TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR PROVIDING CONSULTNG SERVICES FOR
UPDATION OF COMPREHENSIVE MOBILITY PLAN FOR
CHENNAI METROPOLITAN AREA (INCLUDING EXPANSION)

I. Introduction

The Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA) is requesting


applicants to develop a Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) for the Chennai
Metropolitan Area for 25 years up to 2048-49 (Base year 2023-24). The CMP will
provide a strategy for short, medium, and long-term investments to improve
accessibility for its residents and guide every decision taken by the CUMTA and other
relevant authorities related to people mobility and transport in urban areas. In addition,
the CMP will be a key document to justify and support transport proposals to the
Central Government and multilateral funding agencies.

II. Project Background

A Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) for Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA) spread
over an area of 1189 sq.km. was prepared in 2018 following the National Urban
Transport Policy (NUTP) Guidelines of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs
(MoHUA). The study had developed a perspective plan for the safe and sustainable
mobility needs of the people of Chennai over a 30-year horizon (till the year 2048)
with focus on:(i) mobility of people rather than vehicles; (ii) improvement and
promotion of Public Transport, non-motorised vehicles (NMVs), and pedestrians as
important city transport modes; (iii) integrating Land use and Transport Planning; and
(iv) recommending urban transport strateg(ies) in line with the NUTP.
The Chennai Metropolitan Area is proposed to be expanded to 5904 sq.km covering
the districts of Chennai, Kancheepuram, Thiruvallur and Chengalpattu in order to plan
for balanced regional development, develop a larger road network and integrated
transport plan. Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) is in the
process of preparing a vision document for the third master plan for CMA and hence
the Government of Tamil Nadu intends to update the CMP for the proposed CMA that
would address mobility needs of the people, support the long-term land use objectives
of third master plan and serve as an input to the strategic planning process.
CUMTA now wishes to engage a consulting firm to update the CMP (2018) for CMA
for the proposed extended area of 5904 sq.km and undertake extensive stakeholder
consultations to finalize the CMP and transport investment program containing short,
medium- and long-term projects. CUMTA will be responsible for the coordination and
streamlining of the implementation of CMP proposals through city agencies. It is thus
essential that CMP recommendations are sufficiently deliberated and consulted with
the various stakeholders including the people of Chennai. The CMP should also

5
include a review of climate adaptation requirements for the system to operate
effectively.

III. Objective of the Project

The objective of the project is to develop a long-term vision for mobility in the CMA
which duly integrates land use (as per third master plan) and transportation, and presents
a plan of public transport/transport infrastructure network improvements to achieve such
vision. The CMP should be based on Green, Resilient, Inclusive, Development focused
and Safe (GRIDS) principles focusing on the movement of ‘people’ instead of vehicles
and achieve following objectives:
✓ Green: Mobility with a low carbon footprint, air and noise pollution, fostering
sustainability
✓ Resilient: A system resilient to natural hazards and pandemic
✓ Inclusive
o Affordable access to work, live, learn and play opportunities for all
o Quality walking, cycling and integrated mobility, answering citizens’ needs
✓ Efficient Development: An efficient and well-performing system
✓ Safe: A safe and secure environment for all
✓ Innovative: A data-driven system fostering innovation and connected, autonomous,
shared and electric mobility
The CMP and accompanying framework shall be developed with a data-driven approach,
in which the vision is supported by quantifiable targets and set of KPIs that allow the city
to evaluate future scenarios, prioritize investments and track progress towards meeting
those targets.
During the updating, the consultant has to consider current and upcoming projects under
the traffic & transportation sector including non-motorised transportation. It would be
desirable to consider alternative long-term scenarios for land use and development so as
to reduce the overall travel demand through vehicles.
The CMP update should ensure that:
i. It addresses the most pressing mobility issues in the city (with an established link
between proposed investments and issues that are to be addressed);
ii. It first optimizes the use of existing assets (existing suburban and metro rail (service
type, additional rolling stock, pricing and availability), improves use of roadways
(priority allocation to buses, junction treatment, roadside friction, the role of streets
in urban space) before proposing new infrastructure assets;
iii. It fosters true integration across all modes of transport in terms of connectivity,
service, ticketing, payments (with required guidelines, standards) and pricing1;

1
Current pricing system for each mode discourages multimodal integration and transfers due to major disparities
in pricing..

6
iv. It contains a precise implementation plan, for all the projects with clear timelines,
estimated budgets, order of priority, and roles and responsibilities for different
stakeholders. Opportunities to boost private sector participation should be clearly
identified and suitable strategies developed, to optimise the use of scarce public
resources.
v. It allocates resources across projects as per vision in line with mobility targets and
targeted mode share to establish a causal link between the two
vi. It includes adaptation measures to address climate and disaster risks; and
vii. It integrates the mobility needs of women and the less-mobile in line with national
policy and the mobility needs of people in the bottom 40% by income

IV. Scope of work

The planning region of CMA covers an area 5904 sq.km which comprises districts of
Chennai, Kancheepuram, Chengalpattu and Thiruvallur. The study area includes CMA
and the planning horizon is 25 years. The consultant is expected to undertake the
following tasks in line with the objectives:
Task 1 Project delivery planning and methodology
Task 2 Review of Existing CMP and Urban Transport System of Extended Area and

Task 9 Stakeholder & Public Consultations
Task 10 Prepare Funding &Implementation Programme

The consultant is expected to re-evaluate the recommendations/proposals presented in


earlier CMP and update it in order to meet the study objectives and key goals of CMP.
The focus of the plan should be on structuring growth in the CMA region wherein
Chennai function as main focal centre and other satellite towns/growth areas in the
vicinity as nodes. The CMP shall recommend the strategies/proposals at city level and
for surrounding satellite towns/growth areas with an aim to reduce the overall motorized
travel demand and foster higher public transport and non-motorized transport.

part of the CMP. Consultant shall review the existing CMP prepared for area of 1189
sq.km and prepare survey plan accordingly to supplement theextended area. The plan
should describe the locations, schedule, sampling approach, and staffing plan for each
survey. The plan shall build on recent traffic surveys carried as part of the road safety
work for CSCL. The Inception Report should also include all survey forms that the
consultant plans to use.
Task 1.5 Work Plan
The consultant should prepare a detailed timeline for the updated CMP preparation
process indicating key dependencies and should identify contingencies to account for the
possibility that certain types of data are not available.
Task 1.6 Stakeholder Consultation Plan
The consultant shall devise and deploy a comprehensive plan and strategies for
stakeholders and public consultation with target audiences.
Task 2 Review of Existing CMP and Urban Transport System of Extended Area
and Establish Key Performance Indicators

Accurately identifying existing conditions in the transport system will provide an


effective base to define the direction for transport improvements and evaluate alternative
transport development scenarios.
The Consultant is expected to create framework for monitoring and evaluation of key
performance indicators (KPIs) based on GRIDS principles. The goal is to collate all the
data from transport related activities carried out by different authorities, map

8
ongoing/proposed transport projects, map all the data using GIS database, identify the
gaps and recommend measures the stated objectives and goals of CMP.
Task 2.1 Review of Existing CMP
1. The consultant shall review the plans, proposals and recommendations, including the
analytical and modelling work undertaken during the preparation of CMP with
respect to the objectives stated in section 3.3, and make recommendation for
adjustments as appropriate in a stand-alone report.
2. The consultant shall prepare a summary of transport characteristics and
recommendations given in earlier CMP for each transport mode (roads, walking,
cycling, 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers, bus and e-buses, metro, suburban rail, MRTS,
shared mobility options, car, urban freight, etc). The consultant shall also estimate
per passenger and per vehicle kilometres in terms of: CO2 emissions, air pollutants,
total cost, cost to user, cost to government; space use; fuel use; fatalities and severe
injuries. For bus, metro and suburban rail, the consultant will also include the fixed
cost (independent of number of riders) and variable cost (dependent on number of
riders). The summary data will be presented in a well-illustrated short document for
policy makers.

Consultant will be provided with the available past CMP Reports comprising relevant
traffic data in the available format and other transport related study reports available.
Consultant will also be provided with Urban Travel Demand Model (UTDM) developed
earlier (including the Highway, Public Transport Network, and Mode-wise O-D Matrices
in CUBE platform). Consultant is required to calibrate and update the travel demand
model for the expanded CMA.
Task 2.2 Review existing plans and other relevant studies
The consultant should obtain and review all relevant documents on the land use and
transport system as available i.e., Transport-related Detailed Project Reports, Master
Plan, Development Plan, Resilient Urban Mobility, Road Safety Action Plan, Women
and Bus Transportation in Chennai (study conducted by ITDP Public transport operating
statistics and route definitions or other transport/land use planning documents).
Any additional data on the transport network, transport policy, road crash data, land use
planning, mapping, rights of way on key corridors and other available engineering
parameters relevant to the study shall be collected by the consultant as necessary. Any
inconsistency or deficiency in the information shall also be addressed by the consultant.
The consultant should collate list of existing and proposed transport projects in the study
area and map them on a GIS platform.
Task 2.3 Review of Land Use Plan
Data on existing land use and land use plans should be reviewed/collected for the old and
extended study area and presented through a detailed review of existing development

9
plans, including the Master Plan and/or the City Development Plan (CDP). In particular,
new development areas that will affect transport demand in the study area should be
inventoried and summarized. Land use shall be reviewed with local planning
authority to discuss the major developments that are being envisaged in the study
area and the needs to be incorporated in the updated study. The population and
employment need to be updated according to the expanded area of CMA and other major
developments planned/proposed after the last CMP preparation. In the process of
integration, the consultant should review the future land-use patterns from the mobility
optimization point of view and propose patterns of land-use/transport integration. As
Third Master Plan (TMP) preparation has been initiated, the consultant should also
consider the vision of TMP while developing the scenarios.
Task 2.3 Prepare CMP Visions, Objectives and Goals
The consultant should clearly define vision and goals to guide the policy making process.
The vision statement has already been prepared in earlier CMP and this need to be
updated in line with the defined CMP objectives, and in consultation with various
stakeholders, factoring in the economic and development potential of the CMA, and the
integration of land use and transport. The overall vision should be supported by detailing
objectives (in line with GRIDS) and goals that capture, in qualitative terms, the overall
aspirations of the city. It is essential that the mobility improvement measures in a CMP
form a coherent package with a consistent vision and goals for the desirable direction of
city urban transport.The goals of CMP will be quantitative targets as mentioned in
Section 3.3 and finalised in discussion with stakeholders to be achieved within the
planning horizons. The following are suggested Objectives and Goals that may serve as
a base to be updated, based on the vision, objectives and goals of the CMP.
