7. OBJECTIVES OF CMP:
 The ultimate objective of a CMP is to provide a long-term strategy
for the desirable mobility pattern of a city's populace. To achieve this
objective, the following are the main objectives:
 To provide a long-term vision(s) and goals for desirable urban
development.
 To ensure that the most appropriate, sustainable and cost effective
implementation program is undertaken in the urban transport sector.
 To identify feasible short term, medium term and long term traffic
management measures and transport infrastructure needs to
facilitate safe and efficient movement of people for the present and
future.

8. VISION AND STRATEGIES
 To develop and improve a safe, efficient, convenient and people
focused transportation system that provides viable, reliable mobility
choices for all Vellore LPA residents which will lead to achieve more
livable conditions, economically vibrant and environmentally
sustainable and with better assets for the future generations.
 These consist of the following strategies:
 Mobility corridor strategy
 Land use and transport strategy
 Public transit and IPT strategy
 Freight management strategy
 Non‐motorized transport strategy
 Traffic engineering and management strategy

9. • Provide a balanced and connected transportation system
GOAL 1
• Achieving the 40 % paradigm shift from personalized transport choices to public
Transport Choice
GOAL 2
• Provide a transportation system that is accessible to all
GOAL 3
• Providing integrated land use and transportation system
GOAL 4
• Improvements in service level benchmarks
GOAL 5

10. EXISTING SITUATION
 The dynamics and patterns of urban
development has resulted in a lot of mixed
land use getting developed along major roads;
especially the three major National Highways
and the core city area. This has inevitably led
to encroachments due to informal activities
and parking in these areas resulting into
congestion.
 In Vellore LPA there are 61% of people are
there who can’t afford cars for their daily
routines.

11. CONT.
 Private vehicles are used by majority of the people in
preference to provided public transport. However, the
largest concentration of job opportunities is found within
and around the CBD. Major Job opportunities outside
the CBD are found in the northern and southern areas.
 Currently there are no dedicated Non Motor Vehicle
facilities (corridors) existing within the Vellore LPA area
whereas bicycle parking is available at the bus and rail
terminals. Only 6% of roads are having footpath on at
least on one side. Remaining 94% or roads are not
having footpath facility on either side.

12. PROPOSALS
 The strategy to attract people to transit is always
based on increasing convenience, affordability
and the promise of performance. The strategy to
retain riders is based on reliability and on the
many other aspects of a customer’s experience
that influence feelings of safety, trust and ease-of-
use.
 Proposals can be mainly divided in to :
 Public Transport Improvement plan
 Road Network Development plan
 NMT Facility Improvement plan

13. Cont.
 Public Transport Improvement plan:
1. BRTS Development plan:
As per the demand of ridership on the corridors the route plan is
proposed for BRT. The Bus Service on the routes like Anna Salai,
Katpadi Road and NH 234 are to be more loaded and hence the
capacity need to be enhanced for the horizon years.
2. MRT Development Plans:
The existing rail infrastructure can be used for Multi Modal
Transport System by introducing two/three coach trains and provide
the services in Vellore and Katpadi and also sub urban parts of the
Vellore LPA.

14. Cont.
 Road Network Development:
A road hierarchy is proposed by means of defining each roadway in
terms of its function such that appropriate objectives for that
roadway can be set and appropriate design criteria can be
implemented.
Functionally urban roads are classified as Arterial, Sub-arterial,
collector/distributor and Local Streets. Based on the hierarchy
various short, medium and long term proposals are given for 5, 10
and 20 years respectively.

15. Cont.
 NMT Facility Improvement:
To improve the pedestrian and NMT network in Vellore LPA, all the
arterial, sub arterial roads are proposed with footpath and cycle
track with proper segregation and also with universal accessibility
designs. Other than these main roads pedestrian network is
proposed where schools and colleges are there like Auxilium
College in Gandhi nagar area.
In Total Vellore LPA, 150kms of Footpath and Cycle track network
is proposed. And also the traffic management plans are prepared
for main junction areas within the Vellore LPA. Along with the
network pelican signal is proposed at mid-block crossing of Anna
Salai Road to ensure the pedestrian Safety.
Segregated Cycle lane and Pedestrian Path.
