This study assesses how the implementation of transit-oriented
development (TOD) can help address urban development issues in
India. In the context of metro rail systems, TOD has much potential
to promote inclusive and sustainable urban mobility. It can also
enhance the livability and resilience of cities through better
integration of land use policies and the development of the
transport network. TOD presents an opportunity to utilize land
value capture mechanisms to augment cities' finances. The study
seeks to understand key achievements and challenges of TOD
implementation in selected major cities in India. It also explores
why synchronized interaction between TOD measures and land use
regulations is essential to maximize the socioeconomic benefits of
metro rail investments.
This manual sets out how to combine road safety audits with the
International Road Assessment Programme methodology in a star
ratings system. This system, Star Ratings for Road Safety Audits,
will help policy makers and practitioners involved in designing,
upgrading, and rehabilitating roads to meet safety targets and
reduce injuries from traffic accidents.

The Master Plan presents a comprehensive 10-year strategy and
action plan for improving the subregion's transport linkages across
the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and
Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) member states. It is intended to
guide actions and promote synergies among various connectivity
frameworks and help achieve sustainable development of the region.
A specific framework is presented here for organizing a set of
policies, strategies, and projects toward realizing a shared vision
of peace, prosperity, and sustainability. With BIMSTEC's unique
geographical position as a bridge linking South and Southeast Asia,
this document is also relevant to its neighboring regions. BIMSTEC
was established as a regional organization in June 1997 to promote
free trade within the region, increase cross-border investment and
tourism, and promote technical cooperation.
This publication explains how the 11 member countries of the
Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program can
build safer and more competitive transport corridors for people and
goods. It gives an overview of each country's road network and
identifies how to better collect data to bolster road asset
management systems and improve planning. Highlighting the benefits
of sharing best practices, the publication offers tips on how to
fine-tune performance-based road maintenance contracts. It also
shows that by efficiently using budgets, countries can maintain and
manage vital transport arteries to help boost sustainable
development in the region.
This publication provides an overview of the transport sector in
Tajikistan, along with major development constraints, the
government's strategies and plans, and assistance provided by ADB
and other development partners. Tajikistan is a landlocked country
in Central Asia. Transport plays an essential role for ensuring
connectivity and facilitating movement of goods and people within
the country and along borders shared with its neighbors in the
region. The publication serves as a basis for dialogues on ADB's
future collaboration with the Government of Tajikistan to promote
the transport sector's development effectively in the coming years.
