This policy brief aims to incorporate infants, toddlers and their caregivers’ (ITC) needs in design and planning of urban mobility to enable them to travel anywhere and everywhere in the city with safety and comfort. It has been formed based on the assessment of various existing policies and plans at International, National and Maharashtra State level as well as Pune city’s policies which focus on walkability and transport planning.
It lays out 7 key principles intended to help cities to adopt various measures of safety, accessibility, and inclusivity in street design, promote active transport modes (walking, cycling) and public transport modes (buses, metro, local trains) from the lens of children and families.
ITC-friendly mobility is a lens for cities and not a separate project or task. This will help cities to develop their mobility to be more inclusive to all its users.
This research was undertaken on behalf of the Foundation by World Resources Institute and Parisar in India.
