Environmental Impact Assessment

Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit Development Project

Projects Details

The Dhaka Metropolitan Area (DMA) has a population of 9.3 million in 2011. Currently, urban transportation in the DMA relies mostly on road transport, where car, bus, auto-rickshaw, rickshaw, etc. coexist. This creates serious traffic congestion in addition to health hazards caused by traffic pollution including air pollution. With the rapid national economic growth, the urban population is expected to increase and so will the number of privately owned automobiles. Therefore, improving the urban (public) transportation system in the DMA has become a critical issue to ease traffic congestion and arrest environmental deterioration. With this situation, the government of Bangladesh (GOB) formulated the “Strategic Transport Plan for Dhaka”.
