Strategic Transport Master Plan for the Capital City of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia
The project, funded by World Bank, is part of the Transport Systems Improvement Project (TRANSIP) implemented by ACCRA – Addis Ababa City Roads Authority – and aims to assess existing and future transport conditions, set transport goals for the city, review transport network and land use from the AACMP (Addis Ababa City Master Plan) and identify the necessary policy and infrastructure interventions.
This study addresses all sub-sectors of Addis Ababa’s transportation system, including transport governance, road development and public transport. It investigates the integration of different modes of transport in order to identify and implement a strategic infrastructure plan for developing countries.
