All Rights Reserved. Full Length Research Paper Road Transport and Environmental Deterioration in India Mary Tahir1*, Tahir Hussain2 and Mushir Ali3 1. Associate Professor, Department of Geography, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India 2. Associate Professor, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Mekelle University, Ethiopia, NE Africa 3. Assistant Professor, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Mekelle University, Ethiopia, NE Africa *Corresponding Author: Mary Tahir Abstract In developing countries like India especially, increasing demand for private vehicles is outpacing the supply of transport infrastructure including both road networks and public transit networks. As a result problems related to congestion and air pollution appeared. Transport predominantly relies on the fossil resource, petroleum that supplies 95% of the total energy used by transport in the world. Transport sector is responsible for 23% energy-related GHG emissions with about three quarter coming from road vehicles. The rate is 2% per year, with the highest rates of growth in the emerging economies. CO2 is a major component of GHG emissions from transportation resulting from the combustion of petroleum-based products, like gasoline, in internal combustion engines. India’s auto sector accounts for about 18% of the total CO2 emissions whereas road transport is the largest contributor. This sector consumes about 16.9% fossil fuel based energy sources and produces the toxic pollutants those vary state to state in India. The aims of this paper is to investigate growth and increasing trend of different type of vehicles in India, and to analyze distribution of the emitted of gases and pollutants state wise by road transportation in India.

  • 11.3.2 Transport Services and Infrastructure
    11.3.2 TRANSPORT SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE A well-knit and coordinated system of transport plays an important role in the sustained economic growth of the country. An efficient, safe and sustainable transport system is fundamental to the well-being of every citizen. The present transport system of the country comprises several modes of transport including rail, road, coastal shipping, air transport etc. Passenger mobility in the country heavily relies on rail and road networks. Tamil Nadu is in the forefront in the country in providing an efficient transport service to the people. Rail and Road are the dominant modes of transport in Tamil Nadu. Railways provide track services for bulk movement of certain essential commodities and passenger transport. Road transport provides long distance services for other commodities besides taking up the medium haul and short haul traffic including feeder and distribution activities. Road transport offers advantages of lower cost for short hauls as well as flexibility in operation. Road Transport Before Independence, bus transport was in the private sector. After independence, the nationalisation of passenger road transport in Tamil Nadu was taken up in stages starting with the take over of all routes in Chennai city in 1948. In 1959, a policy was adopted to take over all bus routes exceeding 120 miles. Later a policy to nationalise the stage carriages was formulated in 1967. The stage carriages of private operators who owned more than 50 permits were acquired under the Tamil Nadu Fleet Operators State Carriages (Acquisition) Act, 1971. The idea was that the monopoly of big private operators should be checked.

  • Highways Department Demand No:20 Policy Note on Roads, Bridges and Shipping 2005-2006
    HIGHWAYS DEPARTMENT DEMAND NO:20 POLICY NOTE ON ROADS, BRIDGES AND SHIPPING 2005-2006 I. INTRODUCTION Development of infrastructure leads to economic growth of a region and improved living conditions of the people. The development of road infrastructure in particular will accelerate the growth in industry, power, road transport and also in social development. Development of a good road network also acts as a catalyst for economic development of the rural areas of the State. The road network of the State influences considerably the economic development, population distribution, the size and shape of cities and towns, energy consumption, access to social infrastructure and above all the quality of life. The government under the dynamic leadership of the Hon’ble Chief Minister does not consider the roads as mere connecting links but as an essential requirement for the over all development of the State. Tamil Nadu has a more extensive road network than most Indian States. The total length of roads in the State is 1,78,062 Km, of which 61,289 Km is managed by the Highways Department. The 61,289 Km of road network comprises 3850 Km of National Highways, 7230 Km of State Highways, 7383 Km of Major District Roads, 41,191 Km of Other District Roads and 1635 Km of Sugar-cane roads. In terms of road density per 100 square Km, the State’s position is commendable that it increased from 29.70 Km in 1951 to the present level of 127.68 Km, which is about 70% more than the national average of 74.73 km per 100 sq.km.
