NTSA and Government Launch Road Safety Initiatives Targeting School Transport - August 2025
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is offering free motor vehicle inspection services for school transport vehicles as part of its "Watoto Wafike Salama" safety campaign ahead of school reopening. The NTSA also issued a critical advisory to Public Service Vehicle (PSV) operators to adhere to safety standards, after random checks revealed issues like faulty speed limiters. Concurrently, the Kenyan government, with support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), has launched an initiative to curb road accidents by developing a national database. This project will employ big data and digital intelligence to modernize accident recording and investigation.
