Incoming Transport CEO Focuses on Road Safety

Commissioner of Police Chester Williams, who is soon transitioning to the role of CEO in the Ministry of Transport, says road safety is a major priority.

Williams shared, “I’ve seen a number of issues in the transport industry, particularly concerning road use, that certainly need addressing. Road safety is a priority, and I’ve been in dialogue with Minister Zabaneh about what we want to achieve in the ministry.”

Williams indicated that he intends to meet with key officials within the Department of Transport (DOT) to formulate a comprehensive action plan. He added, “Reckless driving will certainly be a priority.”

On the topic of seat belt laws within city limits, Williams defended the legislation, stating, “Seat belt laws were enacted for good reasons. We’ve had fatal accidents in the city where victims may have survived had they been wearing seat belts.”
