Yerevan to implement digital traffic management 

ArmInfo. The Yerevan Municipality has proposed a new solution to the city's traffic congestion: a Traffic Management Center will be established. Yerevan  Deputy Mayor Suren Grigoryan presented the draft law during a meeting of the Council of Elders on November 18.

He noted that traffic management in Yerevan poses a serious challenge  for city authorities. To address this issue, the Municipality is  suggesting the use of digital tools. The newly established center  will be tasked with implementing various events and projects related  to traffic management in Yerevan.

According to the Deputy Mayor, two major projects are planned for  2026: the first project involves implementing a public transportation  dispatching system. Grigoryan clarified that the reforms already  initiated  by the Mayor's Office public transportation must be  complemented by the proper organization of public transportation  schedules and traffic flow management.

The second project calls for accurate traffic flow calculations,  which can be achieved through digital tools and technological  solutions. "I would like to point out that the need for such a  structure has been  long- standing," Grigoryan emphasized.

Regarding the establishment of such a Center, he mentioned that the  dissolution of the Yerevan Trans organization will be discussed at  the next meeting of the Council of Elders due to the overlap of  several functions that will be assigned to the Center.

In response to questions from Council members, the Deputy Mayor  stated that the creation of the new organization will not have a  significant impact on the budget. He emphasized that the difference  in funding between Yerevan Trans and the Traffic Management Center  amounts to only 0.16% of Yerevan's total revenues.
