Foreword
Iskandar Malaysia is a National Project to develop a vibrant new region at the southern gateway of
Peninsular Malaysia. A regional authority body called Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA)
was developed to coordinate the main roles of planning, promoting and facilitating. In fact, IRDA has
commissioned this Transportation Blueprint for Iskandar Malaysia to assist the public and private sector
with the community to work together in developing a world class transportation system within
Iskandar Malaysia, in order to make it as a place to invest, work, live and play.
Transport Masterplan for 2010- 2030 has been prepared to assist the public and private sector and the
community to work together in managing the transportation concerns within the Iskandar Malaysia
region do that the benefit in making the region a best place to invest, work and play.
The first focus will be on Public transportation. In Iskandar Malaysia, public transportation is planned to
be integrated to comprehensively serve the need of public in general, and the use of private vehicles will
be made more efficient through equitable measures and use of resources that affords everyone to get
where they want easier and faster
By 2030, Iskandar Malaysias population is expected to double from 1.5 million today to about 3
million. There will be massive changes to the Iskandar Malaysias landscape in 15 years, so there is an
urgent need to properly plan now so that we are ready to meet the challenges to our transportation
needs as Iskandar Malaysia develops. Thus we have to come up with better and more efficient ways to
enhance the public transportation and its connectivity. And with plans and programmes are developed
to ensure people have the available transport to move one place to another in convenience and with
proper timing.
Iskandar Malaysia must also play a significant role in the global arena to relate ourselves to global
transportation. In tandem with Iskandar Malaysias vision to be a Sustainable Metropolis of
International Standing and we have a duty to play this role in shaping and developing our region so
that we develop it sensibly and sustainably. Iskandar Malaysia can be fully developed into a metropolis
and still be a low carbon society by taking heed of the green transportation operating in a lively city.
The preparation of this Transportation Masterplan blueprint is therefore timely and critically needed to
address the public transportation issues, connectivity between one place to another and put some
concerns on the environment as well. This blueprint has incorporated a set of eleven (11) main
transportation initiatives that is critically address and tackle the regions transportation issues as
Iskandar Malaysia develops.
To facilitate the implementation, the blueprint outlines a set of new coordinating structure to manage
new partnerships expected to come from public agencies and private organisations working together
on more complex programmes of Transportation Masterplan in Iskandar Malaysia. Consequently, we
look forward to a metropolis that is well connected with reliable public transportation and other modes
of transportation in order to invest, live, work and play within a Metropolis of an International
Standard.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Iskandar Malaysia aims to be a strong sustainable metropolis of international standing. To achieve this
vision, Iskandar Malaysia requires world class and sustainable transportation system.
Iskandar Malaysia Development Authority (IRDA) prepared the Iskandar Malaysia Transportation
blueprint which has been endorsed by the Government.
This booklet is the public version of Iskandar Malaysia transportation blueprint and consist of three
chapters:
Urban Transportation
Freight Transportation
Green Transportation
The urban transportation blueprint encapsulate the transformation of public and private
transportation within Iskandar Malaysia region from 2010 to 2030. The main agenda is to resolve
current issues and mitigate future challenges by way of a two-pronged strategy of push and pull in
terms of improving the public transportation as the pull factor and regulating the private
transportation as the push factor.
The freight transportation blueprint aims to take advantage of Iskandar Malaysia strategic location in
accordance to the global trade and transshipment. The strategy is basically to improve the regions
logistics and supply chain capacity and prepare the region to be ready for global competitions.
The green transportation blueprint aims to bring global visibility for the region and make the region
livable for the future generations. Green transportation is key to obtain environmental sustainability.
Smart development of both transit and land use widely known as Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
enables the policy makers to plan for future development in a more sustainable manner. Benefiting
from adaptation of the advanced green technology both in the engines and alternative fuels is another
means towards low carbon region.

URBAN TRANSPORTATION
Demand Responsive Mobility and Accessibility by way of
an integrated multi-modal public transport system with
priority for people not cars
Economic Growth
Higher than The National Economic Model which
to achieve a Gross National Income of at least USD
17,000 per capita nationwide by 2020.
Public Transport Modal Split
Public transport modal split decline from 15%
to 10% by 2030.
Rapid economic and land use growth increase the needs for
livable living and workplace. Without control, land use
development will continue sprawling over 68% urban area in
Iskandar Malaysia. Unregulated public transportation services
will reduce their efficiency and lead to high dependency on private
car. Auto-ownership is expected to grow from 500 cars/1,000
population (now) to more than 800 by 2025. Projected person trips will
increase to 6.9mil (@ 2.3 trip/person). Private person trip is projected at 4.65 mil with 3.1mil cars @ 1.5
car occupancy rate. Major roads to all 5 flagships of Iskandar Malaysia will be flooded with cars and
over capacity during peak hour.
Another 1,864 km of road infrastructure need to be build for
the next 20 years (2.5 times investment as compared to
current road infrastructure) if nothing is done.
Open the door people are walking and cycling on the well-connected cycle/pedestrian
path to the nearest stop to take the transit service on time!
DESIRED FUTURE
The desired future encapsulate both public and private transportation modes. Public transportation in
Iskandar Malaysia will be integrated to comprehensively serve the need of Iskandar Malaysia in order
to increase the share of public transportation. Actions will be taken to make the use of private vehicles
more efficient through equitable measures and use of resources that leads to reducing transport
demand.
Strategies
In order to reach the desired future, strategies are formulated and shall put into action through
identified projects.
The strategies for public transportation in
Iskandar Malaysia are:
service provided
Ensure transit patronage preference policy
over car use.
INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
To ensure effective implementation of action plans, IRDA has initiated the establishment of the
required institutional framework such as Iskandar Malaysia Transport Council (IMTC), Perbadanan
Pengangkutan Awam Iskandar Malaysia (PAIM) and Pasukan Pengangkutan Persendirian Iskandar
Malaysia (PPIM) to spearhead the implementations of projects based on the approved plan and
subsequently coordinate and enhance public and private transportation systems in Iskandar Malaysia.
PAIM Policies and Planning Measures
In order to cater for the second and third strategies, PAIM will create policies that encapsulate the
future demands for urban transportation with urban development. This otherwise known as Transit
Oriented Development (TOD) enables the town planners and policy makers to align the transportation
means with the actual needs and demands of the urban areas.
City sprawling is a disease of modern cities, this makes the movement within the city troublesome,
adding to the number of trips required to fulfill the daily life needs. Policies towards more compact and
dense cities are required to achieve to a more livable urban environments. Furthermore, the plans and
policies towards smarter cities and transportation will enable smoother mobility for the city
inhabitants .
TRANS-ISKANDAR
Trans-Iskandar, the implementing arm of PAIMs public transportation projects and suggest policies to
enhance the public transportation system in Iskandar Malaysia.
Projects
Descriptions
JB Grand Sentral is the most important transport hub, integrated with JB Sentral,
Pasir Gudang Sentral, Nusajaya Sentral and Senai Sentral and Gateway terminals
in Larkin, Ulu Tiram, Senai Airport, Kulaijaya, Pekan Nanas and Tg Kupang through
transport networks.
The Iskandar Malaysia Bus Rapid Transit system consist of 10 lines and nearly 250
stations and stops, covering 90% of transportation needs for the region. Initial
phase of BRT will link downtown Johor Bahru with Skudai, Johor Jaya and
Nusajaya, where commuting gridlocks frequently occur.
Projects
Descriptions
Residential feeder bus services will allow short local transit journeys from
neighbourhoods to the nearest transit stations and suburban activity centers.
Suburban Feeders and Transit Desa
Transit Desa will serve rural regions outlying around the borders of Iskandar
Malaysia.
Iskandar Malaysias Komuter train system will make the full use of the present
KTM rail infrastructure to connect Nusajaya, Kulaijaya, Johor Bahru and Pasir
Gudang together, via the JB Grand Sentral public transportation hub at Kempas.
Water taxis will operate from ferry terminals at Danga Bay, Stulang and Puteri
Harbour for trips along the Tebrau straits and for escapades to Kongkong and
Ramsar via Kukup and Tanjung Belungkor ferry terminals. River cruise tours will be
offered in the environmentally preserved areas of Kongkong and Ramsar, where no
other modes of transport will be allowed.
School bus zones will be established at eight different zones within Iskandar
Malaysia and with the zoning system, school bus operators are assigned to serve
students and schools in accordance to specific zones.
TRAFIK-ISKANDAR
Policies and plans will be put in place to manage the private transportation and several key projects have
been identified for implementation as follows:
Projects
Descriptions
The hierarchy of the Road and highway network in Iskandar Malaysia will be
rationalized to ensure smooth travel for all vehicles. The higher the speed limit for
a given road is, the lesser the access it has to surrounding places, and the lower the
speed limit for a given road is, the higher the access it has to surrounding places.
As the public mode remains a greater priority, car parks will be built more at
origins, rather than destinations. Large park and ride facilities will be built adjacent
Parking Management and Park-and
to BRT and Komuter stations with sparser and lower density surrounding s. Parking
-ride
spaces for cars and motorbikes, and bike racks for cyclists will be located at bus
stops frequented by local feeder buses.
Mobility Management
By 2030, Iskandar Malaysia aims that more than half of the commuting trips will
be made via public transport (60% transit modal share) with the implementation
of Transportation Demand Management (TDM). Iskandar Malaysias Mobility
Centers will be set up to coordinate all transportation infrastructure and support
systems in the region to facilitate the movement of people instead of private
vehicles.
Urban areas will be classified as traffic restraint zones, where entering motorists
will have to pay a fair amount of fee that will be continually adjusted to ensure
Traffic Restraints and Road Pricing
those who choose to drive can run their errands stress-free. Greater enforcements
and restrictions will ensure motorcyclists do not eat up pedestrian spaces
Pedestrianization
The livelihood and livability of the residential areas are improved through
pedestrian-friendly suburban road layout that allow greater pedestrian
accessibility, connectivity and convenience.

Projects
Terminals & Ports
Descriptions
The Iskandar Malaysia region comprises of 4 major logistics and transportation
hubs Senai International Airport, Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Tanjung Langsat Port
and Pasir Gudang Port. The planned highway development connecting the airport
and the ports will strengthen and support the growth of each individual facility.
Truck Routes
To overcome the issue of traffic mismatch (between heavy and light vehicles) and
public road safety, designated truck routes / corridors are needed to connect
major terminals and logistic hubs.
Free Trade Zones (FTZ) will be developed as part of the economic development
plan. Normal trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas are eliminated
and bureaucratic requirements are lowered in hopes of attracting foreign
investments. 3 new FTZ namely Nusajaya FTZ (2015), Seelong FTZ (2025), and Ulu
Tiram FTZ (2025) will be developed in line with Iskandar Malaysias goal to
contribute to the countrys economy.
Four Integrated Logistic Centers (ILC) will be developed to compliment the ports
and FTZs in Iskandar Malaysia, they are Nusajaya ILC (2015), Kota Masai ILC
(2015), Seelong ILC (2025 and Ulu Tiram ILC (2025).
E-Logistics
Practicality should be given a priority at all levels within the logistics process, in
line with Logistik-Iskandars goal to enhance goods and services linkages and
movement with priority to rail modes and leveraging on ICT.
15
Projects
Descriptions
In line with the objective to improve trade efficiency and enhance logistics
Multimodalism & Containerization systems, a multimodal transportation network will be further developed. About
RM2.7 billion will be invested to build roads and rail leading to key ports and
airports while logistics manag ement will be improved to enhance efficiency of
cargo transportation through rail, ports and airports
A strategic supply chain is the backbone of an efficient logistics plan. Supply Chain
Management (SCM) Iskandar is vision to be an organization that will developed
supply chain practices within the region and produce world class professionals in
the field. SCM Iskandar is supported by Iskandar Malaysias e-Logistics, truck
routes, logistic parks, industrial parks and freight networks
Urban freight transport and logistic operations involved the activities of delivering
and collecting goods in town and city centers. These activities are often referred to
as city logistics as it covers the process of transportation, handling and storage of
goods, the manag ement of inventory, waste and returns as well as home delivery
services.

GREEN-ISKANDAR
Green-Iskandar is the implementing arm of the PHIM, to undertake projects and action plans to achieve
sustainability. The following are key actions that will be carried out by Green Iskandar:
Smart Growth :
Toward sustainable land use development
The Smart Growth concept of land use development is
the desirable measure to sustain population and
employment growth in Iskandar Malaysia. Resources
need to be utilized in balance and profitable manner
to benefit the community. Towards implementing the
Smart Growth land use
development, new
development approaches such as Compact City, Green
City and Intelligent City can be grouped in one
concept: Transit Oriented Development (TOD). Transit
corridors along major BRT lines were designed to
accommodate nearly 90% coverage of urban land use
in Iskandar Malaysia.
