ArmInfo. A unified transport network will be formed in Armenia. Amendments to the law "On Road Transport" and the Code of Administrative Offenses were adopted at the meeting of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on January 16 in the first reading.
According to the First Deputy Minister of Transport, Communication and Information Technologies of the Republic of Armenia Gagik Grigoryan, the documents submitted by the government of the country are aimed at ensuring accessibility of vehicles for all communities of Armenia. In particular.
It is proposed to create a unified transport network, within which there will be an opportunity to organize efficient passenger transportation from villages to regional centers and further to Yerevan. To this end, it is envisaged to organize tender procedures in a single package.
The transport network will be formed by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technologies in cooperation with regional authorities, whose representatives will also be involved in tender commissions. The speaker said that currently in one of the regions a pilot program is being implemented to implement this project. We are talking about the unification of the transport network by regions and throughout the country, transferring it to one operator. Currently, about 170 communities are deprived of the opportunity to use public transport. A single operator will serve both profitable and unprofitable routes.
