Abstract

Non-motorized travel is a type of performance transportation that relies on human force to move people rather than energy sources. It entails walking, cycling, and alternatives such as using handcarts or scooters. In the transportation system, Non-motorized travel plays a crucial and unique role; it provides basic mobility, physical fitness, cheaper transportation, and access to motorized modes. In Kisumu, despite rising pedestrian accidents, many investments by the county and the national government in transport are being directed toward motorized transportation to accommodate the city's growing number of vehicles. Although non-motorized modes are the most basic mode of transportation, upgrading their structure has been neglected. This research examined beneficiary feedback approaches' influence on implementing a non-motorized urban transportation project in Kisumu City. The formal beneficiary feedback components analysed by this study included the planning and designing methods used, the collection of data, the formulation of findings, the dissemination of the reports, and how they influenced the implementation of the non-motorized travel in Kisumu.
