This report summarizes the activities associated with the FTA Mission to India conducted in September 2007. The mission provided the U.S. delegation with the opportunity to meet with senior Indian transportation officials, and to gain first-hand knowledge of India's current plans for transportation infrastructure improvements. The tour was also designed to identify any lessons learned for the U.S. transit industry, particularly in relation to the implementation and operation of Bus Rapid Transit systems, and to identify opportunities for U.S. transit industry involvement in the development of India's transportation infrastructure. The mission itinerary included visits to Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai, attending a BRT Workshop in Ahmedabad and the India Urban Space Conference in Mumbai. A highlight of the mission was the formal ratification of a 'Memorandum of Cooperation' between the United States Department of Transportation and the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of the Republic of India. The Memorandum is designed to enable the two countries to collaborate in the fields of public transportation, inter-modal transportation, intelligent transportation systems, traffic information, capacity building, and training in public transportation, in addition to other fields of mutual interest.
