Comprehending Transport

Difficult to comprehend the significance of transport.

Problems in the power or water, immediately visible

Lights go off or taps run dry –the public immediately knows – medical analogy is a heart attack

Transport sector grinds to a halt slowly –like lung disease –slowly crippling the body

Public comes to accept poor transport as a way of life –the economy runs slow, quality of life bad, people die in accidents.

PPP model, IIFCL

Role of IIFCL  IIFCL is a SPV to provide long term finance to infrastructure projects  

Overriding priority to PPP projects Finance projects in sectors like roads, airports, ports, power, urban infrastructure etc

Way Forward Expanding Construction Capacity Construction industry capacity already overstretched – quality, price affected

Improving Contract Management On average publicly financed road construction contracts suffering 35% cost over-runs Poor quality of designs and site investigations. Land acquisition.

Accountability/Transparency. Media must do its part to increase the accountability of public institutions, examples:

Report cards on delivery of services by PWDs

New programs/projects public consultations

Performance statistics, e.g. road accidents by public transport buses

Regular columns responding to citizens queries about transport
