On May 11th May 06 we organised a workshop on Transport Demand Management –
Measures for Mumbai. It was maybe the first organised and focused attempt at
discussing Transport Demand Management in Mumbai. The growing vehicular
traffic on the road and the overall increase in transportation trips means that
whatever supply is created is soon saturated. In such a scenario planning has to
evolve to be able to manage demand also.
The workshop was attended by professionals, activists and government officials. The highlight was the visit by Mr. S K Lohia Director, Urban Transport Ministry of Urban
Development.
