Collective Action
NGOs lobby govt on public transport
With billions of dollars poised to be injected into revitalizing Lebanon’s road networks, a new coalition of NGOs and experts is preparing to ensure public transport systems aren’t overlooked.
Six organizations launched the TRACS Transportation Coactive, to gather expertise from different transport stakeholders and academics and create a “sustainable transportation plan” to present to Cabinet.
Members of TRACS will be able to support the government’s work when things are going to plan, but “push when things aren’t going right ... so that it takes the sector seriously".
