A Review on Indias Urban Transportation

Abstract

Abstract: Traffic congestion, pollution, and road accidents are all challenges that have arisen as a result of India's growing population and vehicle ownership. The transportation industry is an important part of the nation's economy, but also contributes significantly to climate change. Many transportation plans ultimately lead to fixing the climate change problem in order to attain sustainable mobility since climate change is a global hazard. India, like other nations across the world, is investing greater effort into sustainable mobility through different governmental measures.This article examines the major transportation issues that India faces, as well as how the Indian government's transport industry policy initiatives for cities have developed since independence. Motorisation is inextricably linked to urbanisation. Both motorisation and urbanisation complement each other. The influence of NMT on urban transportation is likewise directly related to its growing pace. The difficulties and inadequacies in existing policies are explored, as well as potential policy frameworks. According to this survey, most government policy efforts have yet to achieve the desired degree of success. The absence of monitoring, complicated institutional capacity and urban governance, uneven land allocation, and ineffective overall growth and movement plans are all contributing factors.Due to the continuing COVID-19 situation, the urban transportation scene is expected to shift dramatically. Travellers' mobility preferences are likely to be affected by increasing risks that come with congested settings paired with social distancing techniques in public and shared transportation. With the increased usage of e-services, urban freight demands may also shift.
