Funding for purchase of Buses for urban

Transport System under JnNURM (as

declared on 12.01.2009)

the balance in all cases is to be provided by the State Government or ULB

>4 million 35% of the project cost

1-4 million 50% of the project cost

<1 million

80% of the project cost

Exceptions: North

Eastern states and

Jammu & Kashmir

90% of the project cost

Why the difference in what is recommended by the working group in the 12th plan and JnNurm Guidelines?

[ for example: for a city like Kochi which lies in the category 1-4 million population, the city will get 50% central assistance. However cities like Thiruvanathapurm which lie in the category of < 1 million, will get 80% central assistance: contestable difference in the recommendation by the working group and JnNURM guidelines.

What about the balance in case of JnNURM Guidelines?

There is no legislation at present that

covers the requirements of Urban

Transport.

Motor Vehicles Act: licensing of vehicles

Railway Act : Inter city traffic, metro

Construction Act: specific to

construction of metros

Tramway Act: deals with tramways

6

A comprehensive Urban Transport Act is

needed urgently. Acc. To the

recommendations of the working group,

the Act should:

1. Should cover all aspects of Urban

Transport.

2. The Act should be enacted by the

Central Govt. and the States may draft

rules under it as per their needs.

1. If the UMTAs are accountable to

MPC/DPC, does that mean the

responsibility of forming the UMTAs lie

with the MPC/DPC?

2. What about states which don’t have an MPC/DPC? (about 10/30)

3. What will be the institutional framework

of UMTA?
