CAI-Asia has launched the SUMA project as a follow up to PSUTA. The new project will run from January 2006 to December 2008. SUMA will assist Asian cities and countries in accelerating progress towards their air pollution reduction and sustainable urban transport goals and activities by better integrating air quality management policies with sustainable urban transport (SUT). With funding of over US$5 million, SUMA will enable CAI-Asia to become a grant-maker, and exert a positive influence in policy development for SUT at the local, national and regional levels.

The Final Report of the Partnership for Sustainable Urban Transport in Asia (PSUTA) project reviewed existing experiences and capacities on sustainable transport in Asia, drew up a set of key indicators for three cities in Asia, and developed a strategic framework that cities throughout the region can use to develop medium-term sustainable transport strategies. Funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), in cooperation with EMBARQ of the World Resources Institute, PSUTA was an important part of CAI-Asia's Business Plan. The project ran from March 2004 to December 2005. Read more >>

The concept of sustainable transport indicators is relatively new to many policy and decision makers in developing countries, where indicators are rarely used when deriving policies and regulations. The identification of indicators is simply the first step towards sustainable transport development, as the integration of indicators in policy making processes is just as crucial. In order to illustrate why, where, and how to use indicators as a sustainable transport policy tool, a PSUTA indicator manual has been developed. Read more >>
