Climate Resilient Urban Mobility by Non-motorized Transport
African cities have begun to suffer climate change effects. In most African cities, populations are increasing rapidly and the reliance on Non-Motorized transport (NMT) is high, but dedicated NMT infrastructure remains underdeveloped. In all cities and towns across Uganda, the use of private vehicles has risen steadily over the years and has congested these cities, poisoned the air and killed NMT users at exceptionally high rates. This paper seeks to answer the question whether NMT projects are economically viable and how cities can maximize benefits of NMT for Climate conscious economic growth. This paper presents an Economic analysis of the NMT pilot project in Kampala using the Non-Motorized Transport Project Assessment Tool (NMT-PAT) to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the expected impacts (benefits and costs) with focus on Environmental and Health Benefits. The results of the analysis indicate that considering a design life of 15 years, Kampala city will experience reductions in emissions to the tune of 675,000 tons for Carbon dioxide, 13.81 tons of Particulate matter and 2536 tons of Nitrogen dioxide. The health benefits in terms of reduction in accidents valued at Uganda shillings 4,163,611,405,517.35 (USD 1,134,499,020) will also be realized. A general improvement in journey quality, security and livability will also be achieved as well as a reduction in the noise levels by about 3.75 dB. To encapsulate by implementing the proposed NMT infrastructure, a Net present Value of 14 trillion shillings (USD 3 Billion) shall be realized thus demonstrating that NMT investment is viable.
