Post Event Report: Urban Mobility India Conference & Expo 2019

Reena Arora Manager, UMI IUT India

he challenge that India is facing is that the use of desirable modes oftransport; walking, bicycle and public transit is declining, and the undesirable modes such as car and motorbikes, are increasing. The result is that congestion is increasing, mobility is being reduced, and accidents, pollution and the use of fossil fuels are increasing. One of the reasons for the present situation is that urban transport has been neglected in India for many years. T

To address these issues, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India issued the National Urban Transport Policy, 2006 (NUTP). The objective of the policy is to ensure safe, affordable, quick, comfortable, reliable and sustainable access for the growing number of city residents to jobs, education, recreation and such other needs within our cities. The policy provides a framework and a direction for possible interventions towards sustainable transport. Genesis of UMI Conference-cum-Expo

One of the key focus areas of NUTP is to build capacities at the State and city level to address the problems associated with urban transport and undertaking the task of developing sustainable urban transport systems. To meet the objective of the policy, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India institutionalized an annual flagship event at national and international level known as “Urban Mobility India (UMI) Conference-cum-Expo”.

The primary objective of the conference is to disseminate information to the cities, whose officials attend the conference to help them keep up-to-date with latest and best urban transport practices globally. The conference provides an opportunity to interact with other professionals, technology and service providers both domestic and international so that the delegates can carry home ideas to develop their urban transport along a sustainable path. The event brings together technology and service providers in urban transport from India and abroad as well as policy makers, practitioners and officials under one roof. Past Events
