Feel free to copy, distribute, and transmit, as long as you attribute the work. Prepared by Jaya Bharathi Bathmaraj Kashmira Dubash Christopher Kost Sriram Surianarayanan With generous support from i Preface Coimbatore is a prominent industrial hub and second largest city in the state of Tamil Nadu. The city has been witnessing rapid growth of vehicles especially cars and two wheelers. Due to the high vehicle volumes, there is significant traffic congestion in the inner city. Though walking and cycling account for a quarter of trips in Coimbatore, most streets lack dedicated pedestrian and cycling facilities. Even where footpaths are available, they are either narrow or encroached by utilities and parked vehicles. The existing public transport system served by TNSTC does not have adequate good quality buses and is characterised by poor frequency, longer waiting times, and poor quality bus shelters. Due to lack of high quality public transport and non-motorised facilities, the city is seeing increased dependency for personal transport for even shorter trips. Most existing efforts to reduce traffic congestion have been focused on building grade separators and widening roads—initiatives that are primarily intended to benefit users of personal motor vehicles. To actively promote safe and accessible sustainable transport with focus on reducing vehicular increase and pollution, the Commissionerate of Municipal Administration, Tamil Nadu, in partnership with ITDP has initiated the “Sustainable Cities through Transport” process.
