The project aims to improve road safety in the Kingdom, reduce traffic accidents, and raise the professional standards of workers in the transportation sector.
The Commission clarified that the program includes drivers operating in the following categories: tourist and rental transport, public transport by buses and minibuses, school transport for educational institutions and private schools, public service small passenger cars, and heavy freight vehicles.
The LTRC explained that this initiative is in line with Article (24) of the 2017 Public Passenger Transport Law, which outlines the qualification requirements for passenger transport drivers and mandates the completion of specified training courses.
It also enforces Article (9) of the amended Regulation No. (46) of 2024 concerning driver licensing, which stipulates the necessity for drivers to present proof of having completed the required course for the type of transport in which they are employed.
The Commission noted that the cost of the training course is only 20 Jordanian dinars, paid once, and the issued certificate will be valid for five years from the date of issuance.
The LTRC confirmed that the Jordan Traffic Institute and the Royal Automobile Club are ready to conduct these courses across the Kingdom’s governorates, provided there are sufficient numbers of participants in each location, in coordination with the relevant authorities.
