- Promote the adoption of energy efficient transportation such as mass transportation systems, electric and hybrid vehicles, non-motorized transportation, such as walking and cycling etc
- Strengthen the coordination among all relevant stakeholders, including all government agencies, involved in planning and implementation of transport projects
- Create an enabling environment for adoption of various initiatives proposed through timely amendment of existing acts, rules and regulations
