Transport Authority Chairman Outlines Initiatives for Enhanced Transportation System – During a Post-Cabinet briefing on Wednesday, Owen Ellington, Chairman of the Transport Authority, unveiled a series of upcoming developments aimed at creating a more streamlined and effective transport system. These adjustments, Ellington emphasized, are strategically designed to optimize traffic flow and prioritize safety for all stakeholders. Owen Ellington, at the helm of the Transport Authority of Jamaica, elucidated their commitment to enhancing the public transportation infrastructure. This commitment extends not only to the metropolitan region but spans across the entirety of Jamaica. Ellington highlighted that a concerted effort is underway to initiate multiple projects that will significantly elevate the quality of the public transportation system.
One of the immediate actions being taken is the convening of a meeting to determine the optimal relocation strategy for coaster buses. The goal is to integrate them seamlessly into the designated transport center. This strategic move is anticipated to further streamline operations and enhance the commuter experience. Alongside these changes, clear and informative signage will be erected to provide guidance for both motorists and transportation operators. As the Transport Authority under Ellington’s leadership spearheads these forward-looking initiatives, the overarching objective remains the creation of a transportation network that is efficient, safe, and responsive to the needs of the public.
