Uganda has become the first country in the eastern and southern African region to convert its driver’s licensing categories to conform to the regionally harmonized Tripartite Transit and Transport Facilitation Programme (TTTFP) standards.
The county will commence issuance of the new licenses from the 1st March 2021, according to Mr. Winstone Katushabe, Commissioner Transport Regulation and Safety in Uganda.
The TTTFP drivers’ license categories and driving license card, are based on International Standards Organization (ISO) and the United Nations road traffic regulations. Uganda has already amended her Traffic and Road Safety Act of 1998, a process that was completed in May 2020.
