Download or read book Options for Managing and Financing Rural Transport Infrastructure written by Christina Malmberg Calvo and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper No. 409. In developing and transition economies, 60 to 80 percent of all passenger and freight transport moves by road-the main form of access for most rural communities. Yet most of the 11 million kilometers of roads in these economies are badly maintained and poorly managed. This paper discusses one of the most effective ways to promote sound policies for managing and financing road networks--commercialization. It discusses the emerging central concept of bringing roads into the marketplace, putting them on a fee-for-service basis, and managing them like a business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better transport is essential to Myanmar’s development. After decades of underinvestment, Myanmar’s transport infrastructure lags behind other regional countries. Sixty percent of trunk highways and most of the railways need maintenance or rehabilitation. River infrastructure does not exist, while 20 million people lack basic road access. Can the transport sector deliver upon the master plan’s objectives? What is needed to improve the quality of the infrastructure and services for the industry? How can basic transport services be provided to all? How can Myanmar reduce the economic and social cost of transport? These reports attempt to answer these questions.

Download or read book Management of Rural Road Networks written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural road networks are vital for the development of any country, and particularly so for most developing countries. Rural areas are the home for large numbers of people, the farms which produce crops for consumption and export, and strategic sites such as power stations and border posts. However, rural roads, along with other rural facilities, often receive less than their fair share of spending and many fall into disrepair. Communities become isolated and lose their access to schools, health centres, social support networks and sources of income. At the same time, teachers and medical staff are unable to visit the rural facilities where they do their work. Crops cannot be transported to markets and buying depots and much needed income is lost. Rural poverty grows and livelihoods become unsustainable. To reverse this trend, rural roads must be well managed. Money must be spent efficiently and the needs of the road users - farmers, villagers, traders and government officials - must be met. This is good road management and, if carried out in tandem with other institutional improvements, is likely to secure a fairer proportion of the budget in the following years and bring about sustainable improvement to a road network.

Download or read book Rural Road Maintenance Management System for Low Volume Roads in Trinidad and Tobago written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rural Road Maintenance Management System (RRMMS) discussed in this paper was developed for the Ministry of Agriculture for the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The system was developed by a partnership of consultants headed by Mott MacDonald (UK) and included WT Partnership (Trinidad) and Deighton Associates Limited (Canada)1 . The RRMMS consists of several components: a data collection procedure, a database system, a set of models and an infrastructure management system. This paper will focus on the latter two components and where appropriate will make comments with regard to the first two components. The purpose of the RRMMS is to assist decision makers regarding the maintenance of rural access roads. RRMMS provides valuable information that can be used by decision makers. RRMMS generates this information by examining many different maintenance strategies and optimizing the maintenance expenditure by determining the most economically efficient strategy for each road section in the analysis. This paper will describe the RRMMS development process, explain the models developed and how the unique objective function addresses the specific problem in Trinidad and Tobago and how it could be extended to other similar situations. For the covering abstract of this conference see IRRD number 872978.

Book excerpt: A change in the transport sector's current approach to selecting rural road investments is warranted.
