Abstract

The paper identifies the major problems faced by transport operators in Uganda and analyses their impact on vehicle operating costs. It also examines transport regulations and the current organisation of transport services and their impact on vehicle utilisation. The key areas highlighted for concern include anti-competitive practices by the associations that control service provision and absence of transport planning and regulation. Finally, recommendations to improve vehicle operations are made. These range from long term policy, institutional reforms (including legislative changes, vehicle import regulation, and setting up of a transport regulator body and Private Public Partnership arrangements) to shorter term initiatives addressing issues such as vehicle financing, driver training and safety. For the covering abstract see ITRD E116619.
