Abstract/ Overview
The Government of Kenya recognizes transport sector as one of the critical enablers in achieving Vision 2030. An appropriate inttegrated National Transport Policy (TNTP) is the prerequisite towards attaining a world class transport system that is responsive to the needs of the people and the industry. The INTP will enhance Kenya's development in terms of integrating production, marketing and population centres, hence facilitating mobility in rural and urban areas; national and regional integration; trade promotions, improving the overall welfare of the people and Kenya's competitiveness. The Policy Paper, whose theme is "Transport for Prosperity", identifies a number of challenges inhibiting the transport sector from performing optimally its facilitative role in respect of national and regional economies. These challenges will be addressed through integration of transport infrastructure and operations as well as responding to market needs of transport. Other interventions will include the enhancement of rail transport services and quality, consumer protection, catering for consumers with special needs, ensuring fair competition, use and integration of information and communication technologies in transport development and operations.
