The scope of this thesis ranges from a focused analysis upon daily commuter behavior of students and employees in and around the city, to the macroeconomic contributions to, and impacts upon, the nation made by the transport sector. These elements are accompanied by a sectoral analysis of land transport stakeholders at an institutional level, supplemented by perceptions of transport stakeholders and professionals through their opinions on various land transport issues. These contributions are coupled with an exploration of opportunities for incentives to improve performance and efficiency of land transport in Fiji
This paper reviews the Framework for Action on Transport Services (FATS) since its endorsement in 2011 by the Pacific Transport Ministers. National surveys reveal that value has been added to the National Transport Sector, however Regional Surveys reveal a high-level of disengagement amongst the CROP Agencies. The review provides a number of recommendations to improve CROP agency alignment such as an improved financial tracking of expenses, and improving links with the Pacific Regional Infrastructure Facility.
Guided by ADB’s Strategy 2030 and Pacific Approach, operations in the Pacific transport sector seek to (i) prepare for and respond to shocks, (ii) deliver sustainable services, and (iii) support inclusive growth inall of the Pacific DMCs. The region’s unique geography, sociopolitical structures, and economic context require a specialized approach to designing and implementing projects. ADB’s operations in the Pacifictransport sector build on 5 decades of experience supporting unique regional circumstances.
