Transport is the lifeline of every economy, and in Ghana, it plays a crucial role in connecting people to opportunities, goods to markets, and regions to national development. However, the sector faces persistent challenges such as poor road networks, urban congestion, unsafe transport practices, and lack of efficient logistics systems. The CITEG Transport Department was established to provide solutions to these issues and to advocate for a safer, more reliable, and inclusive transport system.

The department focuses on three key areas: safety, accessibility, and efficiency. On safety, it engages with transport unions, drivers, and communities to promote responsible road practices, reduce accidents, and encourage compliance with traffic regulations. On accessibility, it advocates for affordable and inclusive transportation systems that benefit not only urban dwellers but also rural populations who are often cut off from economic opportunities due to poor infrastructure.

Efficiency is addressed through research and advocacy for better transport policies, infrastructure development, and logistics management. The department also explores partnerships with government agencies and private actors to modernize Ghana’s transport sector through technology and innovation.

A key program of the department is community transport education, where drivers, passengers, and pedestrians are educated about road safety, vehicle maintenance, and responsible behavior. This grassroots approach ensures that transport is not only about moving people and goods but also about protecting lives.

Ultimately, the CITEG Transport Department envisions a Ghana where transport is safe, efficient, and supports inclusive economic growth. By serving as both an advocate and a solutions provider, the department contributes to building a more connected and prosperous nation.
