Headline Transport indicators Rural Access, Urban Mobility etc Transport Results Initiative Asia: Consultation Workshop 22-24 April 2005
Rural Access indicator A short history:• Apr ’03: IDA group requests Infrastructure indicators• Sep ’03: Rural Access indicator agreed in principle – proportion of the rural population within 2 km of an al – season road • Apr ‘04: Rural Access measured for 30 IDA countries – representing more than 80% of IDA rural population • Jul ’04: pilot ‘time/distance’ survey completed• Oct ’04: Rural Access indicator adopted for IDA-14Chal enge is to extend the measure to further countries and to establish routine inclusion in household survey
Rural Access: established Indicator has been adopted by IDA Group: proportion of the rural population within 2 km of an all-season road Lowest income countries: 43% (23 countries – mainly Africa)IDA-eligible countries: 64% (32 countries –incl. above)Middle income countries: 94% (8 countries) Most results are from nationally representative, multi-topic household surveys – this is recommended approach.
Transport in household surveys • Access – basic questions for IDA-14 – ‘time’ / ‘distance’ perceptions and relationships– initial measures in more IDA countries– establish in-country ‘ownership’– link to access to affordable transport service • Transport module – complement LSMS etc – ‘time budget’ data in addition to ‘expenditure’ • Integrated module for infrastructure services

Transport Targets for MDGs MDG Targets MDG 1 Access to inputs and markets, and generation of Eradication of extreme employment opportunities, improved by halving the poverty and hunger proportion of rural population living beyond 2 km of an all-season road The difference in average transport cost between Africa and Asia narrowed down by 50% MDG 2 + 3 Rural access and urban mobility improved to eliminate Univ primary education constraints on the time which all children have to participate in education and to enable effective education to be delivered and & gender equality reached safely MDG 4 + 5 Rural access and urban mobility improved for reliable Child Health and supply of inputs to health facilities, to provide affordable access for all households and to enable cost effective outreach health Maternal Mortality activities Source: Transport and the Millennium Development Goals: Feb 2005
National policy – access • Comprehensive Poverty Reduction and Growth Strategy: – Reduction of rural transport constraints is a key National objective requiring some Provinces to act • Vietnam Living Standards Survey: – Rural Access Indicator can be updated biennially • State grants on the basis of need for Provinces to contribute to CPRGS – Allocations considered on the basis of Poverty Rate, Population and lack of Rural Access

Transport headline indicators Key Indicators being developed to complement ‘Rural Access’ Rural access proportion of the rural population within 2 km of an al -season road Urban mobility Mean time for the journey to work (urban households) Road condition Condition of main road network (% of network in ‘good’ and ‘fair’ condition) Trade logistics Composite index comprising: inventory, transit, customs, handling (time + cost) Modal share Balance between main sub-sectors for: passengers, freight, finance.
Urban Mobility • Time-based: as a more relevant cost• Integrated with other key indicators for urban development • Short-term opportunity to update UN Habitat data set (1998) for ‘duration of journey to work’
Transport headline indicators Key Indicators being developed to complement ‘Rural Access’ Rural access proportion of the rural population within 2 km of an al -season road Urban mobility Mean time for the journey to work (urban households) Road condition Condition of main road network (% of network in ‘good’ and ‘fair’ condition) – IRF compatible. Trade logistics Composite index comprising: inventory, transit, customs, handling (time + cost) Modal share Balance between main sub-sectors for: passengers, freight, finance.
Road Network Condition • Proxy for management of the road network • Somewhat subjective measure but widely used • Related to IRF process for reviving the World Road Statistics
