– *GH₵ 60,000* for non-compliance with lawful notices

The NRSA has also ordered the immediate suspension of operations against Express Transport and six other commercial road transport companies until they comply with the notices or face additional sanctions.

NRSA’s Stance

According to Director-General of NRSA, Abraham Amaliba, “The Authority is in an enforcement mode and will not bend the rules for anyone. The task of improving service quality begins with recognising which entities work within our operational space.”

Registration Requirement

The NRSA Act and Regulations require all commercial road transport operators, institutional transport units, school bus services, ride-hailing firms, tyre service centers, and vehicle maintenance workshops to register with the Authority. The regulation became enforceable on March 30, 2025, aiming to improve accountability, service quality, and road safety standards in Ghana’s transport ecosystems.
