I-1. TOD Standard v2.0
The TOD Standard v2.0 addresses transit-adjacent developments which maximize the benefits
of public transit in both developed and developing countries. “Transit-oriented development”
(TOD) implies development to support, facilitate, and prioritize the use of public transport,
walking, and cycling. The ITDP publication outlines eight key principles for guiding a non-
technical audience, everyone from developers to interested local residents, through the
successful development of TODs. The TOD Standard elaborates these principles providing
measurable performance objectives. The key principles are measured and rated within the
categories: walk, cycle, connect, transit, mix, densify, compact, and shift.

I-2. The BRT Standard 2013
The BRT Standard was developed to create a common definition of bus rapid transit and
recognize high-quality BRT systems around the world. It also functions as a technical tool to
guide and encourage municipalities to consider the key features of the best BRT systems as they
move through the design process. It certifies the achievement of BRT corridors within the
hierarchy of international best practice. The performance of BRT is measured within 6 accessible
performance categories and 32 subcategories. A BRT system might be awarded up to 100 points
and ranked as gold, silver, bronze, or basic.

I-6. A Framework for Urban Transport Benchmarking
The publication aims to provide policymakers of transitional and developing countries with
comparative information and management tools to continuously seek enhanced performance
for their urban transport services. While the report does not provide measures of
performance improvement, key elements of a benchmarking framework to asses urban
transport are summarized. A major component of this study was to investigate (a) the
availability of data for benchmarking and (b) the value of benchmarking on the basis of
limited data. As a result of 5 pilot studies carried out, 13 indicators were approved to provide
a basic framework for the evaluation of the urban transport performance.

I-11. Toolkit on Fare Collection Systems for Urban
Passenger Transport
For the purposes of this toolkit, an authority is assumed to be the public
entity involved in the strategic planning, investment decision making and
regulatory oversight of public transport in the respective metropolitan area
or city, while the operator is the entity, public or privately held, that
actually delivers the public transport services. The Toolkit is structured in
five progressive layers, and comprises the following sections:
• Fare Collection Framework – covering the strategic issues and
institutional frameworks in the urban passenger transport system that
govern the selection of objectives for the fare collection system;
• Fare Collection Objectives – covering the policy, pricing, and usability
objectives of the fare collection system;
• Fare Collection Practices – covering fare structures, fare products and
concessions, and integration modalities;
• Fare Collection Procedures – covering the various processes used in the
collection and protection of passenger revenues; and
• Fare Collection Technologies – covering the various technologies
employed to enable these fare collection processes.

I-14. Public Transport Capacity Analysis Procedere
for Developing Cities
This manual supplements the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual
with measurable information assembled for cities in developing countries. It is
useful in addressing two basic types of capacity analysis – one assessing the
performance of an existing transit line or system and the other in planning for a
new facility. The World Bank / TRS manual primarily is expected to serves public
transport planning and design practitioners, academics and researchers in
developing countries The specific factors of the transit services that influence
capacity included in this work, irrespective of mode are:
1. Running way capacity including the role of safe separation distance,
signal/control systems and junctions and turnarounds.
2. Platform capacity including allowance for circulation, waiting space, number
size and location of platform ingress/egress channels
3. Facility access elements including doorway and corridor widths, turnstiles
and other barrier gates
4. Fare collection systems including staffed fare booths and ticket vending
machines

II-1. Integrated Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Emissions
Accounting for Companies
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) is used as an accounting tool for government and business leaders to understand, quantify, and
manage greenhouse gas emissions. However, while the GHG Protocol includes six main GHG emissions, it does not take into
consideration main air pollutants. Measuring air pollutants from energy use (particulate matter (PM), SO2, NOx, CO, depending on the
energy type) might as well be important. The accounting tool therefore lays a scope on external combustions units, company-owned
vehicles, stationary internal combustion sources, liquefied petroleum gas use, gas flares, waste, domestic wastewater, and indirect
emissions from purchased electricity.

II-2. Transport Emissions Evaluation Model (TEEMP) Tool
The TEEMP tools are sketch models which enable the estimation of
emissions in both “project” and “no-project” scenarios and can be used for
evaluating short to long term impacts of transport projects. TEEMP
primarily evaluates the impacts of transport projects on CO2 emissions and
to some extent air pollutant emission. The TEEMP tools have been
developed in such a way that required input data are based on what data is
available and easily accessible. Models are available for projects as bus
rapid transit, metro, railways, walkability facility improvement, bike sharing,
bikeways, commuter strategies, and road development.

This paper acknowledges that climate change is seldom the primary driver for
supporting cycling in cities in developing countries. However, the monitoring,
reporting and verifying (MRV) of emission reductions from cycling projects requires
quantifying the number of kilometres cycled and identifying the alternative mode -
the form of transport that would have been used by cyclists had the cycling project
not been implemented. This report identifies benefits of and barriers to cycling,
aimed at supporting policy-makers at city level with their ambition to advance
cycling

Complete Streets is a US design concept which integrates different means of transport
into street design to positively impact safety, health, economies, and environments.
However, due to the lack of superior national planning guidelines in the US there is no
singular design prescription for Complete Streets. Jurisdictions on different levels have
been issuing their unique Complete Streets design guidelines. Now over 488
communities in 27 states have adopted Complete Streets policies. The impact of
Complete Streets has yet not been measured. However, Smart Growth America and The
National Complete Streets Coalition have developed a ranking system to measure and
assess the preliminary policy model in ten categories.
