Umta : an introduction

• GOI ,through the Ministry of Urban Development (MOUD), released the National Urban
Transport Policy (NUTP) in 2006

• NUTP recommends the creation of UMTA for in all cities of population > 1 Million

• The main objective was to facilitate co-ordinated planning and implementation of urban
transport programs and manage integrated urban transport systems.

• UMTA is envisaged to be an executive body governed by a board which would comprise heads of
various departments in the city, local elected leaders and eminent citizens.

• NUTP also recommends creation of dedicated revenues for urban transport to be paid into Urban
Transport Fund (UTF).

Need for UMTA

 No single agency has overall responsibility for urban transport

 To ensure the coordination among agencies related to transport
 To eliminate structural overlapping and structural gaps between agencies
 To bring clarity in the roles of agencies
 To facilitating a change in Transportation system in city
 Integrate Planning & Management in Urban areas
 To embed the customer service culture
 Bringing about a more equitable allocation of road space with people, rather
than vehicles, as its main focus

Benefits of UMTA

 Facilitate integrated  Facilitate multi-  Raising finances,  Facilitate rational

planning and modal integration of through innovative fare structures :
management of transport services : mechanisms :
urban transport : land use plans, road
network, parking facilities, All committees together can UMTA will setup mechanism
Nodal agency will monitor infrastructure, traffic come up with a plan to to revise fares as favourable
overall transportation. management will be operate generate revenue
as one

 Facilitate research  Facilitate TOD  integrated plan  Non-motorised

studies and (transit oriented It will help transport development
awareness : development) : In decreasing the
pollution level ,congestion , Cycle plans , pedestrian ways
UMTA will address will be boosted under UMTA
customers problems average waiting time ,fuel
TOD will reduce the
through Champaign consumption
household driving and lower

 4 Service Provision Authorities : 5 Land owning Authorities :
 State road transportation corporation : provides vital connectivity within  Indian Railways : Single largest government body which owns large
the state and inside cities portions of urban land

 PMPML : provides city bus Services, maintenance of buses , creating a  PMRDA : The land owned which falls beyond within the municipal
fare structure for passengers boundary.

 PMC: Main land owning agency within Pune urban area.

 PMRC : construction of the metro network , overall development of
metro

 Pune traffic police : Controlling the city traffic , enforcing traffic rules ,
Maintaining the overall traffic conditions
Overlapping of functions is commonly seen as an issue in a lot of t
their functions.
For example in case of the PWD, NHAI and PMC ; all are in some way
responsible for developing roads in a city.

Page 13 *PMRDA - Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority, *PMP- Pune Mahanagar palika
Gaps & Overlapping in the functions :

• Each agency performs its own urban transport initiatives and there is either no or very little coordination with other
agencies.
• Different agencies plying different modes of transport dictate parking policy within their own jurisdictions.
• Central level agencies such as NHAI, Indian Railways and Airports Authority of India are entitled to decide their tariff
policy autonomously. There is limited coordination at central and city level.
• There is no agency specifically handling integrated services such as common ticketing, multi-modal passenger information
and multi-modal terminals.
• Fares for buses are set by PMPML and PMRC ,once start functioning will set their own prize .
• No single agency has the responsibility to develop and promote technology based solutions for traffic management,
transport planning and designing of transport systems.
• No agency currently has the responsibility of training ,education of persons employed by an authority.
• PMRDA and urban development department ,Maharashtra overlaps In their functions as both are involved in urban
planning.
• PMPML and state road transport board giving bus services within and around the city at their own without coordination.
• New MI card’s registration has been started by PMPML from Jan 2016 categorizing it in annual/ general / student / senior
citizen passes which can only be used for PMPML bus travel , this could be used for other transport modes as well.
