Monrovia – The National Civil Society Union of Liberia (NACSUL) has expressed confidence in the operational capacity and technological infrastructure of Liberia Traffic Management Incorporated (LTMI) following a comprehensive inspection of the company’s facilities amid ongoing public discussions surrounding its concession agreement with the Government of Liberia.
The day-long assessment brought together representatives from the Liberian Senate, NACSUL, the Ministry of Transport, and the National Bureau of Concessions (NBC). The delegation was led by Senator Prince K. Moye, who said the visit was intended to provide stakeholders with a firsthand understanding of LTMI’s operations, investments, and contributions to Liberia’s transportation management system.
During the inspection, the delegation toured several key departments, including vehicle registration services, driver’s licensing operations, traffic monitoring systems, data management centers, and other technological platforms supporting the country’s transport sector.
LTMI officials also presented detailed briefings on the technologies and innovations being deployed to improve efficiency, strengthen traffic management, and enhance service delivery nationwide.
Speaking to reporters after the tour, Senator Moye described the facility as “impressive,” citing its level of organization, modern infrastructure, and technological capabilities.
“The visit has allowed us to see the investments that have been made and the systems that are currently in place. It gives us a better perspective as we continue our oversight responsibilities and review the concession agreement,” Senator Moye said.
While commending LTMI’s operations, the senator stressed that the inspection does not signal the end of the ongoing review of the concession agreement. He reiterated the commitment of stakeholders to continue engaging relevant institutions to identify and address any concerns or gaps within the arrangement.
The inspection comes amid heightened public debate over LTMI’s concession and its role in managing critical transportation services in Liberia. Senator Moye assured the public that the review process would remain guided by transparency, accountability, and the national interest.
According to him, findings from the inspection, along with recommendations from subsequent reviews, will be compiled into a formal report for submission to the appropriate authorities.
LTMI currently operates under a 25-year concession agreement with the Government of Liberia. The agreement, signed in September 2018 and ratified by the Legislature in December of the same year, authorizes the company to finance, develop, operate, maintain, and eventually transfer Liberia’s vehicle and traffic management system to the government at the end of the concession period.
Stakeholders believe the inspection will contribute meaningfully to ongoing discussions about the concession while informing broader efforts to modernize Liberia’s transport sector, improve service delivery, and strengthen traffic management nationwide.
