Evidence-Based Planning
Analysing travel patterns, transport demand and network performance to inform planning decisions.
The Ghana Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project (GUMAP) supports efforts to improve transport accessibility, efficiency and sustainability. GAPTE contributes through mobility research, strategic planning and institutional collaboration across Greater Accra.
GAPTE's contribution to GUMAP focuses on evidence-based transport planning, improved public transport efficiency and collaboration with institutions responsible for urban development.
Analysing travel patterns, transport demand and network performance to inform planning decisions.
Supporting route coordination, service planning and the assessment of transport infrastructure needs.
Integrating transport with urban development while considering environmental impacts and the needs of vulnerable communities.
GAPTE has identified eight interconnected areas to guide its contribution to GUMAP's planning and development objectives.
Analysing travel behaviour, peak periods and transport choices to inform demand planning.
Assessing junctions and major corridors to identify congestion and traffic-flow challenges.
Improving the basis for route scheduling, network coverage and service coordination.
Evaluating investment priorities for terminals, interchanges and road improvements.
Aligning transport planning with residential, commercial and wider urban development.
Considering emissions, walking, cycling and equitable access in transport proposals.
Studying transport demand-management measures and their potential local impacts.
Encouraging well-connected communities around accessible public transport nodes.
Through its contribution to GUMAP, GAPTE aims to strengthen the evidence, partnerships and institutional coordination needed to improve urban mobility across Greater Accra.
The goal is a more connected, accessible and sustainable transport future for the communities that depend on it.
Better connections. Greater accessibility. Stronger communities.
