Government of India has initiated the Sustainable Urban Transport Project (SUTP) with support from Global Environment Facility (GEF), World Bank and UNDP. The primary objective of SUTP is to facilitate urban transport infrastructure in a sustainable environment and under the ambit of National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP). Component 1A of GEF‐SUTP project aims at capacity building amongst practitioners in the field of sustainable urban transport. The objective of the initiative is to create an enabling institutional framework for sustainable urban transport in India. This is to be accomplished by enhancing the capacity of policymakers, planners, researchers, executive agencies, service providers, managers and other professionals involved in urban transport to plan, implement, operate and manage sustainable urban transport.
