Advocacy & Policy

Shaping the future of Kenya’s public transport through strategic engagement and evidence-based reform.

FPTS exists to influence decisions, not observe them. We actively engage government and regulators to push for public transport policies that are practical, enforceable, and aligned with national development goals.

Policy Reform & Engagement

We participate in policy formulation, review, and implementation processes at national and county levels to ensure transport regulations reflect operational realities.

Sector Representation

FPTS represents operators and stakeholders in taskforces, consultative forums, and engagements convened by NTSA, MoT, and county governments.

Regulatory Harmonization

We advocate for consistent enforcement, aligned licensing systems, and coordinated regulation to eliminate fragmentation across counties.

Public Infrastructure Advocacy

We push government-led investment in terminals, depots, bus stops, and dedicated lanes as critical public infrastructure.

Public Transport Sector Impact

Kenya’s public transport network moves millions of passengers daily, forming the backbone of both urban and inter-county mobility. Despite limited infrastructure, matatus, buses, and coaches provide affordable, flexible, and vital connectivity across the country.

The sector supports daily commuters, tourism, corporate travel, and emergency transport, while FPTS advocacy ensures operations are safe, regulated, and strategically aligned with national development goals.

Join Our Policy Forum

Our advocacy ensures that public transport policy is driven by data, safety, and public interest — not reactionary enforcement.
