Solution 2 16 Supporting poverty reduction goals by offering good access to the city In the context of low income and low accessibility, transport costs can represent up to 30% of household budgets excluding the time spent travelling. Public transport can provide an efficient way to give people access to basic services. Indeed, it will help those most marginalised if they have easy and affordable access to jobs, health centres, schools, universities and administrative centres, ensuring greater social cohesion. Access is also for people with disabilities Relative expenses in Transport Social policies can only have limited impacts if people are not given good and affordable access to basic needs Percentage of Income 40,0 35,0 30,0 25,0 20,0 15,0 10,0 5,0 0,0 Private Transport Public Transport 0-250 250-500 500-1000 1000-1800 1800-3600 >3600 Absolute and relative transport expenses by income level, Sao Paulo, 1997 Reais$/month
Creating a local or regional transport authority to support local policy-making Urban transport is a great challenge in many aspects, due to numerous conflicting issues. To address this challenge, there must be an integrated transport authority that ensures cohesive policies with respect to all the different stakeholders. Indeed, planning a transport network and financing infrastructure ought to be done in a coherent way if projects are to be realized. Also, regulating traffic and public transport can be difficult to balance if done separately, as measures from one administration could counteract those of another administration. A transport authority once established must build legitimacy by developing strong ties with the local stakeholders in order to address urban transport challenges. They include: • Local communities • Transport user associations • Businesses and major employers • Public/private transport operators • Land-use agencies • Intercity operators • Decision-makers/elected officials Transport authorities will need to focus on strategic planning and establishing the best conditions for public transport to flourish, setting transport policies which complement the efforts of those who are actually developing and operating the public transport system. Only co-operation between transport actors can help to resolve urban transport issues Solution 3 17
