The introduction of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) into the public transport sector is being facilitated by new legislation designed to enhance safety, improve operational management, and provide passengers with real-time information. Vice-premier and Minister for Transport, Aleksandar Nikoloski, announced that a comprehensive reform effort is underway, requiring the amendment of several existing statutes. Nikoloski specified that the reform agency is currently working on modifying five separate laws.
These legislative updates are being executed through a collaborative effort involving the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Local Self-Government, and cooperation with the European Union. The primary objective of this legislative overhaul is the successful integration of advanced ITS technology across the nation’s transport infrastructure. This modernization effort is crucial for upgrading the efficiency and reliability of public transit services.
Furthermore, preparations are actively advancing for the deployment of these advanced transport systems along the Corridor. The initiative is receiving significant backing, including support from the World Bank and a dedicated grant totaling 13 million euros. These measures collectively aim to establish a modern, data-driven framework for public transportation, ensuring that the newly amended laws support robust and safe mobility solutions for the public.
