now ( 2018) even though we have National Automotive Policy
(NAP)
 A study on transportation system was conducted in 1967-68 which
was financed by United Nations Development Programme and
executed by the World Bank
 However NTP was not developed
 The absence of NTP has caused:
 Disintegration within transportation industry
 Misallocation of resources
 Inappropriate developments and projects

 To provide clear direction, framework or road map for country’s
transportation industry
 To integrate entire modes of transportation, projects,
developments, entities and players in the transportation industry
into one roof
 To assure appropriate allocation of resources and developments
 To preserve ecosystem and environment from harmful effects
and impacts arising from development of transportation industry
National Transport Policy
Why is needed

 Sustain and maintain current transportation system
(infrastructure and facilities)
