The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has announced a Ksh10 billion smart traffic upgrade for Nairobi, financed by a loan from South Korea's Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF).

• The project targets the upgrade of 60 major junctions in Nairobi.
• Key installations will include 60 traffic signal systems, 60 CCTV cameras, and 13 Vehicle Detector Systems.
• Works are expected to be completed within 30 months, with a four-year operational support period.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is seeking affordable funding from the World Bank and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to reform Kenya's public service vehicle (PSV) sector.

• The initiative aims to create a dedicated fund offering operators financing at below-market interest rates.
• NTSA Director General Nashon Kondiwa highlighted the need for more structured public transport, citing operators' limited financial capacity to renew aging fleets as a key challenge.
• This comes amidst concerns over PSV safety, including a recent fatal accident involving a recklessly driven matatu.

Nairobi City County Governor Johnson Sakaja has launched a new Smart Fleet Management System to track, monitor, and manage all county vehicles in real time.

• The system aims to improve service delivery, strengthen accountability, and reduce operational costs across Nairobi City County departments.
• Currently, 360 vehicles have been fitted with the technology, with 62 more vehicles and 10 motorcycles awaiting installation.
• Key features include real-time location tracking, monitoring of fuel consumption, and automatic maintenance alerts.
