Project Development Objective 1. Project development objective: (see Annex 1) To facilitate urban economic growth and improve quality of life by fostering the development. of an efficient and sustainable urban iransport system including effective institutions to meet the needs of the users in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). 2. Key performance indicators: (see Annex 1) The achievement of the project development objective would be measured through the ability of the project to (i) meet user needs; (ii) iunprive system efficiency; (iii) bring about sustainable improvements; and (iv) make institutions more effective. The key performance indicators for these project-specific objectives are listed below. More details are provided in Annex 1. (i) rail travel comfort ,substantially improved; incidence and severity of pedestrian traffic accidents reduced; (ii) suburban rail service frequency and train availability enhanced; road journey times and junction delays reduced; (iii) improvement in public transport cost recovery; poor households resettled satisfactorily from hazardous slum/squatter areas to permanent housing with improved living condition; and (iv) increased technical capacity for planning, traffic management, road safety, road maintenance, air quality monitorng and vehicle emission control. B. Strategic Context 1. Sector-related Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) goal supported by the project: (see Annex I) Document number: 21852-IN Date of latest CAS discussion: April 5, 2001 The CAS identified infrastructure bottlenecks as one of the major constraints to faster poverty reduction. Designed to be the first of a series of programmatic interventions, this project attempts to help MMR start a process of inmproving urban transport conditions in an environmentally and financially sustainable manner by supporting urgently needed physical investment and strengthening the institutional capacities required for this process. The project supports the important CAS goals by: (a) reducing transport bottlenecks; and (b) improving the performance of the public sector in urban transport. Through resettlement of a large number of poor households from hazardous squatter areas to permanent housing with adequate access to jobs and social services, the project is expected to directly improve the living condition for these households and contribute to urban poverty reduction. Resettlement would also reduce accident fatalities and injuries to squatters and commuters. 2. Main sector issues and Government strategy: The main sector issues facing urban transport in India and the Government Strategy are discussed in Background Paper No.6 to the Bank's Paper "Challenges for India's Transport Sector". The main national issues are summarized below. Urbanization: India's populalion is fast urbanizing. The urban population is expected to grow from the current level of 300 million to 410 million by 2010. The role of cities in the national economy is - 3 - increasingly important, as the share of urban GDP over national total has grown from 50 percent in the early 1990s to 60 percent in 2000. However, urban growth is also accompanied
