Transforming Uganda’s Transport Sector: A Call For Sustainable Solutions

Commissioner Winston Katushabe from the Ministry of Works and Transport is advocating for a significant reduction in the importation of aged vehicles in Uganda. He stresses the importance of transitioning to new and electric cars to combat the escalating air pollution crisis in the city.

During the Green Mobility Forum in Kampala, Katushabe raised awareness about the detrimental effects of vehicle emissions on public health.

He emphasized the need for government incentives to promote the adoption of electric cars and the purchase of new vehicles to improve air quality and save lives.

Professor Engineer Bainomugisha, leading AirQO’s air quality monitoring efforts, emphasizes the crucial role of detailed data in understanding and addressing the emissions from vehicles.

Comprehensive data on vehicle types and emissions profiles is essential for effective enforcement of emission regulations.

Balancing challenges and solutions

While the shift to electric and new vehicles is crucial for environmental sustainability, private sector players express concerns about the financial feasibility for average Ugandans.

Balancing the need for cleaner transport solutions with affordability remains a significant challenge in the sector.

Uganda’s plan to limit the importation of vehicles older than 15 years and promote electric cars signifies a step towards a greener future.

By enforcing emission standards and prioritizing cleaner transport solutions, Uganda aims to protect public health and combat climate change effectively.
