The objective of the urban transport
strategy note (UTSN) is to provide an assessment of the
urban transport system in Greater Cairo (GC), identify what
now appear to be the most pressing urban transport problems,
and framework for urgent policy actions and investment
priorities that would be the basis of a formal transport
strategy to be adopted and implemented by the authorities of
the metropolitan area of Cairo. This note is essentially
based on a thorough review of the 2002 Urban Transportation
Master Plan for GC and a rapid analysis of the current
conditions and performance of the urban transport system.
This note includes nine chapters. The first chapter provides
a quick overview of the current situation of the UT in GC.
In chapter two, present the main guiding principles and key
components of the proposed strategy to prepare the ground
for the following chapters. Chapter three to nine elaborate
on the issues and policy recommendations for each of the
components of the strategy: organization and operation of
public transport systems (chapter three), investment policy
in urban transport (chapter four), traffic management policy
(chapter five), introducing travel demand management
(chapter six), strengthening traffic enforcement (chapter
seven), building urban transport institutions (chapter
eight), affordability of urban transport services and
financing policy (chapter nine). Finally a last chapter
(ten) presents a priority action program including selected
coherent mix of policy actions and cost effective
investments to be implemented in the short and medium terms
to initiate a process of long term improvements of the UT
conditions and operations in Cairo metropolitan.
