TRL/World Bank Transportation in Africa Air Africa’s share of global air transport remains modest at about 2.3% of passenger traffic and 1% of freight. Maritime African ports handle only 6% of global traffic and 6 ports (3 each in Egypt and South Africa) handle about 50% of Africa’s container traffic. Rail Only 1% of the global railway passenger traffic and 2% of goods are carried by the African railway network. Road Prevalent mode of transportation in Africa, conveying 80% of the goods traffic and 90% of the passenger traffic on the continent. Cost of transport and insurance represents 30% of the total value of exports in Africa, which compares unfavourably with 8.6% for all developing countries. 4 Situation in Africa Cities lose an average of $7 million daily to traffic congestion Increase in social exclusion from economic activities Major Issues High percentage of transport cost in proportion to total household income Transport sector contributes 25% of the 967.8 million tonnes of CO2 emitted in Africa 5 Transportation challenges in African Cities Cairo, Egypt • • • • • Ghana Nairobi, Kenya • • • • • • • • 6 Poor public transport system Institutional weakness and fragmentation Inadequate financial arrangements High accident rate: 1000 fatalities and 4000 injuries per year Air and noise pollution Poor planning and control procedures for landuse development Low capacity of the existing road network Inadequate funding Poor terminal organisation and management The use of small vehicles for public transportation contributes significantly to congestion on the roads Low standards of road traffic awareness, vehicle maintenance and driver behaviour, which contributes to high accident rates Poor maintenance of vehicles which results in excessive emissions • • • • • • Inadequate integration of city development plan & the transportation network system Inadequate public transport system High cost of transportation Long commuter distance and travel time Inadequate development of nonmotorised infrastructure network Poor safety and high incidence of motor traffic accidents Increased pollution and deterioration of the urban environment. Lagos, Nigeria Transport Challenges Inadequate transport infrastructure Uneven urban growth and development inadequate regulatory public transport framework Chronic traffic congestion Contributes to Air & Noise pollution in Lagos 7 Limited alternatives to vehicular transportation Lack of sufficient high capacity vehicles for public transport Accra, Ghana Observed travel demand patterns • • • Over 95% of all transit in Ghana are done by road. Trotros (Minibuses), with a capacity of 12-22 passengers, are responsible for over 50% of transit in Accra and utilise only a quarter of the road space; While Cars, with a capacity ratio of only 1.5 people, carry only 14% of the passengers in Accra and occupies the highest share of the road space at 33%.
