of the Red Sea, would implement a Sustainable, Clean and Green Urban Mobility Master Plan (SCGUMMP) that could
entail the following:
- Integrating transport and city planning policies, while prioritising public transportation as the first option, active
modes of mobility for people (walking and cycling) and low emission modes for the transport of goods,
- Structuring the urban transport sector by empowering a public transport authority to take action for the
improvement of urban transport in the city. In the case of the City of Hurghada, this would mean a close
collaboration between the Governorate services and the GOPP. It will also require the evolution of some of the
current rules applying to transport and mobility, which appear counterproductive.
- Developing communication and participation strategies involving the public, with the aim of facilitating
behavioural changes,
- Encouraging the rollout of new engine technologies in private and collective vehicles to help reduce fossil fuel
consumption in particular,
- Promoting active modes of mobility, especially walking and cycling, in particular by providing safer conditions for
the users and developing the use of electric bicycle,
- Adopt Rapid Transit Bus (RTB) system from the airport to the city centre of Hurghada,
- Proposing a specific action plan for tourism operators to offer appropriated services that would undermine the
City attractiveness on the long term, and
- Implementing a common methodology to measure GHG emissions, report on them and monitor all other benefits
deriving from the development of sustainable urban mobility.
Such a comprehensive plan would require a strong leadership from the Governorate. The design would need the
contribution of a team of experts to explore the best options combining recommendations regarding city planning,
governance of the public transport system to be set up, governance – in partnership with the Governorate – of transport
private operators, promotion of best practices and appropriate technologies, promotion and communication.
Only when such a comprehensive plan would have been designed, it will be possible to detail investment required and
time scale to transform the transport and mobility systems in the City of Hurghada.
4.2.1.2 Expected results
Assumptions:
- Improved management and awareness among transport operators could lead to a 10% reduction in energy
consumption from 2020 onwards (without significant investment), and
- Providing the Sustainable, Clean and Green Urban Mobility Master Plan implementation would have started in
2020 at the latest and would demonstrate a 50% progress in implementation in 2030; the expected impact of
such a plan should generate a reduction of 30% by 2030. This would include:
• New engine technologies will allow securing a 10% reduction,
• Active mobility development (cycling and walking) allowing 5% reduction,
• Urban planning allowing traffic optimization that will reduce consumption by 10% and
• Public transport system and RTB service to the airport resulting in another 5% reduction.
