INTEGRATED APPROACH
• Planning the management of the
transport system and land use to
best address the Access needs for
people, goods and services
• Integration- means considering
planning choices as total package
rather than considering them in
isolation.
VISION
1) National Vision (NDP) 2035: A
transformed Ugandan Society
from a peasant to a modern
prosperous country within 30
years”
2) KCCA Vision: A Vibrant,
Attractive and Sustainable City.

TRAVEL BEHAVIOR
 Low mobility – average of 2.3 trip per
person/day, but poor people do less
trips/day
 Most trips are by walking –but poor people
do more than 50% of their trips by walking
 Poor people are forced to walk because
they can’t afford to use public transport or
cars. They need to spend 22% of their
available income on transport as oppose to
10% recommended by the WB
 Poor people have low mobility and low
accessibility to opportunities & activities

Bodaboads Account for 42.4% of
vehicles on the road, but carry 8.5%

PT COSTS
 PT operation is not subsidized in Uganda, so taxi owner should
cover O&M costs and make revenue from cash-box revenue
 On the average, number of daily paying pax/day-taxi of 14 seats
is ~100
 In BRT systems, number of passengers per bus-day is 1,0003,000, so single ticket fare can be reduced
 The introduction of multi-trips ticket (monthly, daily) will reduce
even more the cost for heavy users

TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMVISION
An Integrated, Sustainable
and Safe Transport System
providing Accessibility to
basic services to all
residents in an Affordable
manner.
OBJECTIVES - 1
• At least 80% of the trips in KCCA region will be done
with sustainable modes (walking, cycling, modern bus
or rail system)
• At least 50% of all trips in KCCA region should be nonmotorized (walking, cycling)
• At least 80% of all walking trips should be done on
paved walkways that are physically separated from the
motorized traffic
• There should be at least 200 km of cycling lanes in
KCCA, networked, separated and protected from the
general traffic
• Number of fatalities in road accidents should be
reduced by at least 50% compared with 2011 results
OBJECTIVES - 2
• MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) system should be affordable
and cost no more than 12% of the available household
monthly income of low income people
• At least 60% of KCCA residents in 2020 should be able
to walk to the nearest mass rapid transport stop (i.e.
BRT) less than 1 km and 90% should be able to walk
less than 3 km
• At least 80% of all employment and local service
opportunities in KCCA region should be located no
more than 2 km from a mass rapid stop
• Each person in KCCA should be able to access basic
service (elementary and secondary school, health
service and basic shopping)by walking no more than 2
km
OBJECTIVES - 3
• At least 50% of all motorized trips in KCCA region
should be made on arterial roads that provide good
mobility. These roads should have no parking along
the road
• Each new major land use development within KCCA
should be evaluated using TIA - traffic impact
assessment procedure, and if traffic situation is
deteriorating, mitigation measures should be identified
and financed by the developers
• Level of air pollution and GHG emission caused by
road transport will be reduced by 50% from its current
level
• Decisions regarding investments in transport
infrastructure should be made based upon cost-benefit
analysis, where benefits derived from up-to-date TDM

KAMPALA
Introduce traffic management: signals, channelization, parking
Develop NMT infrastructure
Build professional capacity
Introduce MATA
Establish TIA and CBA procedures
Integrate land use and transport planning
• Develop initial integrated PT system with MRT
(BRT) system as backbone
• Construct the urban freeway and introduce grade
separation
• Complete the MRT system with possible LRT
/suburban rail options
• Construct the ring road and other arterial roads
SHORT TERM ACTIVITIES - WALKWAYS
• Identify all current major walking routes (i.e. routes with
more than 1,000 pedestrian per hour per direction). Review
the available walking infrastructure and prepare detailed
design for the provision of adequate walkway
infrastructure.
• For each proposed BRT station, identify relevant walkways
routes in a radius on 2 km from the station, and design
and construct the walkways
• For each local center, identify walkways in a radius of 2
km, design and construct the walkways
• Adopt new geometric design standards for urban roads
that include necessary width for separated and paved
walkways along the street.
• In any new or reconstructed urban road include proper
walkway in the cross section.
SHORT TERM ACTIVITIES - CYCLING
• Identify main potential cycling routes that will connect major
residential locations to main and local activity centers. Prepare a
master plan for cycling routes for KCCA for 2022 that will include
at least 200 km
• Adopt best international geometric design standards
• in every new road introduce cycling lanes as a standard part of
the overall cross section
• Develop a comprehensive communication strategy and
comprehensive cycling outreach program, to include all major
employers in KCCA. Identify potential infrastructure needs (i.e.
bicycle parking facilities and bicycle lanes leading to these
locations) and prepare a plan to provide these facilities.
• Select carefully a pilot project, construct the necessary lanes and
parking facilities, and launch communication campaign to
increase awareness and usage.
• Conduct “before-after” surveys and draw conclusions from the
pilot project
SHORT TERM ACTIVITIES – TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
• Relocation of the main taxi stage (Old park and new
park) away from the centre and relocating of the
smaller taxi stages off the main roads
• Introducing new on-street parking regulations
especially along the main roads.
• Evacuating all commercial activities that encroach the
roads' ROW
• Redesign of traffic circles that reached capacity in city
centre and replacing them with traffic signals
• Introduce warrants fo signalization and introduce
traffic control centre and many new signals
• Maintain proper marking and signing
• Restructuring taxi routes to reduce number of taxis
along main roads
SHORT TERM ACTIVITIES – INSTITUTIONAL MEASURES
• Establish MATA that will include planning and modeling
dept. as well as strong PT regulation and operation
• Introduce TIA procedure using the updated TDM
• Adopt CBA procedure to rvaluate and prioritize
investments
• Integrate land use and transport
MID TERM ACTIVITIES – INTEGRATED PT
• Approve PT master plan and secure the necessary
ROW. Master plan should explore bus and rail modes
• Introduce integrated ticketing with new fare structure
• Restructure taxi network to feed and support MRT
• Develop professional capacity especially for regulating
PT
PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM
• Mass Transit –BRT system as the
core of public transport service.
Urban Light Rail service on
corridors where it is viable
• Urban bus transport network
• . Feeder service- Role of Minibus
• Walking and Cycling

MID TERM ACTIVITIES – URBAN FREEWAY
• We propose to use the current rail corridor to construct urban
freeway, combined with option for double track rail operation. This
is essential for both transport and urban purposes
