How is this Guide designed to be used?
Part I is primarily written for top government decision-makers and representatives of civil
society and development organizations who are tasked with defining strategies for the future
development of Pacific cities. It provides an overview of the context of rising urbanization and car
ownership in Pacific cities and the social, health, economic, and environmental benefits of providing
a balance of safe and convenient urban transportation choices that includes walking, bicycling,
micro-mobility, and bus transit. Drawing on lessons from cities around the world, Part I provides a
menu of island-appropriate strategies and interventions to help decision-makers develop sustainable,
affordable, and accessible urban transportation, as well as guidance for how to formulate strategies
for implementation. Notably, most of the population of Pacific cities lives less than three kilometers
a short bus or bicycle ride from the city center, meaning that cars are far from a necessity for most
residents of Pacific cities.

Part II is written for working-level technical practitioners who seeking to understand and
implement strategies developed under Part I. It provides detailed technical data, reference
information, and guidance for implementation of the strategies. Individual chapters of Part II are
designed to be read from front to back to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the issues
affecting successful implementation of the strategies.
