Transport Data and Indicators in Asia Regional Perspective Alvin Mejia Transport Program Manager Clean Air Asia Regional Scoping Workshop on Sustainable Transport Indicators Mandarin Oriental Hotel Jakarta, Indonesia 16 August 2016
About clean air asia Clean Air Asia was established in 2001 as the premier air quality network for Asia by the Asian Development Bank, World Bank, and USAID. Our mission is to promote better air quality and livable cities by translating knowledge to policies and actions that reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from transport, energy and other sectors. Since 2007, Clean Air Asia is a UN recognized partnership of almost 250 organizations in Asia and worldwide with 6 Country Networks (Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam). Clean Air Asia is a registered non-stock non-profit organization headquartered in Manila, Philippines, and with offices in Beijing, China and Delhi, India. Clean Air Asia is governed by its articles of incorporation, by-laws and operations manual approved by its Board of Trustees.
Sustainable transport data and indicators are often not sustained.
KEY CHALLENGES : OBSERVATIONS Availability of accessible data for key parameters Light-shaded cells indicate data collected from international data sets Dark-shaded cells indicate accomplished data templates based on country statistics Black cells indicate data collection from both international data sets and country statistics
KEY CHALLENGES : OBSERVATIONS Lack of collected data for key parameters E.g. non-motorized transport Entangled with priorities Limited by resources Light-shaded cells indicate data collected from international data sets Dark-shaded cells indicate accomplished data templates based on country statistics Black cells indicate data collection from both international data sets and country statistics
KEY CHALLENGES : OBSERVATIONS Lack of standardized definitions Light Motor Vehicles Jeep/Station Wagon/Microbus Motor car,jeep,station wagon Car Private car Car/taxicab Pickup Passenger car Sedan (Not more than 7 Pass.) Utility vehicle Jeeps Car and taxi Delivery van Covered van Goods vehicles Rental and hire cars Taxi Urban taxi Interprovincial taxi Fixed route taxi Hotel taxi Tour taxi Car for hire Bus/minibus Bus Minibus Microbus Fixed route bus Non-fixed route bus Private bus Small rural bus Microbus & Passenger Van Motorcycle Two wheeler Two and three-wheeler Three wheeler Autorickshaw/autotempo Tempo Motortricycle Motortricycle Taxi (Tuk Tuk) Passenger Truck Trailer semitrailer Autotrucks Tractor Goods vehicle Tanker truck Crane, dozer, excavator, truck Tractor/Power Trailer Automobile trailer Non-fixed route truck Private truck Lorries Goods Special purpose Other Four wheeled Miscellaneous Passenger automobile Carrier Other vehicles
KEY CHALLENGES : OBSERVATIONS Lack of access to disaggregated data GENERATED DATA OpenlyAccessible data Practical dimension formats Limitations based on policies Not a question of whether data is lost to refinement Question of cost? But opening data enables others to participate, lowering
KEY CHALLENGES : OBSERVATIONS Issues related to governance Local National Regional Global Different appreciations, needs and usage of data among different governance levels Capacity to use data Identification and prioritization of data Understanding of the ideal flow of data from the appropriate generators to users Coordination among relevant organizations
SHIFTING THE DATA CURVE Data generation Users and usage Information technology Global and regional reporting requirements National level policies/ enabling platforms Partnerships Access
TECHNOLOGY GLOBAL/ REGIONAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS NATIONAL ENABLING POLICIES/ PLATFORMS Maximize the use of technology to generate, refine, make data accessible? Role of big data Using the data to better serve the users Align data collection and generation efforts with global and regional reporting requirements Focus on core data for the indicators Standardization and guidance setting Being clear about the needs à serving national interests Open data initiatives Incentives for providers Maximize use of existing data PARTNERSHIPS Sensitization and capacity building Maximizing contributions from different types of organizations
Transport Data Better Transport Data in Asia Project To support the operationalization of the ADB Sustainable Transport Initiative Operational Plan Transport database Transport models Knowledge products
40 developing member countries 14 focus countries Socio-economic Transport activity Transport structure Emissions and energy Road safety Urban transport Workforce Infrastructure DATA CONTRIBUTIONS ARE MUCH WELCOME AND NEEDED!
SAMPLE sda No longer a discussion on the value of data Discussion of what is valuable to the entities, what is missing? Agreement on common indicator sets and definitions Sharing of methods and best practices Making data more accessible is not costly, but generates savings by enabling participation in the transformation of data into useful information
