‘mainstream’ LGED units, under the responsibility there of the relevant senior LGED line manager(s). There will be close monitoring of expected outputs and results by the LGED and the Bank, including with regard to sustainability of capacity / performance improvements in LGED operations beyond the Project-funded support. 12. The overall assistance via this Sub-component will comprise (i) specialist technical assistance (TA) and consultancy services (approximately US$4.75 million); (ii) goods, materials and/or software licenses/IP (approximately US$2.95 million); and (iii) funding of equipment research and training/seminar/workshop fees and delivery costs (approximately US$1.20 million). C. Rural Transport Safety Component (US$3.5 million): 13. Under RTIP-I, a Rural Transport Safety (RTS) ‘pilot’ was implemented in three districts of Bangladesh. The pilot’s success has provided a basis for scaling up these interventions in the 26 RTIP-II project districts. In parallel, LGED requires significant capacity building in road safety engineering, monitoring and management to play a more effective ‘sector leadership’ role in the improvement of rural road safety in Bangladesh. This Component will therefore support a combination of interventions and initiatives in the following fields. Technical assistance support for integrating road safety engineering measures and awareness building and education along project roads. 14. It is important to ensure safety of roads that will be improved and maintained under the Accessibility Improvement Component of the Project. The component will include road safety audits of the designs of the project roads under the guidance and training of the road safety advisor. As a result it is expected that a set of road safety measures appropriate for these types of rural roads will be identified and properly incorporated in the designs, standard layouts and technical specifications will be prepared as guidance to the design teams, with specific attention to the safety of vulnerable roads users and implementing safety measures at at-grade rail crossings, to be funded under this Project, and a comprehensive training program and subsequent on-the-job training in Road Safety Audit will be conducted for a selected group of LGED engineers and staff of the Road Safety Unit of the LGED. Significant importance should be placed for improving safety during civil works. Costs associated with integration of road safety engineering measures such as signs, markings, street lights, pedestrian facilities, etc. will be included as part of civil works under the first component of the project. 15. Project support under this Component will also facilitate scaling-up the awareness and education activities piloted under RTIP-I and mainstreaming in 26 project districts. Training will be provided to participating Local Government Institutions (LGIs), community leaders and members of the Road Safety Committees at Upazila and District levels. As the Upazila (LGED) engineers are required to do ‘public awareness’ activities as part of their functions, a Train-the- Trainer program on rural road safety awareness building and road safety education will be developed for LGED field staff (to be offered by the LGED central and regional Training Units), and public awareness campaigns will be prepared and launched. Stakeholder consultation on rural transport safety priorities and challenges will be conducted as part of these road safety 28
activities. Another Train-the-Trainer program will be delivered to school teachers in project districts, to enable them to include road safety in the curriculum of primary and secondary school students. Training needs of the local police will be identified and a training program will be initiated to improve rural road policing, local enforcement and data collection. The project will also support training-oriented workshops for local associations of drivers and rickshaws to create awareness about road rules and regulations. In those workshops, project-procured reflectors (etc.) for rickshaws and other non-motorized traffic will be distributed to improve night-time visibility. Technical assistance for strengthening road safety capacity of the LGED. 16. The project will provide technical assistance to the newly established dedicated Road Safety Unit in LGED that will include expert advisory services and training. Technical assistance will also include: • Development of road safety related guidelines and manuals and related policies, including but not limiting to – on “Road Safety Audit”, “Blackspots Identification and Treatment”, and “Safety during Road Works”. • Review / revision / updating of LGED design standards and codes on road safety factors to address identified gaps and to incorporate best international practice as applicable to Bangladesh. • Formulation of a sustainable LGED-centered rural road safety policy and action plan • Improvement of road safety monitoring and evaluation for assessment of the effectiveness of rural road safety interventions. 17. The project will support LGED actions to improve data collection at Upazila and Union levels and to build capacity at HQ level in road accident data management and analysis. An assessment of the functionality and accessibility of the Road Accident Module of the central Road Information System in LGED will be done to determine approach in strengthening LGED capacity in accident data management and analysis. In the absence of reliable data from the police on accidents on the rural roads, the project will pilot approach to supplement missing information with data collection at community levels with the help of LGED field offices, community wardens and possible engagement of an NGO to help with data collection. Once underway, such data collection will allow LGED to do proper identification of blackspots on its network and develop appropriate remedial measures. The pilot approach is expected to be implemented in eight districts. The project will also consider supporting training programs for the police in properly recording road accidents. 18. The project will strengthen LGED-wide staff training in road safety. A comprehensive training program will be developed based on the five-day training implemented during RTIP-I. In addition more detailed and advanced modules will be developed to cover aspects of safe design of rural roads, geometric design, design of road safety countermeasures, road safety audit, safety during road works, etc. These programs will be developed by national road safety experts with possible collaboration with Banglagesh Univesity of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and with the support of the road safety advisor under the project and/or other international RS consultants as required. 29
