NMT accessibility should be the foundation of urban transport planning Over a third of road traffic deaths in lowand middle income countries are among pedestrians and cyclists.

20 NMT accessibility should be the foundation of urban transport planning Over a third of road traffic deaths in lowand middle income countries are among pedestrians and cyclists. Less than 35% of low and middle income countries have policies in place to protect these road users. Highlights the important role that road infrastructure can play in reducing injuries among all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. Addressing the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists is critical to successfully reducing the total number of global road traffic deaths.

Increase funding allocation for NMT Bangalore Comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Plan The total Traffic and transportation budget for next 16 years is nearly $12 billion with 79% of the total

21 Increase funding allocation for NMT Bangalore Comprehensive Traffic and Transportation Plan The total Traffic and transportation budget for next 16 years is nearly $12 billion with 79% of the total investment allocated to mass transportation. By contrast, the total investment planned for pedestrians over the next 16 years is a scant $72 million, or just 0.6% of total investment. The government plans to improve around 350 km of one-way footpaths and construct 68 grade separated crossings with the money. Dhaka Strategic Transport Plan follows PEDESTRIAN FIRST philosophy and its plan for next 20 years but it only allocates 0.24% of the budget to pedestrian facilities.
