MONROVIA – The National Civil Society Union of Liberia (NACSUL) has expressed strong satisfaction with the operational capacity, technological systems, and service delivery infrastructure of Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LTMI) following a comprehensive inspection tour of its facilities, conducted amid ongoing national discussions over the company’s concession agreement with the Government of Liberia.
The day-long assessment brought together key stakeholders, including representatives from the Liberian Senate, NACSUL, the Ministry of Transport, and the National Bureau of Concessions. The delegation was led by Senator Prince K. Moye, who stated that the visit was intended to provide stakeholders with a firsthand understanding of LTMI’s operations, investments, and its role in supporting Liberia’s transport management system.
During the inspection, the delegation toured several critical operational units, including vehicle registration services, driver’s licensing divisions, traffic monitoring systems, and data management centers. Participants also observed the technological platforms and innovations being deployed to enhance efficiency, improve service delivery, and modernize traffic management nationwide.
Officials of LTMI delivered detailed presentations outlining the company’s digital systems and operational frameworks, emphasizing ongoing efforts to strengthen transparency, reduce service bottlenecks, and improve overall transport administration in Liberia.
Speaking to reporters after the tour, Senator Moye described the facility as “impressive,” citing its level of organization, modern infrastructure, and advanced technological capacity. He noted that the visit provided lawmakers and stakeholders with an opportunity to independently assess the company’s performance based on direct observation rather than perception.
“The visit has allowed us to see the investments that have been made and the systems currently in place. It gives us a better perspective as we continue our oversight responsibilities and review the concession agreement,” Senator Moye said.
While acknowledging the operational strides made by LTMI, Senator Moye stressed that the inspection forms part of a broader and ongoing review process of the concession arrangement. He reaffirmed that stakeholders remain committed to engaging relevant institutions to identify any gaps, concerns, or areas requiring improvement within the agreement.
The inspection comes against the backdrop of sustained public debate regarding the terms of LTMI’s concession and its role in managing key national transportation services. Senator Moye assured that the review process will remain guided by transparency, accountability, and the national interest.
He further indicated that findings from the inspection, along with subsequent recommendations, will be compiled into a formal report for submission to relevant authorities for further consideration and action.
Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated currently operates under a 25-year concession agreement with the Government of Liberia, signed in September 2018 and ratified by the Legislature in December of the same year. The agreement empowers the company to finance, develop, operate, maintain, and eventually transfer Liberia’s vehicle and traffic management system back to the Government upon expiration.
The inspection is expected to inform ongoing national deliberations on the concession and contribute to broader efforts aimed at modernizing Liberia’s transport sector and improving service delivery across the country.
