About:

• The report suggests a holistic framework for efficient and convenient public transport to answer the twin problems of pollution and congestion.
  
  
• The overall objectives of the framework are 3C’s:
  1. Clean: Pollution-free, leading to clean air and hence better health and living standards
     
     
  2. Convenient: Seamless, safe, affordable, accessible for all sections including the elderly & disabled.
     
     
  3. Congestion-free: Minimum congestion levels, and hence enhanced economic efficiency
     
     
  
  
  
• Pillars: To achieve the objectives, following action-agenda is advocated around four key pillars –
  1. Connect Bharat: it calls for building Safe, Adequate and Holistic Infrastructure (SAHI) for all our citizens.
     
     
  2. Optimize travel footprint,
     
     
  3. Promote seamless, co-operative transport, and
     
     
  4. Adopt green modes and technologies.
     
     
  
  
  
• Enablers: These pillars have to be well supported by a common set of enablers – Skills and employment, Intelligent Transport Systems, Public Awareness, Governance and Financing.
