| Summary: | This report summarizes the findings of a
study partially financed by the joint United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP)/World Bank Energy Sector
Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP). A plan was
designed to phase out in-use old motorcycles in partnership
with the government agencies and private sector
(manufacturers and local banks). The report presents a plan
to assist the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA) to
reduce emissions from two-stroke engine motorcycles in
Bangkok. The report describes the two motorcycle clinics
that were organized in Bangkok in May and July 2000 to
improve the knowledge base, to promote awareness, to
encourage interagency coordination and public-private
partnerships, and to pilot the approach in generating
lessons for the proposed Bangkok Motorcycle Upgrade Project
(MUP). During these clinics, significant lessons were
learned and observed on the issues of public and private
sector involvement, the effectiveness of publicity campaigns
and advertisements, interview questionnaire preparation and
design, and the relevance of reconditioning for emissions. |
