Road Safety Management – Tbilisi Transport Company (TTC)

Client: Tbilisi Transport Company

In 2016, the Georgian government signed a loan agreement with the EBRD to purchase 143 new compressed natural gas (CNG) buses. The main beneficiaries were the city of Tbilisi and the Tbilisi Transport Company (TTC), the municipal entity responsible for managing buses, the metro, and the funicular. The new buses replaced outdated vehicles, improved passenger service quality, and enhanced the city’s environmental conditions. TTC, operating for over 60 years, faced significant challenges related to road traffic and road safety. 

Project Objective:

Enhance efficiency, safety, and service quality on TTC bus routes by addressing frequent accidents and vehicle downtime through the implementation of a road safety management system (RSMS).
