"The Provincial Government is committed to facilitate the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through provision of basic amenities and services which are financially and environmentally sustainable. The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP), in line with the National Transport Policy 2018 and the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, is cognizant of the social, environmental, and economic costs of growing number of cars, private and public transport use in urban areas/major cities and is therefore striving its best to address the urban mass transit issues. As a first step towards its resolve, the government of KP has established Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Urban Mobility Authority (KPUMA) and has been mandated to plan, establish, and regulate urban mass transit systems in the province. The Authority has already completed and operationalized the BRT system in Peshawar and is planning to initiate such systems in Mingora Swat and Abbottabad and other cities with financial assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB).
A safe and secure transportation system is extremely important for KP economic progress and improvement of quality of life. The mobility challenges posed by rapid urbanization and increase in population can be addressed by connecting people, regions, and communities to one another. KPUMA is making its best efforts to improve road safety, increase public transport coverage provide quality service, and reduce environmental pollution. The Authority has successfully implemented Mass Transit System (BRT) in Peshawar. Over the next five years, it will be ensured that our plans for the transport sector are integrated & sustainable, and that the transportation system is safe and reliable in facilitating trade and movement of people and goods in an efficient way.
I look forward to working closely with stakeholders from across the province to meet the commitments outlined in mandate of the KPUMA and to make strategic investments in transportation system to benefit the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the years to come."
KPUMA has been established to provide state of the art and third generation transport system to facilitate the common masses to commute and to contribute to the economic development and environmental sustainability of the urban centers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The focus of the KPUMA is to plan, establish and operate efficient Mass Transit Systems that is competitive, safe, and accessible to people from all walks of life. The overall plans of the Authority focused on achieving an efficient, effective, and accessible transportation system.
The Authority is committed to investing in transportation infrastructure and delivering high-quality, third generation public transport services for the citizens in the Urban centers of KP. Significant milestones have been achieved through the successful implementation of the Mass Transit System (BRT) Peshawar, which has been pit to operation since August 2020. Moreover, the Authority is striking hard to initiate preparation of Urban Mobility Plans and subsequently construction of appropriate Mass Transit Systems in other cities of KP.
I am confident that the Authority, with support from the Government and International Finance Institutions, will succeed in achieving its objective of transforming the cities of KP into engines of economic growth.
