Bengaluru, World's Second Most Congested City, to Get New Mobility Plan

• Bengaluru, ranked the world’s second most congested city, is set to receive a new Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP).
• The Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) has invited bids for a consultant to revise the CMP for the Bengaluru Metropolitan Region.
• The existing CMP, based on 2014-15 data, needs revision due to rapid urban expansion and significant transport infrastructure additions.
• Metro expansion, new policy frameworks like Parking Policy 2.0 and TOD Policy, and major road projects necessitate the CMP update.
• The revised CMP will serve as a long-term roadmap for the next 20-30 years, integrating land-use and transport planning to manage growth and reduce congestion.

Why It Matters: Bengaluru is updating its mobility plan to tackle severe congestion and integrate new infrastructure and policies.
