years developed a good infrastructure. The important cities and other places of interest are well
connected by road (National and State highways) and rail network Different power and irrigation
projects and plantations in the high ranges have facilitated the development of road network in
the Western Ghats of Kerala. Almost all the urban centers in the State are nodal points in road
network. The State is naturally gifted with a series of backwaters parallel to the coast. These
backwaters interconnected by artificial canals provide a unique waterway system. In addition to
this, post and telecommunications is well developed in the state. Now the main challenge is the
upkeep and up gradation.
Of the various modes of transport, Road Transport is vital to economic
development, trade and social up gradation. The National Highway network is of length
1523.954kms. This is only 2.3% of total National Highway of the country. There are 8 National
Highways in the state-NH 47, NH 17, NH 49, NH 47A, NH 208, NH 212, NH 213 and NH 220. .
Kerala has a total road length of 173592 KM. during 2007-08. P.W.D roads constitute about 16%
of the total road network in the State but carries nearly 80% of the road traffic within the State.
KSRTC is the largest single Public sector undertaking, which carries out transport
operations in the state. Road transport acts as the feeder service to the rail, air and Inland water
transport. The vehicle density of the state is very high compared to many other states in India.
The road freight services are wholly owned and operated by the private sector. The Motor vehicle
registration in the State is showing a steady increase in the past few years. The number of Motor
vehicle having valid registration as on 31.3.2008 is 4442387. Wayanad has the lowest number of
vehicles followed by Idukki the highest vehicle population was recorded in Ernakulam district
followed Thiruvananthapuram district.
The tremendous increase in the volume of road traffic in recent years has caused
increase of road accidents. Government of Kerala and police are taken several initiatives to
enforce road discipline and rules and programmes to address the alarming issues of increasing
road accidents by coordinating all stakeholders. In Kerala, almost 60% of the vehicles are two
wheelers, which amounts to nearly 42% of the road accidents reported in the state.
Central agencies like Railways, National Highways, National Waterways, Ports, Post and
Telecommunications and Civil Aviation Authorities play a significant role in providing infrastructure
facilities. The details regarding Transport and communications sector in the state is given in this
chapter.
