The Ministry of Transport has begun a project to develop a mobile phone application that links passengers with the ministry with the aim of enhancing public transport.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
During her participation on Wednesday evening in the meetings of the United Nations Economic and Social Committee (ESCWA) on “Addressing Barriers to Women\u2019s Economic Participation in the Arab World,” Secretary-General of the ministry Wissam Tahtamoni said the project focuses on providing safe transportation for women to increase their participation in the labor market.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to a ministry statement on Thursday, Tahtamoni stated that the percentage of education among Jordanian women is high, however, their participation in the labor market is far less in comparison, citing a number of reasons, including the lack of safe transportation and high costs of transportation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Among other projects to ensure women’s economic participation were a project to rehabilitate bus stops by installing more lights and CCTV cameras, in addition to the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, subsidizing public transport, putting a cap on transportation fares, and amending legislation to protect women, and encouraging their work in the transport sector.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
