| Summary: | In many Russian cities, these growing
demands for mobility are not adequately met by the existing
urban transport infrastructure and services. Most
municipalities have had difficulties in planning and
managing the development of their urban transport systems in
a coherent manner, which is a precondition for successful
resolution of the existing transport problems. In addition,
there is a need to develop and put in place a sound legal
and regulatory framework. Thus, in order to create favorable
conditions for addressing the existing transport problems,
there is a need to develop a national framework that would
contribute to the creation of pre-requisites for sustainable
development of urban transport systems. The purpose of this
work is to develop proposals for the formation of the
national framework for improvement of the quality and
sustainability of urban transport and road traffic safety in
Russian cities. |
