THE Progressive Transport Owners Association (PROTOA) has stated that it will ensure that only competent and medically fit drivers operate its vehicles throughout the country.
The National Chairman of the association, Mr Ben Peprah Amoabeng, said this during a tour of the Volta Region to interact with members at Aflao, Anloga, Ho, Kpando and Hohoe.
He said besides the regular refresher courses for its members, drivers who were involved in serious offences would have to attend mandatory re-training courses before they could be allowed to drive.
At Aflao, Mr Amoabeng stressed that PROTOA was a business association duly registered under the law and not aligned to any political movement.
He inaugurated the Volta Regional PROTOA executive in Ho and at a meeting later, he implored the members to cooperate with road transport planners in the implementation of the speedway bus transit project to begin in Accra by the close of the year.
Mr Amoabeng explained that under the arrangement, special bus routes would be created for scheduled bus services in the cities.
He assured the executive of the association that the bus shuttles would pose no danger to their business.
The Management Advisor to PROTOA in the Volta Region, Mr Victus Tetteh, stated that efforts were being made to get the municipal assembly to rationalise the use of the station to give equal opportunities to the various transport associations.
The Chairman of the new executive of Volta Region PROTOA is Mr Ben Katsekpor, with Mr Isaac Amenyo as the vice-chairman. The regional secretary is Mr Cephas Exe, the treasurer is Mr Joe Komada with Mr Felix Kudekpo as executive member.
Mr Katsekpor expressed concern about the large number of authorised speed ramps on the highways.
