In each department, several activities will be organised for two-, three- and four-wheel taxi drivers, transport operators, young people and the general public.
- Awareness meetings for motorcycle taxi, tricycle and car taxi drivers;
- Information sessions on road safety rules;
- Meetings with unions and professional associations in the transport sector;
- Awareness caravans in major cities;
- Community outreach campaigns in markets, bus stations and public places;
