At present, the CO₂(carbon dioxide) emission per capita in India is approximately one-fourth of the world’s average CO₂ emission, with the transport sector contributing to about 10% of the total CO₂ emissions (IEA, 2010). In India, the emissions from the transport sector have been growing day by day. Besides CO₂ emissions, the transport sector is also responsible for negative impacts like road congestion, local air pollution, noise and accidents. In urban areas, the share of both public transport and NMT has been decreasing, resulting in increasing negative externalities. So, developing the country towards sustainable transport system like NMT is becomes very much important. Non-Motorized Transport mainly includes walking, cycling, small-wheeled transport and wheelchair travel. These modes provide both recreation and transportation although users may consider a particular trip to serve both objectives. Conventional planning approaches have focused on the movement of vehicles rather than people while a large percentage of trips in Indian cities, falling below 3 to 4 km lengths, are performed by walking and cycling. NMT modes are environmentally friendly modes that promote healthy lifestyles and economic independence. They also contribute to social equity by providing increased accessibility and mobility to all economic classes. Despite this, the importance and safety of pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles (NMVs) in Indian cities has been largely undermined. There is a severe need to realign planning priorities and pay special attention to NMT in transportation planning. In this paper the analysis of selected BRTS nodes has been carried out to know the need of NMT facilities and to provide sustainable mode of transport. In this research Ahmedabad city is selected for the adoption of NMT facilities.
