At a press briefing titled “Collective Path to a Stable Country” held yesterday at the Presidential Media Centre, the State Minister Lasantha Alagiyawanna highlighted the transportation sector’s significant impact on ecosystems, both globally and locally, with vehicle emissions being a major contributor. To address this, smoke certificates are being issued to maintain air quality and reduce lung-related diseases.
The Ministry of Transport, the National Building Research Organization (NBRO), and the Central Environment Authority (CEA) are collaborating to expand air emission measurement centers to 100 within six months. This data will be available online, allowing citizens to monitor air quality in real-time from anywhere in the world.
Additionally, vehicle insurance and licenses will soon be obtainable at the same locations where emission certificates are issued, with this integrated service set to be available island-wide within two months.
To improve road safety, the government is finalizing tenders for new data systems and equipment for the police. The implementation is expected shortly after the selection of a suitable candidate next month.
Starting September 1st, a WhatsApp messaging service will notify drivers of traffic infractions. This service will run for two months, after which new laws addressing these violations will be enforced. (Newswire)
