• Passenger Traffic 4.25 to 7.94.
• Freight Traffic 4.07 to 9.30
• Pertains to only roads and railways.

Shift in the Modal Shares
10
Indicators

• Each of the Sub Sectors established and
  maintained performance indicators suitable to it.
• There is no uniformity in the indicators
  (parameters).
• No Centralized agency to maintain the indicator
  data of all the Sub Systems for use by different
  organizations.

11
Performance Indicators in Road Transport

• For Highways, Urban Roads, Project Roads and
  Rural Roads the information collected and
  maintained include
• Total Length in kms.
• Length of Surfaced and Unsurfaced Roads.
• Length of Surfaced Roads by its category such as
  WBM, BT, CC etc.
• Above information is collected and maintained
  State wise (including Union Territories), by
  organization wise such as MoRTH, State PWDs,
  Municipalities, UDAs, Project Roads by
  organization etc.
• Road accident statistics including fatality and
  injuries.

12
Performance Indicators in Railways

• Total Track Kms.
• Route Kms by type of traction.
• Traffic in terms of Passenger Kms and Tonne Kms.
• Wagon and track utilization operating ratios.
• Ratio of net revenue to capital at-charge and
  investment from capital fund.
• Statistics on safety.

13
Airways

• Available tonne kms.
• Revenue tonne kms.
• Overall load factor.
• Available seat kms.
• Revenue passenger kms.
• Passenger load factor.

14
Performance Indicators in Ports

• Average turnaround time.
• Pre - berth waiting time.
• Total tonnage handled Inbound and Outbound.

15
Summary of the Present System

• In addition to normal accountancy indices of
  expenditure and revenue, each sub sector has
  identified basic indicators on both physical
  entities and performance parameters.
• The parameters defer in sub sectors based on the
  type of operations involved.
• The indicators are assessed in isolation with no
  coordination or impact of other sub systems.
• Key indicators applicable for Planning are not
  being maintained.
• Indicators that reflect impact of transport on
  the society are not being brought out.
