Morocco transport sector developments

The Moroccan Ministry of Transport and Logistics has initiated several measures to address rural mobility and economic pressures within the transport sector. Minister Abdessamad Kayouh announced the completion of a study focused on the specific dual transport needs of rural and mountainous provinces to reduce isolation and improve mobility services. As part of this effort, the ministry has decentralized authority to regional officials and reduced the processing time for dual transport licenses to a maximum of 15 days.

To address rising fuel costs, the government has allocated 400 million dirhams to support road transport professionals between November 1 and November 15. This financial aid, which responds to demands from transport unions, aims to mitigate the impact of fuel price fluctuations on the transport of goods and passengers. The support covers approximately 200,000 vehicles, including freight trucks, passenger buses, taxis, and tourism transport, provided they are registered with the ministry and the National Road Safety Agency.
