Why do we need

transportation?

TRANSPORTATI

ON: • Engine of growth,

• Associated with large concentration

of firms, activities and people.

• Congestion, pollution and higher land prices

Post industrialization, motorization ���� private vehicles ���� problems like congestion,

pollution, inequality of services.

Why do people

travel?

Why do we need public transportation?

• Affordability,

• Reduced carbon footprint and

• Ability to move large number of

commuters

• urban cohesiveness,

• creates agglomeration economies and

• enhances the economic development

prospects of the firms along the routes.

What does public transportation do?

TRANSPORTATION & ECONOMICS:

Assumed link between the quality

of the transport infrastructure and

economic growth.

Economic

success

In the developing countries, capital

investment decides the type and

quality of public transit that a city

can have.Changes in transport have economic

effects through their influence on

• Regional patterns of commerce, on

• Incentives to invest and to

innovate,

• Location decisions of firms,

ECONOMIC IMPACTS:

Indicates a change in an item or an entity and includes both positive impacts

(benefits) and negative impacts (costs). It includes both short term and long term

activities.

All transportation investments bring about ECONOMIC IMPACTS, but not all

transportation investments result in ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:

The growth of jobs, wealth, tax base and well being of a neighborhood, city, region or

state.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS:

is a subset of “economic impacts” that result in economic development.

RESEARCH QUESTION:

• Do public transport investments (BRTS) have economic development impacts in

the region?

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:

• What has been the change in the share of the activities in the urban area?

SCOPE :• The inferences drawn from this research thesis shall be valid only for the

Ahmedabad city area covered by BRTS.

• Study focuses on the accessibility impacts and not the mobility impacts.

LIMITATION:• The analysis is not carried out on the number of jobs but in terms of the number of

opportunities in the respective sector.• What has been the change in the share of the activities in the urban area?

• Evaluate the changes in different sectors and verify how much of this economic

development has been around the BRTS stations.

• Check which are the sectors most affected by the BRTS, both positively and

negatively.

opportunities in the respective sector.

• As exact addresses of the properties were difficult to collect, the analysis is been

done by considering the predominant land use and area of the property tax wards.

RATIONALE:

Transit requires bulky investments and is usually drawn from public exchequer.

Transit investments benefit both users and non-users.

• Studying economic development impacts would help justify investments in

quantitative terms.

• Measuring economic impacts will enable local agencies to devise value capture

mechanisms.

Measuring, nature and scale of impacts, would enable project proponents to better

justify the investments.

Moving forward, we would require more investments in transportation – to drive the

economic growth of our cities. Establishing or proving a significant relation between

public transport (BRTS) and economic development, can be used as an effective key

to procure more investments towards the public transportation sector.

Is a standard regional analysis method, it determines how much of

regional job growth can be attributed to

• the national trends

• the unique regional factors.

It takes the change of an economic variable over time, such

as employment, and divides that change into various components.

SHIFT SHARE:

1. National growth effect: is the portion of the change attributed to the total

growth of the national economy. It equals the theoretical change in the

regional variable had it increased by the same percentage as the national

economy. (National share)

2. Industry mix effect: is the portion of the change attributed to the

performance of the specific economic industry. It is to be equal to the

theoretical change in the regional variable had it increased by the same

percentage as the industry nationwide, minus the national growth effect.

(Proportional shift)

3. Local share effect: is the portion of the change attributed to regional

influences, and is the component of primary concern to regional analysts.

It equals the actual change in the regional variable, minus the previous two

effects. (Differential shift, Regional shift or Competitive share).

SHIFT SHARE - CALCULATION:

The equation used has been developed by the “Carnegie Mellon Center for

Economic Development”, it is as follows:

SS = UA + IM + BRT

Where,

SS = is the shift share,

UA = is the Urban Area share,

IM = is the industry mix,

Where,

�i local(t-1) = number of local jobs in sector (i) at the beginning of the analysis period (t-1)

�i localt = number of local jobs in sector (i) at the end of the analysis period (t)

�UA (t-1) = total number of jobs in the nation at the beginning of the analysis period (t-1)IM = is the industry mix,

BRT = is the BRT location advantage.

The equations for each component of the shift-share analysis are:

UA = i local (t-1) • UA (t-1) / UA (t)

IM = (i local (t-1) • i UA (t) / i UA (t-1) - UA

BRT = i local (t-1) • (i local t / i local (t-1)– i UA (t) / i UA (t-1) )18

�UA = total number of jobs in the nation at the beginning of the analysis period (t-1)

�UA (t) = total number of jobs in the nation at the end of the analysis period (t)

�i UA(t-1) = number of jobs, nationwide, in sector (i) at the beginning of the analysis

period (t-1)

�i UA(t) = number of jobs, nationwide, in sector (i) at the end of the analysis period (t)

LOCATION QUOTIENT:

Is a way of quantifying how concentrated a particular industry, cluster, or

demographic group is in a city as compared to the nation. It can reveal what

It is also important to understand the economic composition of the city,

All the economic activities listed, have been classified in to various sector

heads.

All the sectors can be seen all across the city, but some are predominant in

certain areas.

The basic uses of industry LQs are:

• Which industries make the regional economy unique.

• The “export orientation” of an industry.

demographic group is in a city as compared to the nation. It can reveal what

makes a particular region “unique” in comparison to the national average.

Suppose,

X is the amount of some particular asset in a region, and

Y is the total amount of all assets in the region.

X/Y is then the regional “concentration” of that asset in the region.

LOCATION QUOTIENT - CALCULATION:INTERPRETING LOCATION QUOTIENTS:

A location quotient greater than 1: BASIC / PREDOMINANT

• Then the industry employs a greater share of the local workforce than it does

nationally, produces more goods and services than are consumed locally, which are

exported

A location quotient less than 1: NON-BASIC / NOT PREDOMINANTX/Y is then the regional “concentration” of that asset in the region.

if X’ and Y’ are similar data points for some larger reference region (like a state or nation),

then,

LQ or relative concentration of that asset in the region compared to the nation is (X/Y) /

(X’/Y’).

A location quotient less than 1: NON-BASIC / NOT PREDOMINANT

• Then the industry's share of local employment is smaller than its share of national

employment

If a location quotient equals 1: JUDGMENT CALL / NEUTRAL

• Then the industry's share of local employees is the same as the industry's share

nationally

CONCLUSIONS

AGGREGATE LEVEL ANALYSIS: WRAP UP

• Growth happening in the city in terms of residential and non-residential units and area.

The growth in residential units is seen to be slightly higher than the non-residential units, but in terms of area, there

has been a growth in the area under non-residential activities when compared to residential.

• Non-residential to residential ratio.

There has been not much change in the ratio of non residential to residential in terms of both units and area.

46

There has been not much change in the ratio of non residential to residential in terms of both units and area.

• Area intensity of the residential and non residential properties.

Over all the area per unit property has decreased from 2006 to 2013, this could be a reason of increase in land value.

• Residential and non-residential – shift share.

When considering the over all city, there has been greater influence on the non-residential sector when compared to

residential.

CONCLUSIONS

DISAGGREGATE LEVEL ANALYSIS: WRAP UP

• Growth happening in the six zones in terms of residential and non-residential units and area.

Non-residential units have increased in east, west and the maximum in new west zones, residential units have had a

major increase only in east zone.

In terms of growth in area, non residential has had a rise in west and new west, and residential has increased by

large in east, but has gone down in the west.

47

• Area intensity of the residential and non residential properties in the zones.

The area per unit property has decreased for both residential and non-residential in central, north, east and west

zones. New west zone has had a slight increase in the average area per unit property for both residential and non

residential.

• Residential and non-residential shift share.

All the zones except for south has shown to have a greater positive influence on the non-residential sector when

compared to residential, similar is the case of residential, all zone except new west has had a positive influence by

• Non-residential – shift share.

The detailed shift share for the non-residential sector was carried out to understand the influence of BRTS in each

zone and also the over all city.

It is seen that in the city all the sectors except administration and warehousing have seen a positive influence due to

BRTS, the maximum influence was observed to be in retail sector, followed by recreational – A and manufacturing.

From all the analysis it would be right to say that BRTS does bring in economic development impacts in the

city.

• But the extent of the impacts depend on the characteristics of the area, like the predominant land use, the

• But the extent of the impacts depend on the characteristics of the area, like the predominant land use, the

status of development, the income levels etc.

• And also the economic sector under consideration.

But how does BRTS contribute to business, yes all the analysis above have shown that there has been an increase in

the number of business activities.

The activities are benefited by the increased accessibility to them, the visibility advantage, the increase in number of

foot counts, and hence more sales (increased revenue), this in turn requires more work which creates more

employment opportunities in the city.

People like investing near projects which have a sense of permanence to them – BRTS satisfies the criteria.

But when one talks about impacts, there are also negative impacts.

• Impact on office prices in the city centre and in areas with direct access.

• The number of shoppers attracted to a town centre can be increased.

• Retailing turnover increases in the city centres, but the resulting increases in property prices and rents can have a

negative effect on the pattern of shops, driving the old established shops out of the most expensive city centre

streets.

IS ALL OF IT DESIRABLE ?

It can be seen that certain sectors are attracted to transit, but not all of them are desirable, in this case,

manufacturing sector which is generally a land consuming activity has been attracted.

Warehousing , thought its growth along BRTS is less it is still there.

Spatial distribution of land uses (development intensity and use) influences the travel demand, i.e., mobility patterns in

a city. Urban transport in turn influences land use development. Better understanding of this phenomenon would be

necessary to make effective land use and transport policies.

Understanding what is desirable and what is not is important.

In terms of the type of development that is desirable along the corridor, one option is to regulate it using property tax.

Property tax is different for all economic activities, so based on what has to be encouraged, the property tax can be increased or

decreased.

This study, has been an attempt to comprehend and rethink the way public transportation is looked at. The traditional

There is also the interesting question of whether and the extent to which BRTS proximity could affect the residential

location patterns, including changes in the housing market. Are they pushing away the residences or is there a pattern

to the type of residences being attracted to the BRTS zone?

This study, has been an attempt to comprehend and rethink the way public transportation is looked at. The traditional

thought is that providing public transportation is a social obligation of the government and that they shouldn’t be

looking at making profits or generating revenue.

Quantify in monetary terms the value of returns from investing in a public transport system.
