In a bid to improve multimodal integration to and from the metro, the Transport Department, Government of NCT, Delhi, and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), in association with Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF) and World Resources Institute India (WRI India), today launched the Delhi edition of the Station Access and Mobility Program (STAMP).
STAMP in Delhi will aim to target three focus areas; first, it intends to create a mobility-as-a-service platform that will allow commuters to plan their public transport journey, across different transit modes, on a single interface.
Secondly, STAMP is leveraging existing last-mile services, such as shared mobility, autos, and e-rickshaws, to provide more efficient on-demand services to commuters.
A press release from the Transport Department, Government of NCT, Delhi noted that the interface will provide crucial information to drivers in underserved areas and times of high demand, allowing them to provide better last-mile services to commuters.
Finally, STAMP is looking to partner with upcoming last-mile operators with innovative form factors to improve metro connectivity, particularly in areas with limited access to e-rickshaws and shared transport.
The release added that the solutions arising from the STAMP Challenge will benefit stakeholders across the board, from commuters and last-mile operators to transit agencies.
Vikas Kumar, Managing Director, DMRC, said, “Through the STAMP Challenge, DMRC is working to build smart and safe mobility solutions for commuters and our last-mile partners. STAMP’s work across India can aid in improving connectivity to the Delhi Metro and will be invaluable as we continue to create seamless mobility for the city.'
Pras Ganesh, Executive Programme Director, Asia Region, Toyota Mobility Foundation, noted that STAMP has worked hard to understand the mobility landscape of each city through a collaborative approach that caters to a need for greener last-mile connectivity to the Metro.
STAMP Delhi is the culmination of our efforts to advance the adoption of mass transit through innovation and cooperation.
Notably, STAMP Delhi is the seventh edition of the programme. It was initiated by TMF and WRI India in December 2016 to facilitate high-quality last-mile connectivity solutions across Indian cities.
The main objective of the initiative is to make mass transit more seamless and unified for Delhi’s metro commuters with a focus on decongesting the capital’s roads.
