Urban Transport and Roads. Comprehensive Traffic Management Plans prepared for all Investment Program ULBs; • Identified major entry and exit roads resurfaced in the Investment Program ULBs to decongest the city/town centers; and • Identified transport infrastructure - Road Over Bridge (RoB)s or Road Under Bridge (RuB)s built in Alwar, Xxxxx and Xxxxxx, Bharatpur, Bundi, Chittorgarh, Churu, Nagaur, Sawai Madhopur, and Sikar - completed in the Investment Program ULBs. Assumptions (A) (A) Public awareness campaign will be effective to encourage household for waste segregation and payment of service fees. (A) Poor will connect and afford the connection and the service. (A)Environmental regulations for acceptable practices implemented. (A) Resettlement and environmental clearance completed in a timely manner. (A) Adequate funds for provided for operation and maintenance. Risks (R) (R)Households not willing to pay for the services.
