such, the Technology Scenario is recommended for next stage i.e. the Proposal
Formulation and Implementation Plan.

DEVELOPMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE
MOBILITY PLAN
Final CMP Chapter 4: Development of CMP
4. DEVELOPMENT OF
COMPREHENSIVE MOBILITY PLAN
4.1. INTEGRATED LAND USE AND URBAN MOBILITY PLAN
Transport is an induced demand dependent on the land use. Conversely, availability
of transport influences the urban structure. Integrated land use and transport is the
key factor towards planning sustainable cities. As per the National Urban Transport
Policy (NUTP), transport planning is intrinsically linked to land use planning and both
need to be developed together in a manner that serves the entire population and yet
minimizes travel needs. An integrated master plan needs to internalize the features
of sustainable urban transport. In developing such plans, attention should be paid to
channel the future growth of a city around a pre- planned urban transport network
rather than develop urban transport after uncontrolled sprawl has taken place. In
line with this, an integrated landuse and urban mobility plan has been envisaged
under this Study.
4.1.1. Recommended Urban Structure
The land use pattern proposed by the Jammu Master Plan - 2032 concentrates the
commercial activity in different areas of city including the core area. The dispersed
landuse planning would encourage the use of motorized modes of transport and will
increase the carbon footprint of the city. Therefore, under the present Study it is
recommended that intensive development to be taken up along major travel
demand corridors. Higher grade of public transport system could be planned along
these corridors for facilitating passenger movement. The major travel corridors are
indicated under the Public Transport Improvement Plan in subsequent section. The
intensive development corridor is presented in Figure 4.1.
4.1.2. Recommended FAR
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the relationship between the total amount of usable floor
area that a building has, or has been permitted for the building, and the total area of
the plot on which the building stands. A higher ratio indicates intensive
development. The Jammu Master Plan 2032 recommends maximum FAR of 2.1 for
commercial areas. To ensure intensive development along major mobility corridors
envisaged under the present Study, it is proposed that the FAR may be increased on
the line of Master Plan 2032 and /or as per the TOD guidelines that shall be finalized
for the state of J&K.
RITES Ltd. Page 4-1

FIGURE 4.1: INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT CORRIDOR
4.2. FORMULATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT IMPROVEMENT PLAN

Public transportation system is planned to be a combination of a high capacity
corridors and medium to low capacity feeder system. The trunk network is proposed
for mass transport operations and has been planned for development of intensive
land use generating high passenger demand.
Choice of mode to be proposed depends mainly on the expected public transport

demand on selected corridors, capacity of the considered modes and availability of
RoW. Other considerations are the landuse along the corridor, the location of
building lines, and the potential for increasing the RoW. Cost of the same mode of
transport can vary at different locations depending on engineering constraints. It is
therefore, important that the final choice of mode is based on techno-economic
considerations.
RITES Ltd. Page 4-2

Using the same principle, mass rapid transit system has been proposed on high
capacity corridors. The description of the same has been given in subsequent
sections.
4.2.1. Proposed Integrated Transport System:

It is not possible to provide end-to-end services to all commuters by a single mode.
However; the driving force has been to minimize the need to interchange, and
whenever change is inevitable, make it as convenient as possible. The CMP,
therefore, proposes an integrated multi-modal transport system for 2044 consisting
of MRTS, City bus service, Bus Terminals with integrated ticket system and IPT
System to meet the existing and future travel demand. The details of individual
system are described in subsequent paragraphs. An integrated multi-modal
transport system is presented in Figure 4.2.
4.2.2. Proposed Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) Corridors
MRTS, high capacity demand corridor has been identified on the basis of travel
demand for public transport scenario for Jammu is proposed as shown in Table 4.1 &
Figure 4.3. The maximum PHPDT of phase -1 MRTS corridor is 16400 in 2044.The
Total length of proposed MRTS network is 46.0 km (Phase -1 is 23 km and Phase-2 is
also 23 km).

4.2.3. City Bus System Plan
Under the public transport scenario, the existing public transport system is proposed
to be upgraded by introduction of reliable bus service with AC buses along all major
roads, providing more comfort and safety as compared to existing bus system. A
total of 13 major bus routes have been identified across Study Area on which bus
based PT system is proposed to be operated with more frequency AC bus services.
These are the major route carrying high capacity of travel demand that may be
served by bus system. The total length of identified bus system network is about 192
km. The details of proposed major routes for city bus network are presented in

FIGURE 4.4: CITY BUS ROUTE NETWORK
a. Strategy for Augmentation of Bus Fleet
As part of the public transport, augmenting the existing city bus services has been
considered by taking 60 buses per lakh population as per LoS 1 of SLB. The public
transport for Jammu is derived considering all the factors of existing situation and
the best possible reorganization factoring all components of an efficient and
sustainable system. The fleet size was estimated based on providing LoS 1 and travel
demand (estimated ridership considering modal shift).
RITES Ltd. Page 4-7

The fleet requirement for the proposed bus system comes out to be 1600 for horizon
year 2044. It is proposed that all the buses must have GPS, security cameras and
panic buttons linked to a control center for incident detection and swift response.
This fleet size will require 3 depots for parking and maintenance of the buses. The
narrow widths of the road network and requirement of high frequency bus services,
mini bus based operations have been proposed in the city with a minimum
frequency of 10-15 minutes.
b. Bus Infrastructure Requirement
Presently, there are two main bus terminals in Jammu, one is B. C. Road Bus
Terminal and other is Railway Station Bus Terminal. All the inter-city buses presently
originate and terminate at these terminals. Terminal area of both is insufficient to
cater to existing operations. As a result, there is spill over of terminal activities on
adjoining roads resulting in congestion and chaos in the area.
As underlined in Master Plan -2032, to meet the future travel demand, three
additional intercity bus terminals are proposed on NH-44 near Purmandal Chowk,
near Nagrota and on Akhnoor Road near Nagbani. For proper functioning, all these
terminals are proposed to be connected.
The existing B.C. Road bus terminal, which is under construction shall be used for
intra-& Inter-city bus operations and Jammu Railway station bus terminals will also
be planned for Intra-City & Intercity bus operations under phase I. The five bus
terminals are proposed at Panjtirthi, Purmanadal Chowk, Nagbani, Nagrota and
Transport Nagar for smooth functioning of bus system. The four bus depots are also
proposed at Transport Nagar, Nagrota, Nagbani and Purmandal Chowk. The details
of these proposed terminals/depots are presented in Table 4.3 & Figure 4.5.

FIGURE 4.5: PROPOSED BUS TERMINALS AND DEPOTS IN JAMMU
c. Bus Stops
The existing public transport (bus stops/ Shared Auto stop) are un-organized in a
whole city, wherever the commuter waves for it they stopped. Non schedule
stoppages affect the traffic stream and the productivity of the mode. Accordingly,
sufficient bus stops to be planned along the proposed bus routes in the city to
support the smooth passengers boarding/ alighting for efficient proposed bus
transport system.
The bus stops should provide comfort and convenience to passengers as well as give
a distinct identity to the system. Weather protection along with ticketing and
RITES Ltd. Page 4-9

traveler information system is highly desirable features to provide a pleasant

experience (Figure 4.6.)
The placement of bus stops is proposed at a distance of 500 m. The length of the
platform is determined based on detailed service parameters such as peak hour bus
frequency, peak hour passenger flow on the bus stop, routing and stopping plans,
etc. As a thumb rule, for accommodating two buses of 12 m length, a bus-bay of 30
m length may be planned.
FIGURE 4.6: TYPICAL BUS STOP IMAGE
4.2.4. Para-transit System
At present para-transit operation is mainly shared auto rickshaws operated by

individuals. The infrastructure required for their parking/ stops/ terminals etc. is
almost non-existent. As para-transit play an important role in total transport system
envisaged for the city, following recommendations have been proposed to improve
their operations:
Appropriate parking/stands at all locations, such as:
o Commercial areas like shopping malls and retail areas
o Public spaces like parks and tourist locations
o Residential colonies: each colony to have an authorized auto-rickshaw stand.
Stopping and boarding facilities in sync with bus-stops so that the shared auto
services are integrated with city buses and act as a feeder mode to them.
Shared autos to be used as both a primary public transport system in the outgrowth
areas where the demand doesn’t justify as bus system, and as a feeder service to city
buses in other areas based on travel demand.

4.3. PUBLIC TRANSPORT CONNECTIVITY TO JAMMU METROPOLITAN

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AREA
Government of Jammu & Kashmir has enacted a Metropolitan Regional
Development Authority (MRDA) for Jammu Region with an area of about 3185.5
sqkm. The study area for CMP has been taken as the Jammu master Plan -2032 area
of 652 sq km. However, JMRDA Area has also been considered in general by
providing the public transport connectivity to the different parts of JMRDA from the
main city transport system in phase II. The PT connectivity plan from the main city to
the other parts of JMRDA area are planned in Phase II ( Figure 4.7).
FIGURE 4.7 PUBLIC TRANSPORT CONNECTIVITY TO JMRDA AREA

4.4. PREPARATION OF ROAD NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PLAN

4.4.1. The proposed Master Plan exhibits a definitive hierarchy in its structure for proposed
road hierarchy. Apart from the regional roads, the other proposed road network
consists hierarchy of 60 m, 45 m, 30 m, 24 m and 12-18 m wide roads. Other than
these, the existing Roads are kept as it is as approach roads for the settlements.
4.4.2. A ring road of 6 lane divided carriageway is under construction which connects NH-
44 near Jakh in south and near Jagti Township in the north of the Jammu city.
i. Spine Road- 60 m Wide
The proposed plan for the notified area has one major spine cutting across the area.
This central spine road is the existing NH-44 is to be 60 M wide, forming the
commercial/ recreational spine having high intensity development along it.
ii. Arterial Roads- 45 m Wide
The major arterial roads will be R.S. Pura Road having width of 45m. The Nagrota
Bye-Pass and the part of southern Bye-Pass (Gurah Salathian) will be 45m wide Road.
This Road is almost delineating the urban growth boundary.
iii. Sub-Arterial Roads- 24-30 m Wide
The sub-arterial roads are the internal link road that is creating the grid pattern road
network.1-1.5 km grid has been created for the 24m road and 1.5km-2 km grid has
been created for the 30m road.
4.4.3. About 100 km of road network has been identified for widening along with NMT
facilities across the city proposed to be upgraded in phase I. The proposed road
network is presented in Figure 4.8.
4.4.4. Proposed Cross Sections

An overall hierarchy of roads has been indicated in the above sections. To allow road
network to perform efficiently, continuous stretch of the road needs to be
developed as per the recommended cross sections. Four typical cross-sections have
been proposed for corridors of 18m, 30m, 45m, and 60m ROW. The details of the
cross sections are presented in Figure 4.9.
60m ROW: For corridors with 60m ROW, recommended cross section includes
Divider (3.4m), 8 lane divided carriage way for traffic movement (14m both sides),
service belt segregating Service Road from main carriageway (0.75m), Service
Lane for two-way movement of local traffic (7m), NMT lane (3.1m both sides),
Footpath (3m both sides) and Service belt (0.6m wide) for provision of street
lights, street furniture, trees etc.

45m ROW: The 45m ROW is proposed with features such as Divider (3.4m), 8 lane
divided carriage way for traffic movement (14m both sides), NMT lane (3.1m both
sides), Footpath (3m both sides) and Service belt (0.6m wide) for provision of
street lights, street furniture, trees etc. No service road is proposed for 45 m
ROW.
30m ROW: For the 30m Row, proposed cross section includes features as Divider
(1.5m), 6 lane divided carriage way for traffic movement (10.5m both sides), NMV
Lane / Footpath (3.05m both sides) and Service belt (0.6m wide) for provision of
street lights, street furniture, trees etc.
18m ROW: For the 18m Row, proposed cross section includes features as Divider
(0.3m), 2 lane divided carriage way for traffic movement (7m both sides),
Footpath (1.55m both sides) and Service belt (0.15m wide) for provision of street
lights, trees etc.
4.4.5. Proposed New Bridges and Widening of Existing Bridges

The mobility across River Tawi needs to be strengthened and improved. The city is
divided by Tawi River into two parts and is connected by four major bridges. The
traffic volume on all the existing bridges has already exceeded the threshold limit. In
addition to the widening of existing bridges, some new bridges at various places are
proposed to be developed/ constructed in Phase I after carrying out their feasibility
on environmental account and presented in Table 4.4 and Figure 4.8.

4.5. PREPARATION OF NMT FACILITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN

NMT/pedestrian infrastructure is the basic component of sustainable transport for
any City. The provision of NMT facilities in Jammu are proposed to be developed as a
part of the overall road development program. To promote NMT usage, priority has
to be given to pedestrian and NMV safety. This would be addressed by segregation
of NMT from motorized vehicles. It is observed that footpaths, wherever available in
the City, are underutilized. The facility becomes unusable due to discontinuity at
frequent intervals arising out of various factors as encroachment, design flaws and
natural deterioration etc. In order to improve the NMT scenario on ground,
maintenance is to be considered as important provision related to the infrastructure.
Provision of continuous footpaths and NMV lanes for cycle throughout the City
(wherever possible) is recommended to provide the safe mobility environment for
NMT while improving upon the traffic flow. Following measures are recommended
for pedestrian/NMT infrastructure:
Footpaths to be installed on all the mobility corridors throughout the City.

Minimum recommended width for footpaths is 1.5 m to 2.0 m exception
being, roads with ROW below 10 m where footpath of 1.5 m may be provided
to accommodate minimum required carriageway of 7 m.
Footpath should be provided on both sides of the road.
Footpaths to be raised by unmountable kerbs of height 150 mm.
Footpaths wherever discontinued, to be raised by table top crossing.
Strict enforcement to restrict motorized vehicles from entering NMV lanes
and footpaths and also to discourage encroachment and vandalism of the
NMV infrastructure.
All roads with medians to have rail guards to discourage jaywalking along
with opening at every 1 km distance to allow pedestrians to cross with a
pedestrian crossing signal as a minimum requirement.
Zebra crossings to be provided at all at grade junctions.
Total of about 100 km of road network has been identified for provision of NMV /
pedestrian infrastructures have already been presented in Figure 4.8.

4.5.1. Hawkers Zone
Haphazard encroachments by hawkers cause hindrance to the movement of people.

But these are required as an integral part of the Indian bazaars. As this activity is of
informal nature, it usually is carried out on roads. This not only reduces the road
capacities, but also forces the pedestrians to walk on the carriageway, thereby
creating hazardous situations for themselves, pedestrians and the traffic. It is
therefore proposed to include “Hawker Zones” along NMT infrastructure. This will
decongest the major corridors and commercial areas, would ensure encroachment
free footpaths and will limit the anti social elements by providing eyes on the roads.
4.6. "INTER-MODALITY" - INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT OF ALL

MODES INCLUDING NON-MOTORISED TRANSPORT
Inter-modal integration explores the coordinated use of two or more modes of
transport for efficient, speedy, safe, pleasant and comfortable movement of
passengers in urban areas. It provides convenient and economical connection of
various modes to make complete journey from origin to destination.
All the proposals given under Public Transport Improvement Plan i.e. MRTS, Bus
system, Para transit system have been proposed to be integrated with each other for
efficient passenger movement. The NMT have also been integrated with other
motorized modes.
4.7. FREIGHT MOVEMENT PLAN

The freight movement through the CBD is presently restricted on some important
arterials. The Narwal Bala Transport Nagar, Gangyal, Digiana and Bari Brahmana act
as important ITC Nodes. To decongest the existing Transport Nagar it is proposed to
provide new Integrated Freight Complex (IFCs) at the periphery of the city, with all
facilities of wholesale markets, loading/unloading facilities, parking, workshops etc.
All four existing ITCs are planned to be strengthen in phase I and IFCs one each at the
Pathankot Road near Raya Morh and the Akhnoor Road near Gajan Singhpur need to
be developed in the phase II. This proposal will facilitate the developing an outer
Bye-Pass will help diversion of through freight traffic in the city area. The purpose is
to completely segregate the freight and local traffic by locating direction oriented
freight terminals. The locations of the existing ITC and proposed IFCs are presented
in Figure 4.10.

FIGURE 4.10: LOCATIONS OF EXISTING ITC AND PROPOSED INTEGRATED FREIGHT

COMPLEX
4.8. PLANS FOR INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEM

4.8.1. Ticketing System
For better management and governance, pre-board and automated fare collection
and verification are proposed. Smart Card is proposed along with normal ticketing
system.

4.8.1. Information System
Intelligent Transport System is proposed to be implemented with setting up of

System Control Centers (SCC) for the same. ITS features such as traffic signaling,
passenger information, fare collection and integration systems, operations control
and communications to be in place and well integrated. High-quality passenger
information and audio announcements are proposed for convenience of the
passengers on buses and at stations. Bus stations proposed to have real-time next
bus information displays. Passenger information is proposed to be centrally
accessible to monitoring for better management (Figure 4.11).

4.9. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURES

4.9.1. Parking Plan
The CMP aims at promoting use of public transport for sustainability. Providing more
and more parking spaces does not solve the purpose of mobility, as the parking
spaces get eventually exhausted with a high rate of vehicle growth. Instead, existing
off street parking spaces need to be used efficiently to promote only short term
parking.
Raghunath Bazar Road, Kanak Mandi Road, Residency Road, Purani Mandi Road, BC
Road, Hari Market Road, Mubarak Mandi Road, Kachi Chhawni Parking to Pakka
Danga Road, Medical College Chowk to Akhnoor Road are identified important roads
lying in commercial areas and witness high degree of traffic congestion mainly
because of parking spill-over are proposed as No Parking roads to improve mobility
in the core area.
The semi-automated multilevel car parking at super bazaar City Chowk is fully
operational and has capacity of about 352 cars. The multilevel car parking in Phase I
are proposed at DC office, B.C. Road Bus terminal, Prem Nagar opposite to Maharaja

Harisingh Park currently having surface parking operated by JDA. In phase II at Jabah
near to Bikram Chowk and Kacchi Chhawni are proposed for multilevel car parking.
Off-street parking (surface parking) in phase I are proposed at Medical College, B.C.
Road, Jammu Railway Station, Mubarak Mandi, Gole Market Chowk and Jammu
Airport. Identified locations for the development of Short term and long term
parking (Surface & Automated Multilevel Parking) as well as no parking streets in
Jammu are presented in Figure 4.12.
FIGURE 4.12: PROPOSED PARKING LOCATIONS

4.9.2. Traffic Control Measures
Traffic congestion is an increasing problem in Jammu and needs to be minimized by

using a variety of traffic management methods. The main reason for traffic
congestion in the city is absence of proper traffic control measures. There are few
junctions which are either manually operated non-signalized or signalized but not
being operated properly.
In order to augment the capacity of existing junctions, Major junctions which cater
heavy traffic and face congestion due to poor geometry and absence of traffic
control measures have been identified.
The junctions where major improvements are not possible due to constraints are
proposed for at grade geometric improvements with proper signalization (variable
cycle, coordinated/synchronized or vehicle actuated signals), pedestrian signal
phasing while others are proposed for improvement in junction geometry along with
grade separation as feasible. The corridor improvement has to be planned for the
junctions in series and located very close to enhance the overall capacity of the
corridor. The total 10 junctions have been identified for geometric improvement in
phase I and 2 critical junctions for grade separation in phase II. The improvements of
these junctions have been proposed based on the available data and site visits.
However, more detailed plans shall be worked out during the detailed study of these
locations and additional modifications could be suggested at that stage.
Also, it is recommended that all the junctions should be installed with security
cameras for incident detection and overall safety (Figure 4.13 and Table 4.5).

Signal timing plays an important role in managing the congestion at the junction.
SCOOT (Split Cycle Offset Optimization Technique), is a tool for managing and
controlling traffic signals in urban areas.
It is an adaptive system that responds automatically to fluctuations in traffic flow
through the use of on-street detectors embedded in the road. This system typically
reduces traffic delay by an average of 20% in urban areas. Apart from this, SCOOT
also contains other traffic management facilities such as:

Bus priority
Traffic gating
Incident detection
On-line saturation occupancy measurement
Vehicle emissions estimates
SCOOT based traffic management is recommended for all mobility corridors
including the arterial roads and the Ring Road.
4.9.3. Traffic Safety Plan
With the increase in number of vehicles on roads, City is also experiencing increase
in number of accidents. Though high road accidents may be resultant of poor road
geometrics and dilapidating infrastructure, a high share of road fatality indicates
need of public awareness and strict enforcement of traffic rules. Serious efforts are
needed to be made in road design and infrastructure along with traffic management
and law enforcement to improve the situation.
To control the accident and fatality rates in the City, black spots or accident prone
areas need to be addressed on urgent basis. Following measures have been
recommended to handle the accident prone areas
Installation of speed tracking devices with video cameras near black spots.
Setting up of stationary/mobile police posts near black spots.
Installation of traffic lights at accident prone intersections.
Centralized emergency setup to omit delay in case of an emergency.
Redesign of intersections to remove engineering flaws.
Apart from proposals for black spots, following measures are recommended to
improve safety and proposed to be implemented on priority:
Helmets to be made compulsory for both rider and pillion.

Front row seat belts to be made compulsory.
Cancellation of driving license at third incidence of fine.
Active surveillance by police mobile vans/bikes.
Strict enforcement of Pollution control measures.
Installation of pollution control kiosks at all fuel stations.
a. Public Awareness Programs
Public Awareness Program (PAP) is an integral component of the strategy for Traffic
Safety. Traffic safety should be inculcated at an early stage. To achieve this,
widespread Public Awareness Programs should be carried out in educational
institutes. These programs may be conducted by NGOs in close coordination of

Traffic Police. PAP put into operation effectively will go long way in enabling the
implementation of above proposed safety measures.
4.10. INFORM AND ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING CITIZENS

The proposed measures given in previous sections have been derived with extensive
Stakeholder consultations held during the course of the Study. The stake holder
consultations were carried out through meetings held with various stakeholders at
different stages of the study.
4.11. REGULATORY AND INSTITUTIONAL MEASURES

4.11.1. Regulatory Measures
Limited road capacity, increasing vehicle ownership and limited penetration of public
transport are the main reasons for the present chaotic traffic scenario in the City.
Following regulatory measures are required to bring in improvements in the present
scenario.
a. Transport Demand Management (TDM)
Transportation Demand Management or TDM refers to various strategies that

change travel behavior (how, when and where people travel) in order to increase
transport system efficiency and achieve specific objectives such as reduced traffic
congestion, increased safety, improved mobility for non-drivers, energy conservation
and pollution emission reductions. Table 4.6 gives the TDM Measures used
worldwide to manage the transport demand in the cities.
TABLE 4.6 TRANSPORT DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES

Economic Measures Road user charges
Parking charges
Public transport subsidization
Fuel Tax
Restraint on Vehicle Ownership
Land use Car free developments and location of new developments
Park and Ride Facilities
Public transport promotion
Intensive development along major PT routes
Information for Travelers Travel Information before a trip is undertaken
Car Sharing
Administrative Measures Parking Controls
Pedestrianised Zones


Alternative working patterns (Flexi time etc.)
Different weekly offs days for various market areas
i. Park and Ride and PT Promotion
Park & Ride facilities and promotion of public transport are the key components of
the strategy adopted to meet the demand in horizon years. Public transport
promotion needs to be carried out through policy interventions as well as awareness
programs. The mass transport system plan detailed in previous sections will promote
public transport and would help to increase its targeted modal share.
ii. Preferential parking and carpool promotion and coordination
Preferential parking and carpool promotion and coordination provide opportunities

for socializing, and reduce commute times through the usage of dedicated carpool
lanes. The designation of premium parking spaces for High Occupancy Vehicles
(HOV) modes is an inexpensive way to encourage employees to carpool or vanpool.
It is intended to make HOV spaces highly valued among employees over single
occupant vehicle spaces. The priority spaces are located close to the building
entrances to reduce the walk time for carpool and vanpool users. Reduced walk
times yield a relative reduction of travel times for HOV users. In addition to
demonstrating employer support for HOV commuting, preferential HOV parking may
also reduce the demand for employee parking spaces. Parking permit fees may also
be waived or reduced for HOVs as an added incentive.
Carpool promotion and coordination is successful when implemented by employers

because they can efficiently market the programs at the workplace and provide
matching functions based on employer records. As employees commute from areas
further away from employment centers to buy affordable housing, vanpools become
increasingly attractive as a means to reduce single-occupant trips.
iii. Alternative Measures
Alternative work-hour programs offered by individual employers such as the

compressed work week, flexi time, and telecommuting are TDM strategies that
directly reduce the number of trips taken by employees to travel to work.
A compressed work week allows employees to work longer days in exchange for an
additional day off that would normally be worked. For example, employees may
work eight nine-hour days and one eight-hour day, in a 10-day (2-week) pay period,
totaling 80 hours and permitting one day off each two weeks. In other cases,
employees may work four ten-hour days each week, with one day off each week.
This program not only reduces the amount of peak hour commute trips, but also is
often attractive to employees, increasing morale and job satisfaction.
Other strategies such as “flexi time” or staggered work hours can be used to reduce
peak hour trips and spread trips throughout non-peak times by allowing employees
to begin and end work at a time that is different from the typical 9 A.M. to 6 P.M.
work schedule. Flexi work time can be particularly attractive to employees with
commutes that are congested during peak times, but do not result in the elimination
of daily trips in the manner achieved by the compressed work week strategy.
All over the world, cities have adopted TDM measures to control congestion and
promote public transport. The lessons learnt from the experience suggest that TDM
should be sold as a part of an overall transport strategy. The public has to see the big
picture. TDM is only one part of a package of measures, which included others like
building roads, sophisticated traffic management, priority for bus movements, and
new rail system. All the parts of the package need to be done in parallel to get the
desired result.
b. Para Transit Improvement Plan
At present IPT modes are playing major role in the total transport scenario of
Jammu. Fragmented and disorganized operation is the major drawback of the
existing IPT operation. IPT should be made an integral component of the
transportation system in Jammu for more meaningful role and structured operation.
Thus, there is a necessity to effectively integrate operations of PT and IPT modes to
give ultimate benefit to the user and operator. This would require:
Identification of areas of operation for IPT operation based on demand and road
network constraints. Major demand corridors have been identified as PT
corridors to be operated by MRTS /Bus. IPT modes are proposed to operate on
secondary/ tertiary roads to serve as feeder to PT corridors.
Parking and terminal facilities for para-transit operation.
Removal of disparity in fare structure followed by PT and IPT modes.
Control on illegal operation of IPT modes.
Driver Training, registration of only licensed drivers for driving of IPT modes are
some other areas that need immediate attention of concerned authorities to
bring improvements in IPT operation.
4.11.2. Institutional Measures
Urban transport is made up of multiple components managed by many agencies with

overlapping responsibilities. There is no integrated planning or coordination between
various agencies or even integration of services. Transport professionals are seldom
employed. Each agency seeks its own budget and spends as per its own priorities.
Urban transport thus becomes the secondary responsibility of several agencies in the
City and at State and Central Government level.

a. Existing Institutional Arrangements
The Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) and Jammu Development Authority (JDA)
share the primary responsibility for urban transport planning, design and
management with the role and responsibility demarcated for each of the
organizations.
JDA’s primary function is to prepare macro level development plans and strategies
for 20-30-year perspective. The area includes Jammu Municipal Area, Jammu
Cantonment Board and surrounding Villages. JMC holds the responsibility of
providing basic services and infrastructure and preparing the Transport Planning
schemes.
Following is the list of primary institutions concerned with different facets of

transport and other infrastructure in Jammu:
Jammu Municipal Corporation(JMC)

Jammu & Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation (JKSRTC)
Traffic Police Department
b. Organization of PT & IPT Operation
Public transport system in Jammu is unorganized. Being individually dominated

unorganized operation; the role played by PT modes goes unrecognized and is
resulting in underutilization of resources. Organized bus system has been proposed
as a part of public transport improvement plan. It is proposed to form an organized
agency in charge of providing transport services in Jammu city. For that purpose, a
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) may be set up as a public-private partnership by way of
granting route permits to private bus operators to run their buses in the city. SPV
may be formed with the following objectives:
To create specialized and effective agency to monitor the intra-city public

transport system.
To establish and maintain modern capacity means of public transport.
To develop support system for improving transport infrastructure.
SPV will concentrate mainly on planning, implementing, setting service quality

standards and monitoring performance and out sources operations, revenue
collection, and so on to private companies in a transparent manner.
c. Enforcement Measures by Traffic Police
The traffic regulatory measures are looked after by the Superintendent of Police
supported by the Additional Superintendent of Police and Deputy Superintendent of
Police and assisted by the Circle Inspector, Sub-Inspectors and assistant Sub-
Inspector.
Strict enforcement by Police is required to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and
implementation of the proposals. Following measures are proposed for the same:
Traffic education and public awareness programs on regular basis to educate the
public on traffic rules and their benefits.
It is proposed that scheme of Traffic police on motorbikes to impose on the spot
fines on traffic offenders may be started to ensure traffic discipline in the city.
Heavy fines for habitual offenders
Scheme of mobile courts to check on encroachments on traffic infrastructure
and to punish the habitual traffic offenders may also be introduced.
To play the envisaged role in enforcement, the strengthening of Traffic Police is
recommended.
d. Need for Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (UMTA)
The above discussion suggests that there are many agencies involved in the urban
transport in Jammu. As such there is nothing wrong in multiplicity of authorities.
However currently there is no mechanism to ensure coordination among various
institutions which is one of the key road block affecting formulation and
implementation of major schemes and initiatives to improve the traffic situation and
mobility in the city.
The National Urban Transport Policy 2006 has recommended setting up of Unified
Metropolitan Transport Authorities (UMTA’s) in million plus cities. The policy
document stipulates following on UMTA
“The current structure of governance for the transport sector is not equipped to deal
with the problems of urban transport. These structures were put in place well before
the problems of urban transport began to surface in India and hence do not provide
for the right coordination mechanisms to deal with urban transport. The central
government will, therefore, recommend the setting up of Unified Metropolitan
Transport Authorities (UMTA’s) in all million cities to facilitate more coordinated
planning and implementation of urban transport programs & projects and integrated
management of urban transport systems. Such Metropolitan Transport Authorities
would need statutory backing in order to be meaningful.”
The metro rail policy - 2017 makes it mandatory for the cities which are planning to
have MRTS to address their mass transport requirements to have city level UMTA.
Major functions of UMTA as envisaged in the study are presented in Figure 4.14.
The study proposes that UMTA could be given a larger set of functions through
legislation, but be assigned these functions in stages, as the organization evolves and
builds capacity, and as higher level of acceptance is achieved about UMTA’s role
amongst key stakeholders. UMTA could thus first take up the range of functions that

today are the key gaps or overlaps and gradually it can look towards rationalizing
functions of existing agencies and taking over an appropriate group of functions. In
this light, UMTA may be assigned functions which lie between the aforesaid two
extremes arrangements, and less complex and feasible in operationalization. The
extent of functions involved under this arrangement are given below:
Assist and advise government on urban transport matters

Prepare, adapt and administer urban transport policies, strategies, standards
and guidelines for the urban area under its jurisdiction.
Prepare a multi-modal transport master plan integrated with land use
Prepare Alternatives Analysis Report to identify best alternative MRTS mode
on Phase I network.
Updation of Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP)
Prepare a detailed multi-year program for urban transport
Monitor and audit compliance with CMP and the Multi-year Programme
Approve urban transport projects and activities
Promote development of integrated facilities and systems for urban transport
Oversee operation of integrated facilities and systems for public transport
Contract public transport services so as to provide mobility and integrated
public transport
FIGURE 4.14 UMTA'S FUNCTIONS

urban transport
The proposed compositions of the governing board for UMTA are presented below.
Representatives Role
Representatives from Central Government
National Highways Authority of India Member
Indian Railways Member
Representatives from State Government

Members from Private Sector
Corporate Governance Expert Member
Finance Expert Member

Urban Transport Institutions’ Representative Member
Public Transport Beneficiaries’ Representative Member
Representative of Cyclists and Pedestrians Member
Employers’ Representative Member
There is an urgent need to create this authority for smooth handling of the issues
related to traffic and transport in the city.
The governing board of an UMTA for a particular metropolitan or urban area will be
assisted by a fully-fledged organisation headed by a full time Chief Executive. The

CEO will be responsible for all day-to-day activities of UMTA in accordance with the
policies approved by the board and the delegations given by the board.
A schematic organisation structure for a UMTA with the preferred range of functions
is illustrated in Figure 4.15.
Some aspects of UMTA activities, such as UTF management, accounting, IT, and
communications, can be out-sourced to service providers. Activities such as issuing
licenses could be delegated and contracted to agents. Consultants could be
employed for distinct activities such as preparation of the Transport Master Plan and
the Comprehensive Mobility Plan, development of standards and guidelines, review
of proposals and audit of implementation, preparation of contracts, preparation and
delivery of awareness campaigns, and research. These considerations will determine
the actual shape of the organisation below the divisional level shown.
FIGURE 4.15 ORGANISATION STRUCTURE FOR UMTA
e. Traffic Engineering Cells (TEC)
A large number of agencies deal with roads such as Jammu Municipal Corporation,
Jammu Development Authority, Traffic Police, PWD, NHAI, etc. There are numerous
issues of proper road geometrics, traffic circulation, junction design, traffic signals,
road signs/markings, street furniture etc. which are properly attended to by these
agencies due to lack of traffic engineering expertise. Traffic planning is a continuous
affair. It is therefore important that Traffic Engineering Cells are established within

JMC, JDA & Traffic Police with qualified and adequate staff such as traffic engineers.
This will ensure that the traffic schemes are properly implemented with better
results and fine-tuned later, if necessary. This will go a long way to improve traffic
flow in Jammu.
4.12. DEVELOPMENT OF FISCAL MEASURES

4.12.1. Fare Policy for Public Transport
a. Principles for Rational Public Transport Tariff Design
Public transport tariff design is the key for creating an enabling environment for
dynamic and sustainable growth of public transport sector. The fundamental
principle of tariff determination is to ensure that prices lead to an optimum level of
investment, operation, and demand in the sector.
Generally, there is a conflict between the different objectives of fare. For example, to
increase the share of public transport and to address issues of social sustainability
require that the fares be kept sufficiently low, while efficiency improvement and
viability issues require periodic fare increases with the increase in cost of input of the
service. The agencies in this sector need to balance these objectives to achieve a
sustainable outcome. Similarly, to ensure environmental and social sustainability, it
may be necessary to subsidize public transport operations.
b. Effect on Demand of Bus Services
An increase in public transport fares could lead to modal shift to private modes.
Thus, public transport fares would have to be benchmarked on the cost of
alternative modes of transport to ensure that a modal shift is checked. For
addressing issues of social sustainability, it is imperative that the fares be kept
sufficiently low. However, tariffs should provide incentives for efficiency
improvements so as to reduce the cost of operation.
c. Subsidy Administration
Whenever the government desires that a particular class of consumers be provided

public transport services at subsidized fares, it is recommended that the government
to that effect make the allocation explicitly.
d. Fare Revisions
Fare Revision mechanism should be reasonable, transparent, and accepted to both,

the passenger and the operator. Generally, the fare revision process is not
transparent or scientific. Today the fare revisions are usually a compromise between
competing pressures from operators for an enhancement in the fares and pressures
from commuters for not affecting any increase. Invariably, there is a time lag

between such an increase in the input costs and the increase in fares leading to
delays in fleet augmentation and replacement and thus poor quality of service.
However, for improvements in the service quality fare revisions should be
rationalized and made systematic
e. Fare Integration
Fare integration is essential for seamless travel for passengers using more than one
mode to reach their destination. It can be achieved through common ticket for
different Public and Para transit modes.
4.12.2. Parking Pricing Strategy
The land in urban areas is limited and there is a limit to the parking space that can be
created in the City. The parking demand is growing with growth of vehicles in
Jammu. The institutional, public semi public and busy/commercial areas are major
attractors to the long term parking. This results in the vehicle parking spilling to
streets (main roads or side streets). One of the important tool to control the parking
is Parking Pricing. This may include following measures:
Levy incremental parking fee on on-street parking

Off street parking charges to be less than the on-street parking charges
Differential parking fee in the core areas and outside the core area
Phasing out of on-street parking from major roads and development of off street
parking
Stringent enforcement measures by way of fine and other penal actions need to be
provided for violation of parking rules
a. Parking Pricing for Core Area
It is proposed to levy incremental parking charges upon on-street parking in the

areas identified for the City. Along with this, off street parking complexes need to be
developed to accommodate private vehicles as well as to provide defined space for
goods IPT vehicles facilitating goods transaction without hurdling the traffic. It is
proposed that about 20% ECS shall be left reserved for goods IPT vehicles in each off
street parking complex. For an efficient utilization of available space, long term
parking shall be discouraged by levying incremental fares.
b. Other measures:
As parking is un-satiated demand, it is proposed that regulatory tools need to be
adopted to cater parking demand generated by a building inside its own premise.
This will cater to the parking demand likely to be generated by upcoming
developments in the City. Broad measures to ensure availability of parking inside a
building premise include:

Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) of new developments

Provision of ground level and basement parking for estimated parking
demand in TIA
Incremental fee at surface / lower ground level to ensure short term parking
4.13. MOBILITY IMPROVEMENT MEASURES PROPOSED IN CMP AND

NUTP OBJECTIVES
The objective of National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) of GoI is to plan for the
people rather than vehicles by providing sustainable mobility and accessibility to all
citizens to jobs, education, social services and recreation at affordable cost and
within reasonable time. This will involve:
Incorporating urban transportation as an important parameter at the urban

4.14. IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED MEASURES ON SERVICE LEVEL

BENCHMARK
Performance levels of Jammu City were monitored against service level benchmarks
(SLBs) in Chapter 2 wherein four LOS viz. 1, 2, 3, and 4 were specified, with 1 being
highest LOS and 4 being lowest. Though the goal was to attain the LOS 1, Jammu
fared poorly for all SLBs. SLBs identified for monitoring performance were:
Public transport facilities

Pedestrian infrastructure facilities

Non Motorized Transport (NMT)facilities
Level of usage of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) facilities
Travel speed (Motorized and Mass Transit) along major corridors
Availability of parking spaces
Road safety
Pollution levels
Integrated land use transport system
Financial sustainability of public transport
Now, with proposals drafted for preferred sustainable transport scenario, the
benchmarking against all the SLBs are again taken up to assess the benefits to be
accrued in future by adopting the proposals in this report.
4.14.1. LOS of Public Transport Facilities
The city-wide LOS is being calculated for public transport systems during peak hours
including rail and organized bus based systems. The criteria as listed under SLBs are
as follows:
Presence of Organized Public Transport System in Urban Area (%)

Extent of Supply Availability of Public Transport
Service Coverage of Public Transport in the city
Average waiting time for Public
Transport users (mins)
Level of Comfort in Public Transport
% of Fleet as per Urban Bus Specification
With two MRTS priority corridors of 46 km length, 13 bus routes of total 192 km
length, it is expected that Jammu will have a wide spread, accessible, comfortable
and good transport system, placing it in the highest bracket of LOS 1.
4.14.2. LOS of Pedestrian Infrastructure Facilities
The SLB parameters for pedestrian infrastructure facilities include the following:
Signalized intersection delay (%)

Street Lighting (Lux)
% of City Covered
These parameters cover the percentage of road length along the arterial and major
road network or Public Transport corridors and at intersection that has adequate

barrier free pedestrian facilities. With 100 km of road network identified for
provision of NMV / pedestrian infrastructure, 10 major junctions identified for
signalization with provision of pedestrian phasing and 2 junctions for grade
separation and provision of parking at identified locations to remove encroachments
from footpath, Jammu is expected to achieve LOS 1.
4.14.3. LOS of Non-Motorized Transport Facilities
The SLB parameters for NMT facilities include:
% of network covered
Encroachment on NMT roads by Vehicle Parking (%)
NMT Parking facilities at Interchanges (%)
These parameters indicate the percentage of dedicated cycle track/ lane along the
arterial & sub arterial road network or public transport corridors with a minimum of
2-3 m width as per land availability. The service level is characterized by continuous
length of NMT lanes, encroachment on NMT lanes, and parking facilities. With 190
km of road network identified for provision of NMV / pedestrian infrastructure,
Jammu is expected to achieve LOS 1.
4.14.4. LOS of Level of Usage of Intelligent Transport System (ITS)
ITS refers to efforts to add information and communications technology to transport

infrastructure and vehicles to manage factors that typically are at odds with each
other, such as vehicles, loads, and routes to improve safety and reduce vehicle wear,
transportation times and fuel consumption. GPS/GPRS systems are required so as to
cover all the public transport and intermediate public transport vehicles on the
"National public transport helpline" besides the use for operational efficiencies. The
parameters identified to assess the level of service for level of usage of ITS are:
Availability of Traffic Surveillance (%)

Passenger Information System (PIS) (in %)
Global Positioning System (GPS)/ General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) (%)
Signal Synchronization (%)
Integrated Ticketing System (%)
Public transport services have been recommended for installation of GPS, security
cameras and panic buttons along with linking with traffic control center for incident
detection and response. Also, all major junctions in the city are recommended to be
installed with security cameras. Fare integration have also been recommended
between different modes.

4.14.5. LOS for Travel Speeds along Major corridors
This level of service provides an indication of effective travel time or speed of Public
/ private vehicles by taking into account indications of congestion or traffic density.
This level of service is along corridors, and not indicative of overall level of service
from origin to destination. The parameters identified to assess the level of service
include:
Average Travel speed of Personal vehicles (KMPH)

Average Travel speed of Public Transport (KMPH)
With an extensive network of outer ring road, inner ring road and arterials identified
for the city, along with footpath and NMV network to avoid vehicular – pedestrian
conflict, it is expected that Jammu will be placed in the LOS 1 for Travel Speeds.
4.14.6. LOS of Availability of Parking Spaces
All parking locations (on and off street) have been proposed to be available on
chargeable basis. Also, parking fare matrix have been recommended for the city with
varying parking charges. This will place Jammu in the LOS of 1.
4.14.7. LOS of Road Safety
Recommendations for road design (cross sections) to avoid conflict between

different modes, strict enforcement to avoid traffic rules violations and extensive
incident monitoring and response system are expected to reduce the fatalities to
minimum. However, as responsibility for road safety also rests in the hands of users,
conduct of public awareness campaigns have also been recommended in the CMP. It
is expected that Jammu will achieve zero tolerance against road fatalities.
4.14.8. LOS of Pollution Levels
This indicates the Level of air Pollutants in the city i.e. average level of pollution in
urban areas. The indicator to calculate the pollution levels is Annual Mean
Concentration Range (µg/m3). Parameters to assess the LOS for this SLB are:
Level of SO2
Level of Oxides of Nitrogen
Level of RSPM (Size less than 10 microns)
CO2 emissions are expected to decrease under this scenario, bringing Jammu in the
LOS 1 category.

4.14.9. LOS of Integrated Land Use Transport System
It Indicates the effectiveness of land use-transport arrangements and Identify the

level of integrated land use transport system expected to result in overall trip
reduction and mode shift in favor of public transit.
As indicated in the public transport proposals, the MRTS corridors have been
identified on the basis of major trip generation which is a function of land use. As
such, the city fares at LOS 1 for this SLB.
4.14.10. LOS of Financial Sustainability of Public Transport
The financial sustainability of the public transport system is a very important

parameter for continual services. To ensure the financial sustainability, high travel
demand corridors have been selected for public transport including MRTS and bus
system. All the secondary corridors are left for demand oriented feeder services i.e.
IPT. It is expected that Jammu will be placed at LOS 1 in this SLB.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Final CMP Chapter 5: Implementation Plan
5. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
5.1. PREPARATION OF IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
5.1.1. Unit Rates Adopted
The CMP recommends proposals for Public Transport System, New Bus Terminals,
Pedestrian Facilities, Road Infrastructure, Intersection Improvement, NMT etc for the
Study Area to cater to travel demand up to the year 2044. Broad cost estimates have
been worked out to assess the requirement of funds. Unit rates of different
components have been adopted from previous Reports for other Cities. (Table 5-1).

during DPR stage of each project.
Based on above unit rates, cost estimates of proposal schemes have been worked
out at 2019 prices and are given in Tables 5-2 respectively. As the proposals would
be implemented in phases, the requirement of funds is also given in phase wise. The
requirement of funds has been suggested in three phases (2019-24, 2025-34 and
2035-44) in accordance with the implementation plan of proposals.
RITES Ltd. Page 5-1
5.2. PRIORITIZATION OF SUB-PROJECTS
5.2.1. Public Transport Projects
The Public Transport projects have been identified and detailed in Chapter 4. The
proposals include MRTS and city bus network planning. Apart from these, supporting
infrastructure such as bus stops, passenger and freight terminals, depots are also
proposed which need to be developed in synchronization with the public transport
network. Table 5-2 gives the phasing and broad cost estimates of sub projects under
public transport.
5.2.2. Road Infrastructure Improvement Projects
Road infrastructure improvement includes improvement & augmentation of NMT

infrastructure, development of new road links, River Bridge, road widening and
improvement. Junctions have also been identified for grade separated, signalization
and geometric improvements. Table 5-2 gives the phasing & broad cost estimates of
sub projects under road infrastructure improvement.
5.2.3. Terminals
Passenger and freight terminals have been proposed in the city at different locations
on the basis of strategic availability of vacant land. Table 5-2 gives the phasing &
broad cost estimates of sub projects under terminals.
5.2.4. Parking
CMP proposes removal of on street parking and provision of off street/ multilevel
parking at 10 locations in the entire City, out of which 5 locations for multi level
parking and remaining 5 for the off-street surface parking have been identified.
Table 5-2 gives the phasing and broad cost estimates for Parking.
5.3. FUNDING OF PROJECTS & MONITORING OF CMP
To meet the transport needs of the future, investment requirements will increase to
levels three to four times higher in real terms from the present levels. The financing
of this level will be a massive task.
While the government will continue to be a major source of funds for infrastructure,
internal generation of resources by the sector itself will have to increase. Pricing of
transport services and reduction in the costs will have to play a much bigger role
than in the past.

A larger role of the private sector is also visualized. In a maze of subsidies and social
service obligations public sector transport has lost the importance of commercial
operations. Urban transport Policy of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs
clearly indicates the areas and levels of possible government support in ‘planning to
implementation of urban transport components’. There are certain areas of urban
transport components that different stakeholders can participate so that the
required funding and responsibilities can be shared with suitable coordination and
regulation mechanism. Considering the funding pattern, legal aspects,
implementation capacity, return potential, risks associated etc., urban transport
components can be grouped for implementation. Projects in the study area can be
implemented by:
i. Local bodies
ii. Local bodies with the fund support of State and Central governments
iii. Local bodies with the fund/technical support of multilateral funding agencies
iv. State or Central governments
v. Local bodies with the support of private participation
vi. Private participation
5.3.1. Implementation Mechanism
The possible areas of the urban transport projects for various implementation
agencies are presented in Table 5-3. Low capital intensive with moderate technical
requirements and high social responsibility projects can be taken up by ULBs. High
capital intensive and more technical required projects like MRTS and structural
projects shall be through the co-operation of State and Central governments on SPV
format with loan from multilateral funding agencies. Projects with overlapping
responsibilities but with high return potentials with less risk and less gestation period
shall be through private sector by BOT/Annuity formats. Private sector participation
will be in the areas of high profitability with less/medium risks. Hence it is necessary
to identify the appropriate areas for different types of private sector participation for
implementing urban transport components. Private sector involvement in urban
transport component can be in following forms:
Projects with social responsibility on sponsorship pattern (eg: improvement and

maintenance of junctions).
Annuity format of BOT projects which have less return potentials and high capital
intensive (eg: Development and maintenance of City Roads in Trivandrum City).
Commercial projects BOT projects (eg: Coimbatore Bypass in Tamil Nadu, Bridge
connecting Wellington Island and Mattancherry in Kochi in Kerala).
PPP for urban bus services (eg. AICTSL for Indore city bus operation)

5.3.2. Indirect sources for funding Urban Transport infrastructure
A number of reports by various organizations (CRISIL, Price Waterhouse Coopers, the

World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and others) have drawn attention to the
indirect values created by transportation projects, suggesting that these could be
tapped for potential funding of the projects themselves. Among the indirect benefits
identified in these reports, the two most important are:
Transit Oriented development and Land value capture: Investments in urban transport
lead to higher property values in developed areas (and to higher municipal rates linked
to those properties), to greater orientation of development along transit directions, to
better anchors for land use planning, etc. Not only do private property owners gain
indirectly from higher values of their holdings around new infrastructure, sometimes
their rights to develop their properties are also gifted freely by cities and transit systems
hoping to boost ridership.
According to various studies, the value is estimated at between 5% - 10% for residential
properties, and between 10% - 30% for commercial properties. To generate funding
from the value created in the proximity zones, a ‘Betterment Levy’ or ‘Land Value Tax’
can be imposed. This tax is aimed at landowners as it focuses on land value rather than
property value. The tax is designed to capture the value created by the provision of
public services surrounding the areas in which the services have been provisioned.
Revenue Estimation investigates and assesses the potential revenue generation that
may be derived from the transit oriented development planning initiatives along the
MRTS corridor through various value capture techniques. Revenue from TOD planning
initiatives may be generated through various ways like sale of additional FSI, revenue
from stamp duty, property tax, sale of premium towards ancillaries, development
charges etc.
Property development for MRTS is the key factor in determining success of a MRT
system. Evidence continues to mount that transit can generate tremendous value by
concentrating development and activity around stations, and that this value can be
captured and used to fund station area improvements and community benefits. Process
of property development requires land, labour, capital, entrepreneurship and
management as major inputs.
Development rights granted by cities to the areas near the transportation project, either
at very low cost to owners or in some cases free. These benefits could instead be held in
escrow by the transport project itself, and made available to property owners on a paid
RITES Ltd. Page 5-6

basis, with the money earned through such transactions available to under-write a
portion of the project costs.
Fuel Cess: Another source of income is from private vehicles through taxes levied on
their consumption of fuel. Typically, cities can add taxes or cess applicable within their
jurisdiction, collecting money for use in making improvements to public transport
schemes. Given the rising use of private vehicles, and the large amounts of money that
can be collected by even a small (e.g. 2 paise per liter) cess on fuel purchases, this could
be an important source of money for cities.
Urban Transport Tax: Urban Transport Tax or Cess may be levied on the purchase of
new cars and two wheelers.
Carbon Credits: Another source of funds that has emerged in recent years is carbon
credits, typically traded between industrialized countries that operate at high levels of
per-capita pollution, and less industrialized economies where the per-capita climate
impacts are much smaller. In the short run, these credits allow richer economies to
phase out their shift from carbon-intensive production, and also allow poorer countries
to source funds for their project needs. Credits are also available for countries’
willingness to choose less carbon-intensive choices for their own industries, and some
Indian entities (e.g. bus operators in some states) are examining ways of seeking such
credits for the use of biodiesel in their vehicles. However, the overall trading scenario
around such credits is full of uncertainty, and is likely to be determined by global climate
talks. Wherever they are available, however, they can be tapped to augment other
sources of funds.
Urban Transport Fund (UTF): As recommended in the NUTP, states and cities are being
encouraged to set up UTFs in order to receive dedicated revenues to be used exclusively
for meeting the needs of urban transport. The NUTP mentions some of the potential
revenue sources for such UTFs, which include a supplement to the petrol and diesel
taxes, a betterment levy on land owners, and tax on employers etc.
Four options for geographical coverage of an UTF have been identified: UTF at the state
level for the whole state; UTF for a particular municipal / urban area; UTF at the state
level for urban areas that do not have their own UTF or UTF for UMTA jurisdiction. There
are multiple advantages of having UTF at municipal / urban area level. One is that the
funds are specifically available for meeting the urban transport needs of a single city.
Another is that the amount of funding is better known at the local level than at the state
level and therefore a UTF at a municipal / urban area will allow for better planning. Third
is that the use of the funds can better be prioritised according to the local needs. Since it
RITES Ltd. Page 5-7

is envisaged that UMTA should be established at municipal levels, the preferred option
is to have UTF with jurisdiction similar to UMTA jurisdiction.
Different sources of funds have been identified by different states while setting up UTFs.
In most of the UTFs, a major source of funding is from the Government. This has taken
different forms such as budgetary allocations, government grants, grants through
schemes etc. Several other sources of funds have been identified to supplement funding
from government resources. Some of these sources of funds are common across various
UTFs while others are less common. For example, cess on vehicle registration is used as
a common source of funding in many of the UTFs. Similarly betterment levy (which is
also a suggested source of fund in the NUTP) is one of the common sources in some of
the UTFs. An example of a less common source of funding is a premium charged on
Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) which is used by Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal
Corporation. In some of the UTFs, there are provisions of receiving funds from
international funding agencies such as World Bank, ADB etc.
Sources of funds are summarised below.
5.4. ACTION PLAN AND BUDGET PLAN
The implementation of all the proposals made under Transport System Plan requires
number of activities to be under taken by Govt. of J&K and other concerned
organizations. It is important that a multi-pronged effort is initiated on all fronts to
enable speedy, concerted and coordinated action. The following agenda for action is
suggested:
