I am calling for greater collaboration within the transportation sector, to find the most efficient and productive model for service delivery. Among the things that we should do, is to accelerate the decarbonisation of the entire transport sector to reduce our carbon footprint and promote efficiency that supports climate change. We must seek to upgrade and modernize our fleet. We should examine our age limit policy and research the practicality of electric vehicles for our sector. I'm also urging investors and sector leaders to conduct research and make submissions to the relevant arms of Government to incentivise clean transport options, including standards and tax relief. Public transportation is more than a social good, which satisfies the need for the moving commuters. It is an interconnected web that facilitates the movement of people, goods, and services for the advancement of the society,” he said, adding that it affects every area of the society and the economy.

Who are we?  We are a private sector group of individuals, corporate investors and operators, our firm position is that we are operating as private sector entrepreneurs, like the supermarket, gas station, market vendors, farmers, manufacturers, banks, insurance companies etc., putting up our own capital, and paying taxes etc., with the expressed goal to make a decent profit and ROI…. If we make a loss that is for our own account.

Free Market Advocates. NTAG does not support the view that the Government should set prices in the sector and that the forces of the free market should prevail, as outlined in the Governments position firmly articulated by the Minister of Finance in his 2022 Budget presentation.

Governments do not expect to make profits from the necessary support for public transportation. An efficient service is important for productivity and other economic benefits that come with moving goods and people. There needs to be a more disciplined approach of how buses are run in urban areas and then those who are served will follow suit. Public transporting should be subsidized. The economic benefits of subsiding will not be direct. The more efficient the public transportation becomes is the more efficient workers become; they reach work on time. They do not have to spend two hours or maybe 30 minutes in traffic

Dr. Lawrence Nicholson The University Of The West Indies

Time and destiny have placed US the stakeholders as leaders at a very important and transformative intersection of the public transportation sector. We now have an opportunity to finally transform the public transportation sector, using technology and our collective efforts. With our collective and unified leadership and support we can do what previous public and private sector leaders in the past have not been able to do…it’s our time to give our Jamaican people what they truly deserve and for US to leave a lasting legacy

We are embracing a new way of issuing licences, which is currently done on an open-and-closed basis. The Authority is looking at how we can start building out something that represents world-class standards, so these changes are necessary. The improvements being made to the transport sector entails more than just having nice-looking buses but also ensuring proper organisation of all modes of public transportation. Whatever we are doing, it should be comparable to what happens in developed countries, so that’s what we are focusing on right now

Willard Hylton

Former Managing Director of the Transport Authority,

Inability To Attract And Retain Talent In The Public Sector. It is generally agreed that public sector compensation is not competitive. Public sector compensation, as currently constructed, hinders the Government’s ability to attract and retain talent in the public sector. Those who serve in the public sector do so mainly out of service to country and you will hear the comments from time to time that they are subsidizing government operations. In this regard, trade unions have been advocating for decades for better wages and conditions for public sector workers

Dr. the Hon. Nigel Clarke

Minister of Finance and the Public Service

If the Transport Sector Plan for Vision 2030 Jamaica is going to ensure the development of world-class transport infrastructure and services that contribute to the competitiveness of our producers and improved quality of life for our people, then it must provide for and facilities an environment for entrepreneurs to invest with a reasonable expectation for a return on their investment
