The workshop mainly proposed to set up an IT-enabled transportation monitoring and control system with seamless interchange between various modes of transport and single ticketing.
It proposed rationalising the transportation network, particularly bus and waterways network, establishing quality-monitoring standards for various transport operators in Kochi, and a programme for improving and repairing and maintaining avenues for promoting foot-travel and other forms of non-motorised transport like cycles.
The plan would be submitted to the government for approval, with the intention of having the UMTA system in place in Kochi in three years.
