Printed and distributed by: GIZ TRANSfer, Bangkok, Thailand Bangkok 2019 Background Information on the TRANSfer Project The TRANSfer project is run by GIZ and funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI)of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU). Its objective is to support developing countries to develop and implement climate change mitigation strategies in the transport sector as “Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions” (NAMAs). The project follows a multi-level approach: • At country level, TRANSfer supports selected partner countries in developing and implementing NAMAs in the transport sector. The NAMAs supported by the project cover a broad variety of approaches in the partner countries Indonesia, South Africa, Peru and Colombia. • At international level and closely linked to the UNFCCC process, the project helps accelerate the learning process on transport NAMAs with a comprehensive set of measures (events, trainings, facilitation of expert groups, documents with guidance and lessons learned such as the transport NAMA handbook and a database, which is an interactive wiki-based portal that provides access to transport NAMAs). Activities at country and international level are closely linked and designed in a mutually beneficial way. While specific country experience is brought to the international stage (bottom-up) to facilitate appropriate consideration of transport sector specifics in the climate change regime, recent developments in the climate change discussions are fed into the work in the partner countries (top-down).

It provides an inventory of urban mobility systems in Thailand and an inventory of national and urban mobility planning. This report acts a repository of data and information that sets out the existing national urban mobility situation. This report then presents a diagnostic assessment of urban mobility and how it is planned to identify an urban mobility programme that should overcome many of the urban mobility issues faced in Thailand today.
