Riyadh: The General Transport Authority of Saudi Arabia has announced the launch of an automatic monitoring system for truck and bus violations, set to commence on April 21, 2024 AD, corresponding to Shawwal 12, 1445 AH, in various regions of the Kingdom. This initiative aims to enhance traffic safety and improve compliance with regulatory and technical requirements set by the Authority for activities such as transporting goods, renting trucks, international transport buses, and bus rental.

By implementing this system, the Authority aims to increase the quality, efficiency, and regularity of services provided and reduce carbon emissions. These efforts align with the goals of the National Strategy for Transport and Logistics Services, contributing to the growth and sustainability of the public transportation and logistics sector in Saudi Arabia.

The automated monitoring system will focus on specific violations related to truck and bus operations. These include operating a truck or bus without a valid operating card, operating a truck or bus with an expired card, and operating a bus beyond its operational life.

This project is a collaboration between the General Transport Authority and the Advanced Traffic Safety Project, aligning with the Authority's approach to organizing and advancing transportation activities. It also aligns with the strategic goals of the Authority's digital transformation project.

The implementation of the automated monitoring system represents a significant step in the regulatory aspect of transportation, leveraging the latest technologies to enhance the transportation system. This initiative is in line with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which aims to improve the quality of life in cities across the Kingdom.
