Key Challenges of Sustainability Index Development for Urban Transport System of Jaipur City

Abstract

Urban areas help a nation's economic growth. Urban efficiency can support economic development. Allocating and using resources determines efficiency. Transportation efficiency is crucial. A reliable urban transportation system improves metropolitan regions' operation. Increased automobile ownership in cities has caused traffic congestion, pollution, accidents, and a fall in non-motorized mode share. Rapid growth in private cars has led to unequal mode share in most Indian cities. These problems are connected to sustainable development's social, economic, and environmental elements. In light of these problems, a technique exists to evaluate transport sustainability. Given the importance of urban mobility, a micro- and macro-level evaluation framework is needed. The project aims to create a comprehensive framework for evaluating transportation sustainability. The study focused on indicator selection, data collection, and analysis. Researcher evaluating electric mobility, shared and electric mobility, and trip time and cost. The paper recommends two policy solutions for boosting the transport system's sustainability based on an examination of nine distinct scenarios under three different methodologies.
