1 Urban Transport Development Investment Program (RRP MON 39256) SECTOR ROAD MAP 1. The government s vision for urban transport in Ulaanbaatar provides the basis for the sector roadmap to be implemented with, and supported by the proposed Urban Transport Development Investment Program for Mongolia. The sector roadmap includes both infrastructure and policy pillars to support the National Development Strategy (NDS) approved in The NDS includes strategic objectives to (i) improve the road network in Ulaanbaatar and upgrade the quality of public transport services; and (ii) considerably reduce the negative impact caused by motor vehicles on the environment, population, and street traffic. 2. In September 2011, the Ulaanbaatar Public Transport Department approved the Ulaanbaatar Urban Public Transport Sector Roadmap ( ) which is presented in Table 1. The main focus of the roadmap is the (i) development of a public transport system including a city-wide bus rapid transit (BRT) network; (ii) improvement of the public transport industry efficiency and reduction of bus operation costs by piloting performance-based contracts, consolidating bus industries, and installation of intelligent transport system (ITS); (iii) improvement of the quality of service by increasing bus speeds, providing dedicated bus lanes, clean buses, bus stops, capacity building, and ; (iv) capacity building of the public transport industry through, equipment, and information technology knowledge transfer; and (v) enhancing legal and management framework for efficient public transport system, management, and operations. 3. Expand urban transport capacity. In line with the NDS, improving public transport systems and services, and providing additional road capacity in Ulaanbaatar represent the key infrastructure pillars of the sector development roadmap. With kilometers of roads, the city has a low road area ratio by developing country standards. The road network has not been expanded to accommodate the increased population and vehicle numbers resulting to exceptionally slow operating speeds for both public transport and private vehicles. 4. Improve public transport systems and performance. Buses carried 600,000 passengers per day in Ulaanbaatar in Today, Ulaanbaatar s bus system is facing many problems including declining profitability, aging bus fleets, deteriorating trolleybus infrastructure, and increasing costs due to worsening congestion. New vehicles, upgraded trolleybus infrastructure, upgraded maintenance facilities, and bus transfer stations are needed to ensure adequate condition and operability of the system. The business environment for public transport will be reformed to improve efficiency and financial performance. 5. Approval of the Midterm Development Program by the Mongolian Parliament (Decree 36) on 25 June 2010, marked the formal introduction of a BRT into Ulaanbaatar s sustainable public transport development strategy. Under Decree 36, a BRT system will be implemented as an integral part of the public transport development strategy from 2013 to 2016 (medium-term). The BRT length will reach about 64.5 kilometers by The BRT system will incorporate an electronic ticketing (e-ticketing) system, bus management system (BMS), bus information system (BIS), pedestrian improvements, and selected road network investments and traffic engineering and management improvements along the BRT corridors to enable to implementation of an integrated urban transport system for Ulaanbaatar over the next 8 years. 6. Promote traffic management and safety. Ulaanbaatar is suffering from typical traffic management problems such as recurrent traffic congestion, traffic accidents, rampant illegal parking, inadequate pedestrian facilities, frequent traffic violations, and lack of parking

2 2 management policies and lax enforcement of traffic rules and regulations. Efforts have been made in recent years to improve traffic management through installation of the ITS components (traffic signals, vehicle detectors, and variable message signs, traffic control center) financed by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) fund. Further investments and capacity development activities will target improvements to the city s ITS operability and effectiveness. 7. Road safety remains a critical issue. For the whole of Mongolia, there were 320 deaths and 933 injuries in 2010 (55% in Ulaanbaatar), a 23% increase since In addition to drivers behavior, lack of pedestrian safety facilities, damaged roads, and dangerous intersections are the main causes. Widespread uncontrolled on-street and illegal parking is a major problem. A detailed road safety assessment and action plan will be prepared and implemented through parallel capacity development technical assistance. 8. Reform institutions. The decision making process at the institutional level is often paralyzed due to overlapping responsibilities with multiple agencies responsible for urban transport in Ulaanbaatar including Roads Department, Public Transport Department, IT Department, Construction and Urban Planning Department, and the Traffic Police. Urban transport agencies need to (i) increase the capability and number of skilled staff; (ii) improve coordination between jurisdictions, functions and operations; and (iii) implement effective traffic management. There is an urgent need to establish an efficient institutional system to improve coordination and manage transport planning, implementation, management and operation in order to deliver sustainable transport programs and projects. 9. In conjunction with Decree 36, the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar (MUB) is updating the Ulaanbaatar City Master Plan prepared in The parliament also approved the new midterm development program including a road network upgrade effort ( ). The total investment on urban road projects over the period is budgeted at MNT 1.1 trillion (equivalent to $800 million). 10. A Public Transport Committee (PTC) will be formed to facilitate and manage roadmap implementation under Decree 36. The PTC will be chaired by the Mayor of Ulaanbaatar, and will comprise representatives of the Ministry of Finance; Ministry of Roads, Transportation, Construction and Urban Development (MRTCUD); the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy; Traffic Police; MUB s City Development Policy Division, Finance Department, State Fund Division, Public Transport Department, Road Department, Information Technology Department, Urban Development Department, and City Traffic Control Center.
