Qatar - Egis, a global leader in architecture, consulting, construction engineering and mobility services, has announced its collaboration with the Ministry of Transport of Qatar on the development of a transformative Qatar Public Transport Master Plan (QPTMP). Over a period of 30 months, the project will overhaul the nation's transportation landscape as it continues to strike a balance between Qatar's rapid urban growth and its commitment to sustainability. The QPTMP will bypass conventional frameworks, strategically guiding the evolution of the transit system to address challenges associated with escalating vehicular dependency, congestion, and environmental impact. Designed to serve a diverse audience, including policymakers, government officials, developers, investors, consultants, engineers, and planners, the plan will equip those stakeholders with actionable frameworks and guidelines for effective planning, design, implementation, and operation of public transit services. The plan will also encompass prescriptive policies, laws and regulations, accompanied by a robust monitoring program for integrated and comprehensive solutions, Egis said. Dr Muhammad Mustafa, Regional Director – Mobility and Planning, Egis in the Middle East & South Asia, said: 'As global mobility systems evolve in response to urbanization, Qatar stands at the forefront of adaptability, therefore, we are honoured to partner with the Ministry of Transport to craft a transport ecosystem that reflects their vivid ambitions. "By uniting visionary leadership with our comprehensive expertise, we aim to create integrated networks that bridge people, places, and possibilities, whilst serving as the backbone of sustainable growth and societal advancement. Our team's legacy spans the entire lifecycle of transport innovation – from ideation to operational excellence – therefore, we are more than ready to deliver transport infrastructure solutions rooted in precision and scalability.' The QPTMP's ripple effects will have far-reaching societal and environmental benefits, supporting healthier lifestyles, fostering economic vitality, and mitigating the ecological footprint of urban expansion through reducing carbon emissions utilising smarter transit solutions and rubber-stamping Qatar's commitment to sustainability, it said. - TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2024 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.

Ministry of Transport begins developing Qatar Public Transport Master Plan
Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Transport has started developing the Qatar Public Transport Master Plan (QPTMP) aimed at creating a more efficient and competitive public transportation system and striking a balance between Qatars rapid urban growth and its commitment to sustainability, leading ultimately to a more efficient and future-ready public transit system. The ministry said in a statement on Sunday that the QPTMP also aims at improving accessibility and coverage, raising service reliability, and exploring innovative mobility solutions that keep pace with latest advancements. Bypassing conventional frameworks, the QPTMP will strategically guide the evolution of the transit system to address challenges associated with escalating vehicular dependency, congestion, and environmental impact. The QPTMP will study the status quo of traffic congestion of both private vehicles and public transportation and carbon emissions and their impact on Qatars climate quality with a view to suggesting suitable solutions. Leveraging advanced and efficient public transportation solutions, and sustainable and ecofriendly infrastructure is among QPTMPs top priorities through providing advanced electric transportation systems to help lower carbon footprint and, consequently, improve Qatars climate quality in step with the Qatar National Vision 2030s pillar of environmental development, in addition to serving a diverse audience, including policymakers, government officials, developers, investors, consultants, engineers, and planners by equipping those stakeholders with actionable frameworks and guidelines for effective planning, design, implementation, and operation of public transit services. The QPTMP will also encompass prescriptive policies, laws and regulations, accompanied by a robust monitoring program for integrated and comprehensive solutions through harnessing innovation to meet the growing needs for a coherent, advanced, and sustainable national public transportation system. This aligns with the ministrys endeavor to achieve the goals of the National Development Strategy and QNV 2030. The QPTMP is poised to serve as a bedrock of a future where public transportation could significantly contribute to generating economic, social, human, and environmental opportunities, and enhancing resilience and progress for all who live and thrive in Qatar. The QPTMP's ripple effects will have far-reaching societal and environmental benefits, supporting healthier lifestyles, fostering economic vitality, and mitigating the ecological footprint of urban expansion through reducing carbon emissions utilizing smarter transit solutions and rubber-stamping Qatars commitment to sustainability. The ministry believes in the importance of societys participation and pays great attention to fulfilling their aspirations in the QPTMP to provide solutions that meet their needs. For that, the ministry will be conducting public surveys to gather data on peoples mobility preferences and opinions on public transportation modes. The surveys will be conducted from April to August 2025 at metro, tram and bus stations, public markets, and shopping malls. The Ministry of Transport invited the public to cooperate with its survey teams and take a few minutes to answer the survey to ensure the accuracy of the data gathered and help reach a better understanding of peoples needs in this respect. All the data gathered will be treated with full privacy and confidentiality and used exclusively for the purposes of the survey. © Dar Al Sharq Press, Printing and Distribution. All Rights Reserved.
