• To formulate an Urban Transport Policy to help guide urban transport system development
• To identify institutional weaknesses of DTCB, DCC, RAJUK, DMP and BRTA and to prepare plans for their institutional strengthening and capacity building
• To prepare concept papers for priority projects to be implemented in the first phase (the first five years)
Services provided include:
• Various traffic, socio-economic and environmental surveys and analysis;
• Study of the various multi-modal transports operating in Dhaka City and their comparative/ complementary roles in the overall transport system of the city;
• Identification of weaknesses, physical and institutional, hobbling the city’s transport system;

• Preparation of alternative land use scenarios and population projection
• Preparation of Strategic Transport Plan based on EMME/2 model
• Identification and recommendation of alternative mass transit systems BRT, light railway and metro system in phases, preliminary tariff studies for comparison purposes of the alternatives.
• Identification of institutional weakness of five major agencies in Dhaka City involved in Transport System and recommending their institutional strengthening
