elaborated on the assessment of urban transport projects in terms of economic, social and environmental<br />
impact so as to opti mise the benefits and develop the sustainable urban transport system. The toolkit is<br />
based on in-depth study of best practices at national and internati onal level in the field, the existing toolkits,<br />
guidelines and policy documents on various aspects of urban transport and wide consultati on with<br />
stakeholders comprising experts, policymakers, city officials, academicians, professionals etc. at various<br />
stages.<br />
It will be a useful reference guide to the city and state authorities and professional urban transport planners<br />
