Project Inception
The Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) and the North-West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (NWKRTC) are pro-posing a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system between the twin cities of Hubli and Dharwad in northern Karnataka. Centre for Environ-ment Planning and Technology (CEPT) University, Ahmedabad is the BRT technical design consultant. The project is partly funded by the World Bank under the Sustainable Urban Transport Pro-gram (SUTP).
Collaboration
On the 12th of December, 2011, DULT and EMBARQ India signed a memorandum of understanding to demonstrate integration of land use and transport around the proposed BRT project connecting the twin cities of Hubli and Dharwad. A study was conducted in Hubli-Dharwad and a demonstration site was identified at Navanagar. The initiative was to serve citizens through the provision of improved mobility that is accessible, affordable, efficient, fast, frequent, comfortable, and safe.
Purpose
At EMBARQ India, we believe that using the TOD design principles, areas within walking distance of a BRT station can be shaped towards a more sustainable model of development. Creating more walkable, compact, mixed use and high-density development around such areas or nodes will provide safe, affordable and reliable transport options for larger number of people. It would also encourage increased public transport ridership thereby reducing overall travel time and the need to use private vehicles. Increased use of the BRT system will also ensure its financial sustainability.
In addition, these efforts would also directly provide improved air
quality and living conditions to a large segment of the population of Hubli-Dharwad. The project at Navanagar also encourages the concentration of people around employment generating zones thereby reducing work trips. EMBARQ India’s proposal consists of seven principles, two of which, namely complete streets and public spaces, have been taken up for implementation currently.
Outcomes
Projections for the Hubli Dharwad / Navanagar Area over the 10 years after plan implementation include:
2015
Increase in BRT ridership due to better accessibility and higher densities located at walkable distances to BRT.A 30% increase in ridership from 1.2 lakh to 1.66 lakh people.6 lakh people expected to benefit from the creation of public spaces integral to the project.
Reduction in travel times by 30% and travel distances by 20%.
2017 35 stations will have improved access and enhanced
pedestrian environments.
2020 At least 9. 8 lakh people will live in high density, mixed-use
and compact developments designed on TOD principles.

TOD Concept
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is a walkable, mixed-use form of area development, typically focused within a radius of either 600m of a Light Rail Transit (LRT) station or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station; or within 800 m of a Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS). TODs rely on concentration of higher densities around transit stations, thereby increasing ridership. This form of development utilizes existing infrastructure and optimizes use of the existent transit network while creating mobility options for transit riders and the local community. Successful TODs provide a mix of land uses and higher densities that create a convenient and vibrant community for residents and visitors alike. In addition, TODs also enable and encourage sustainable long-term urban growth.
TOD in the Indian Context
The EMBARQ India approach to TOD is that of a connected city. The idea seeks to address the factors of NMT Connectivity, Density, Diversity, and Demand Management as well as those of public space design, built and natural heritage. The context of Indian cities is very unique in terms of juxtaposition of different genres of development including those from pre-independence to post-independence eras. When overlayed with a diverse sociocultural and economic population, this juxtaposing creates a complex system that needs a sensitive approach. In such a context, TODs spur development on one hand and impact indigenous social diversity and religious cultural spaces on the other. Therefore, TOD guidelines should consider and assign priorities to allow for development that protects and conserves the existing sociocultural and spatial fabric.
Approach
A TOD approach is multi-pronged. It addresses the design and physical creation of spaces, streets, living areas, and work zones. It also involves commitment by responsible agencies, institutions, key stakeholders and citizens towards the plan vision.

TOD in Indian Cities
Rapidly transforming urban centres in India are creating enormous economic opportunities on the one hand and posing a great infrastructural challenge on the other. As per the 2011 census, about 31% of the total Indian population live in cities (377,105,760 out of 1,210,726,932). Over 53 Indian cities house populations of over 1 million (from 35 cities in 2001). From 2001-2011, the total number of registered vehicles has increased from 55 to 142 million. During the same period, about 11.5 million vehicles have been added to the 10 metropolitan cities in India of which 95% are private vehicles. Such large numbers of private vehicles consume a substantial percentage of funds for infrastructure creation but with no respite from increasing congestion. Efficient public transport systems are the need of the hour and are beginning to be recognized for that purpose. Policy makers have understood the need for efficient public transport systems. The National Urban Transport Policy (2006) aims to encourage sustainable public transport systems in major cities across India. Many public transport projects are being taken up in terms of BRTS, MRTS, or LRTS. In order to be self supporting, public transport needs to be integrated with land use and housing and provide employment opportunities. In this context, TOD is the best strategy to optimize densities and to ensure effective use of resources for efficient and comfortable mobility options.
TOD in Hubli-Dharwad
Hubli and Dharwad are 20 km apart and are governed by Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC), created in 1962. Today, Hubli-Dharwad has spread across an area of over 202.3 sq. kms. The Hubli-Dharwad Urban Development Authority (HDUDA) was created in 1965 to undertake major infrastructure projects in both cities and their surrounding villages. A new township
named ‘Navanagar,’ a township in between the two cities has a good balance of residential areas along with institutional and commercial developments.
Hubli and Dharwad are connected by the Pune-Bangalore (P.B) Road which has seen tremendous growth of traffic in the last few years. In order to accommodate the increases in traffic, a road-widening project has been taken up along P.B. road. A BRTS has been conceived along the P.B. road between Hubli and Dharwad, in order to meet the increased demand for ridership. (Refer fig. 3.1)
TOD around the BRT Corridor
The Hubli-Dharwad area is currently undergoing rapid population growth. The proposed BRT will further fuel this growth. To cope with this, transit oriented development is proposed along the corridor. This BRT system will minimize sprawl and will serve as a ready to use commuter system for the additional population. Also, the proposed revision of the comprehensive development plan (CDP) for Hubli Dharwad in 2015 is an opportunity to incorporate the TOD principles. Incorporating TOD into the development plan will help in delivering efficient, comfortable and affordable mobility options to its citizens. Transit oriented development will (a) improve overall connectivity, (b) provide safety for walkers, cyclists and women, (c) prioritize public transportation and minimize private vehicle usage. This will minimize private vehicle usage. By adopting strategies like mixed land-use, high density, and small walkable block sizes, TOD will encourage walking and non- motorized travel modes.
Development triggers in the area are ongoing projects like the widening of P.B. road, upcoming Hubli Dharwad BRT, Hubli airport modernization, proposed electrification and doubling of

the railway line, inland container depots, goods yard along with improved Mumbai-Chennai road corridor etc. High land values in Hubli and Dharwad have led to haphazard development adjoining PB road and it needs to be streamlined to ensure optimal utilization of the road widening as well as the upcoming Hubli Dharwad BRT.
Selection of Pilot Project
A preliminary study by EMBARQ India showed that area around the proposed BRT corridor houses a variety of natural and built environments such as the Unkal Lake, all the three ASI listed monuments in Hubli – Dharwad (i.e. Chandramoleshwara Temple, Banashankari Temple and the Dharwad Fort). The BRTS terminals in Hubli and Dharwad are both located in the historic cores of the cities. Several villages along this corridor continue retain a traditional character.
The potential TOD demonstration sites studied were Dharwad CBT (proposed BRTS terminal), Vidhyagiri, Yalaki (Lakkamanhalli), Navanagar (express stop), Unkal, Vidhyanagar and the Hubli CBT.
A demonstration project was identified based on the presence of: 1. Heritage and natural features, traditional settlements, 2.Modern planned neighbourhoods of varying degree of completion, 3. Greenfield sites, 4. Commercial activities, government and educational institutions, transport hubs and whether these nodes were provided with an express bus stop. BRT stations along the corridor were assessed to identify one with the maximum number of overlaps.

Principles of a Connected City
1. Compact DevelopmentEncourage high density, mixed-use development with a high level of services in places where people stay and work within walkable and biking distances.
2. Transit Supportive UsesProvide and intense mix of complementary activities like residential, commercial, institutional such that they allow safe use of public spaces and access to transit throughout the day.
3. Complete StreetsProvide safe access to people (walking or biking) that allows informal sector as well as vehicles and public transit.
4. Public SpacesProvide safe, comfortable and vibrant public spaces.
5. Cultural LandscapesConsider strategies to protect both tangible and intangible heritage and environmentally sensitive areas that may be impacted by intensification of development.
6. Integrated TransportEnsure efficient, comfortable, and safe shift from one transit to another.
7. Travel Demand Management Provide strategic parking for private vehicles, bicycles, rickshaws, auto-rickshaws and vendors.
The ingredients of successful TOD include strategic back-up such as a strong development climate and well designed master plans for multiuse, high-intensity developments supported by implementation strategies. They also include investments that promote the following :
• Easy and direct pedestrian, bicycle and public transit access
• Provide a safe, secure and attractive pedestrian environment
• Clear,readable signage as well as safe and comfortable environment to facilitate pedestrians
• Significant regional accessibility to major employment and activity centers
• Short, direct connections between transport modes and transit facilities
• Bicycle lanes and bicycle parking facilities at stations• Attractive facilities that are integrated with the
surroundings (public spaces, street furniture etc)• Safe and secure designs, including adequate lighting• Effective parking management around stations• Environmentally friendly technology options, such as
shared fleets of alternative (electric) vehicles located in neighborhoods
