7 ACCESSIBILITY: WALKING TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT People walk farther to stations when the walking environment has certain attractive features. 7

8 ACCESSIBILITY: WALKING TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT Improving the walking conditions increases walking speed from 3.5km/h to 4.5 km/h 8

9 PLANNING CATCHMENT AREAS With improved walking conditions, people are willing to walk longer to reach a Public Transport Station, thus extending the catchment area 2 km walking around public transport stations 8 km to cycle to reach public transport stations 9

Station, thus extending the catchment area 2 km walking around

10 Population in catchment area ACCESSIBILITY: WALKING TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT Improvements to walking conditions help reaching more population for each available public transport station 50,000 45,000 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5, km/hr Walking Speed 3.5km/hr 20 min walk 30 min walk 10

23 INTER-MODALITY: CONSIDERING TRANSPORT MODES Source: IATP (2010) Major Trends and Case Studies 23

24 BENEFITS OF INTERMODALITY Increased catchment area Increased served population Take advantages of resources available Integrating a variety of urban actors in a mobility system More efficient public transport system 24

25 INTERFACE BETWEEN DIFFERENT MODES Public Transport and Walking Cycling Bicycle Boda-boda Handcarts MIXING MODES CONNECTING MODES 25

26 Handcarts serve the market of carrying goods at a low cost. In Nairobi, 65% serve central markets while 24% are around PT stations.
