Transcription

1 Application of SUTI in Colombo (Western Region) Dr Dimantha De Silva Senior Lecturer, University of Moratuwa Capacity Building Workshop on Sustainable Urban Transport Index (SUTI) 30 th & 31 st October 2017, Sri Lanka

2 Study Area Western Region 5.8 Mill. Population (2012) out of 21.6 Mill. In Sri Lanka (26.8%) 3,684 sq.km of 65,610 sq.km in Sri Lanka (6%) 42% of the Countries GDP 60% of Service Sector 30% for Industry Sector 3 Administrative Districts 40 Divisional Secretariat Divisions 2,505 Grama Nildari Divisions (GND)

3 Indicators 1. Extent to which Transport Plans cover Public transport, Intermodal Facilities and Infrastructure for active modes 2. Modal share of active and public transport in commuting 3. Convenient to access to public transport in commuting 4. Public transport quality and reliability 5. Traffic Fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants 6. Affordability travel cost as share of income 7. Operational costs of the public transport systems 8. Investment in Public transportation systems 9. Air Quality (pm10) 10. Greenhouse gas emissions from transport

4 1. Extent to which Transport Plans cover Public Transport, Intermodal Facilities and Infrastructure for active modes Western Region Megapolis Transport Masterplan Plans Under 296 kms of Railway Electrification & Walking Networks - Modernization Cycling networks 75km of LRT Network Intermodal Transfers 3 Inland water transport Routes Expansion of Public Transport Modes Bus Modernization Plans Max. Score 16 1 Multimodal Hub, 11 Multimodal Centres Achieved Score 11 Need of Walking and Cycling Network identified.

5 2. Modal share of active and Public Transport in commuting Percentage of commuting trips using active and public travel modes Active Transport Walking and Cycling ComTrans Household Activity Survey, 2013 Commuting Trips Home Based Work/Home Based School 40.4%

6 2. Modal share of active and Public Transport in commuting

7 3. Convenient to access to public transport in commuting Proportion of population within 500m access to PT Public Bus service in Western region 1235 Bus Stops

8 3. Convenient to access to public transport in commuting Train 531 km of rail Network in WR 101 Stations

9 3. Convenient to access to public transport in commuting Bus Stations/ Rail Stations Geo coded on to a Population Data by GND Spatial Data Analyzed using QGIS

10 3. Convenient to access to public transport in commuting 44% of Population within 500m Radius

11 4. Public transport quality and reliability The Degree to which Passengers of PT System are satisfied ComTrans HAS survey Question TRAIN BUS

12 4. Public transport quality and reliability Score Achieved 6.88% Less than the Expected Minimum of 30% Used minimum value

13 5. Traffic Fatalities per 100,000 inhabitants Railway data for All island Weighted by total kms within WR/All island 531 km/1508km Score 14.93

14 6. Affordability travel cost as share of income Data only available for Island wide

15 7. Operational costs of the public transport systems Data not available for WR Ratio of fare Revenue to Operating costs Annual Performance Reports of Railway and SLTB Private Buses by National Transport Statistics by NTC

16 8. Investment in Public transportation systems Share of all Transport Investments Annual Reports and National Budget Performance Reports Data Available on island Wide Analysis Period

17 9. Air Quality (pm10) Annual mean levels of fine particulate matter (PM10) Taken different times of the year in 2017

18 10. Greenhouse gas emissions from transport CO2 equivalent emission from transport Fuel Sales from 3 Districts

19 Summary NORMALIZATION
