Mujahed opens national conference on multimodal transport

AMMAN — Minister of Transport Jamil Ali Mujahed on Saturday inaugurated the third national conference on multimodal transport, organised by Jasmine Foundation in cooperation with the ministry under the title “Challenges to transportation and future prospects”, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. 

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mujahed said that despite the great development in Jordan’s transport sector over the last two decades, there are still many challenges to face, mostly the demographic development which generated increased demand for transportation, higher accident rates, and negative impact on the environment.

He added that the lack of funding and investment were the most prominent challenges and called for a holistic planning strategy for the sector.
