The Lagos State Government is taking a huge step forward in enhancing passenger safety in road transportation. They’re launching an interstate park accreditation and passenger manifest digitization system, which will improve data analysis and make roads safer . This initiative is set to be unveiled to the public and stakeholders on Friday at Alausa, Ikeja, as announced by Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi.

By leveraging technology and data analysis, the government can identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions to enhance the overall transportation experience.
