The Ministry of Roads and Highways (MRH) in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development (MLGRD) is implementing an Urban Transport Project (UTP) with a key objective of reducing congestion on the roads. A National Drivers’ Academy established to train drivers to enhance safety on the roads has trained 612 commercial and corporate drivers. A National Road Safety Strategy III (NRSS III) has been developed and launched to serve as a blueprint for road safety management to guide road safety practices. Eight High Speed Weigh-In-Motion (HSWIM) stations have been established at various locations on the national trunk roads to assist in the production of accurate statistics on overloading and trafficked roads. 4.3.2 Rail Transport The rehabilitation and extension of the Accra-Tema sub-urban railway line from Tema harbor to Community One in Tema is about 86 percent completed. A draft Railway Sector Licensing Regulations has been completed. A Railway Master Plan to guide the sub-sector’s development has been completed. The performance of the rail transport for the year 2011 was mixed. The passenger traffic by rail declined from 27,856 in 2010 to 11,897 in 2011, representing a 57% decrease. Good traffic, however, increased from 41.3 tonnes in 2010 to 59.5 tonnes in 2011 (Table 4.4).
