Denizli Transportation Master Plan Update Study is designed to restructure the increasing mobility demand of the city on the axes of accessibility, safety, efficiency and low emission in the 2040 vision. The study is based on the strong database of Denizli Metropolitan Municipality instead of a new household survey; model inputs have been updated with the current population, land use, transportation supply and operational performance changes of the city. Thus, the plan presents an investment-operation-governance framework supported by multimodal system integrity and demand management tools instead of a “traffic flow” focused approach.
The implementation set of the plan has been matured through scenario-based assessment, and project packages such as BRT/bus priority corridors and transit quality, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods and 30 km/h speed zones, safe bicycle backbone, dynamic parking management and MaaS integration with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been defined in a framework where the “Sustainability Focused” approach has received strong support from stakeholders. These packages aim to accelerate the transition to public transport, increase the allocation of road space to sustainable modes and institutionalize a data-driven operational approach.
