KURA Signs Consultancy Deal for Phase II of Intelligent Transport Systems Project
The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) has taken a significant step towards modernizing urban transportation by signing a contract for consultancy services for Phase II of the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) project. The consultancy will be carried out by a consortium led by Dohwa Engineering.
The signing ceremony was attended by Eng. Silas Kinoti, Director General of KURA, and Eng. Oginga, Director of Urban Roads Planning and Design (URPD). Speaking during the event, Eng. Kinoti emphasized the importance of integrating technology into Kenya’s urban transport systems to improve mobility and road safety.
“This project is a key milestone in our efforts to leverage technology for smarter and safer transportation in urban areas. It will enhance road safety, ease traffic flow, and provide data-driven solutions for effective traffic management,” he said.
The ITS project aims to introduce advanced traffic management systems, including traffic signal synchronization, real-time traffic monitoring, and smart road infrastructure to address the challenges of urban congestion. Phase II builds on the successes of the initial phase and will further expand the deployment of these innovative systems in key urban areas.
The consortium led by Dohwa Engineering brings extensive expertise in implementing cutting-edge transport solutions. Their involvement underscores the project’s commitment to adopting global best practices tailored to Kenya’s unique urban transport needs.
This initiative aligns with KURA’s mission to develop efficient, sustainable, and technology-driven urban road networks that meet the demands of growing cities and ensure the safety of all road users.
