BENGALURU: While the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) has prepared a BMLTA (Bengaluru Metropolitan Land Transport Authority) bill that will soon be tabled in the assembly, many citizens have urged the government to conduct a public consultation on it. topic.
The proposed BMLTA will be a unified transport body that will integrate several government agencies and offer initiatives such as joint mobility cards and multimodal transport hubs.
“There was no public consultation. Citizens must be consulted on all legislation. Mobility planning is a subset of master planning. The Global Mobility Plan (CMP) cannot be autonomous; it has to be part of the city’s master plan, ”said Sandeep Anirudhan of Citizens’ Agenda for Bengaluru, an NGO.
“Why not post a draft first so everyone can see and comment on it?” Decisions on laws are taken by the political class. They will decide whether it will be made public, etc. There is no elected BBMP and no one knows when that will happen. The decision of the BMLTA is far-reaching. If it is badly done, we are even more doomed, ”said Vinay Sreenivasa, a mobility activist.
DULT bill
The national urban transport policy recommends the formation of a unified metropolitan transport authority. Although a BMLTA committee was formed in 2007, it had no statutory powers. However, the BMLTA Bill seeks to constitute the authority with statutory support to regulate and coordinate urban mobility initiatives in the Bengaluru Metropolitan Area (BMA).
At present, agencies such as the Department of Transportation, BDA, BMRDA, BMTC, Traffic Police, BMRCL and BBMP are responsible for planning, development, implementation and of city management. As multiple institutions and departments are at work, overlapping responsibilities and functions hamper planning and implementation.
According to the bill, the BMLTA will have 21 members with the chief minister as chairman and the development and transport ministers of Bengaluru as vice-chairmen. Other members include the mayor of BBMP and representatives of departments such as urban development, transport, finance, public works, women and children development, police, BBMP, BDA, BMRDA, DTCP, KSPCB, BMRCL and K-RIDE. Commissioner DULT will be the CEO of BMLTA. There will be two special guests from South Western Railway and NHAI. It will also have 10 unofficial members: three experts in urban mobility, corporate governance and finance, two from civil society organizations, three from institutions representing the private sector and professional bodies and two from academic institutions.
A BMLTA fund will be set up for the implementation of the law. The government will also set up a seed fund.
