Consultancy Services Assessment of Needs of Disadvantaged Groups in Accessing Public Transport Services on Mile 12 to Ikorodu Town BRT Corridor
The goal of this study is to assess the needs of disadvantaged groups i.e. women, the elderly, children and the physically challenged residing or carrying out business activities along Mile 12 to Ikorodu town BRT corridor and the role that transport plays in their lives. In all cities people make tradeoffs between where they live, where they work and the cost of travel. To help understand these tradeoffs and how welfare could be improved through better public transit a household survey will gather data on earnings, housing costs, where people live and work and how they travel. It will also obtain information on vehicle ownership, on the cost and accessibility of various forms of transport, and on perceptions of the quality of transport services.
The objectives are specified in details as follows:
a) To examine the travel behaviour of people in a proposed BRT corridor with special focus on disadvantaged groups;
b) To identify and quantify specific transport constraints laced by these groups of persons in their performance of day – to – day activities and
c) To examine social and economic dimensions of these social group whilst accessing transport infrastructure and services in Lagos
The study will particularly focus on the challenges faced by women, children, elderly and disabled members of the society whilst trying to access public transport facilities in the proposed BRT corridor. It is expected that the study will be replicated on a periodic basis to examine before and after impacts of the proposed investments.
