Morocco has unveiled a reform of its transport sector, aiming to enhance safety, modernize infrastructure, and improve service quality across the nation.

The initiative, spearheaded by Minister of Transport and Logistics Abdessamad Kayouh, targets intercity buses, rural transport, and car rentals, with a strong emphasis on digitalization and sustainability.

Central to the reform is the “Safe Autocar” program, which seeks to replace outdated intercity buses with modern, safer vehicles. Backed by an annual budget of MAD 200 million ($19.6 million), the fleet renewal initiative will run from 2024 to 2026, aiming to raise public transport’s attractiveness and reliability.

In tandem with road transport improvements, Morocco is investing MAD 96 billion ($9.6 billion) to modernize its railway infrastructure by 2030. The plan includes constructing a high-speed rail line between Kenitra and Marrakech, acquiring 168 new trains, and upgrading 40 stations. These efforts aim to enhance rail connectivity and support Morocco’s broader goals for sustainable and efficient transport.

Minister Kayouh emphasised the government’s commitment to digitalizing procedures to build a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable transport system. The reforms also address the need to professionalize the transport tourism sector and improve connectivity for remote communities in rural and mountainous regions.
