  • Ministry of Transport
    MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT DRAFT SECTOR MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR 2014 - 2017 January 2014 Ministry of Transport SMTDP 2014-2017 Page 1 Ministry of Transport SMTDP 2014-2017 Page 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the first Draft of the Ministry of Transport Sector’s Medium Term Development Plan (SMTDP) which has been developed through a consultative process involving the Ministry of Transport and the transport sector Agencies over which it has oversight responsibility. Led by the Ministry, the process commenced in April with consultations and briefings, progressed through August. This SMTDP broadly follows the guidelines and structure proposed by NDPC although, in a search for more detailed and relevant guidance. Chapter 3 looked at the challenges typically presented by the sector to discover the underlying reasons particularly for the perpetually reported ‘lack of financing’, the policy objectives and strategies of the sector. Every effort has been made to harmonize the performance review undertaken in Chapters 1 and 2 with: The sector objectives set out in the Ghana Shared Growth and Development Agenda (GSGDA); the analysis undertaken as part of the Integrated Transport Planning (ITP) project; and the annual performance and operational reviews undertaken by the Agencies. The transport sector benefits from alignment between the objectives set out in the GSGDA with the policy goals and objectives set out in the National Transport Policy (NTP). Chapter 3, provides the adopted policy objectives and strategies from the National Medium Term Development framework 2014-2017 to achieve MDA and National goals in relation to the appropriate theme and also make development projections for 2014-2017 It is the intent of the Ministry and its Agencies to update and integrate more of the ITP recommendations into future plans for the sector.

Head of Department Signature Date i ABSTRACT The State Transport Company, like many service organizations, faces the problem of how long a bus should be on the road before it is replaced. The aim of this thesis is therefore to determine a schedule of disposals and replacements of the Higher bus, taking into account the revenue generated, operating cost and the salvage values, such that the total cost of these activities is minimized. Data was collected from the State Transport Company Office in Kumasi on the revenue generated, operating cost, and the salvage values on the bus with time. The problem was solved by using dynamic programming. It was found out that the company should always dispose its buses when they are two years old. ii DEDICATION I give thanks and praises to the Most High God on whose grace alone bring all good things into fruition.

  • 2010 Population and Housing Census
    WA WEST Copyright (c) 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Wa West District is one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence- based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.

  • Country Report: Ghana
    Report by INTALInC Transport and Social Exclusion in Ghana June 2019 Supported by the Volvo Research and Educational Foundations i Authors Albert M. Abane, Regina O. Amoako-Sakyi, Samuel A. Owusu, Kwabena K. Agyemang, Prince K. Odame, University of Cape Coast, Ghana International Network for Transport and Accessibility in Low Income Countries (INTALInC) Volvo Research and Education Foundations (VREF) Photographic Contributors Regina O. Amoako-Sakyi, University of Cape Coast, Ghana Emma Tsoneva, University of Leeds, UK Executive Summary Ghana, a country of about 29 million people is classified as a lower middle-income economy gradually being taken over by the services sector after a long ride with the agricultural sector. Currently, about 55.3% of the population is urbanised, rising from 4 million to 14 million over the past three decades. The nation’s capital and largest city by population size, Accra, has an estimated urban population of 2.27 million whilst Cape Coast, the seventh ranked city, has a population of 227,269. Poverty is still a challenge to its citizens and, over the years, several programmes have been rolled out to tackle its effects on vulnerable populations such as orphaned children, people with disabilities and the elderly. Among these initiatives are the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP), Capitation Grant, School Feeding programme, free distribution of school uniforms and books, Community-based Health Planning Services (CHPS), free bus rides for school children (FBRSC) and, just recently, free Senior High School Education. Most of these programmes have chalked various levels of success since their implementation. The country was able to half poverty between 1992 and 2013, reducing it from 56.5% to 24% and extreme poverty from 16.5 to 8.4%.

  • Co-Modality: Opportunities and Barriers in the Greater Toronto Area
    Co-Modality: Opportunities and Barriers in the Greater Toronto Area by Bernard Adu-Mensah A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2019 ©Bernard Adu-Mensah 2019 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The Greater Toronto Area is said to be one of the fastest growing regions in Ontario experiencing many challenges due to the influx of population and the demand for goods and services. Amongst the challenges include externalities associated with the last mile delivery of goods such as traffic congestion, emissions of Green House Gases, and illegal parking of delivery vehicles posing as threats to active transportation. The purpose of this study was to identify opportunities for combining both passengers and freight (parcels) in the same vehicle at the same time (co-modality) and barriers that might hinder such a practice in the city of Toronto. The study also sought to identify current co-modal practices in the Greater Toronto Area. The methodology employed for the research was the exploratory research design using semi-structured interview guides to collect valuable information from stakeholders in the city of Toronto through telephone interviews and face-face interviews. Again, information was obtained through literature review. The information collected from the interview process were analysed using the thematic framework analysis.

Dr. Isaac K. Arthur (Date) (Principal supervisor) ………………………………….. ……………………………. Dr. Ernest Agyemang (Date) (Co-supervisor) i University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT Public transport is crucial for the growth of any economy and trade, both of which are highly dependent on the conveyance of people and goods. However, there is, in many cities of developing countries, a major challenge of adjusting the existing system of mobility to the evolving transportation needs of the people. The situation in the Accra Metropolitan area provides a template of the circumstance in most of these city-regions. Against this backdrop, the study investigated the use of public transport service in the Metropolis through a comprehensive mode choice analysis, reasons for mode choice and challenges of urban transport accessibility. Within a mixed method of research, 3 sub-metros of the Accra Metropolitan area were purposively selected, where 210 purposively selected respondents were obtained for the surveys.
