The Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) has announced that all public transport vehicles in the country must have functional Global Positioning System (GPS) devices installed by August 1. The decision follows a directive issued by the Road Transport and Highways Division to enhance road safety and improve transport management through modern technology. BRTA published a public notice on Monday confirming the enforcement timeline.
According to the notice, the GPS requirement aims to integrate advanced information technology into the public transport system to ensure safer and more efficient road operations. The technical specifications for the GPS devices can be obtained from local BRTA offices or downloaded from its official website. The Road Transport and Highways Division issued the related gazette notification on June 11.
BRTA further stated that under the Road Transport Act 2018 and the Road Transport Rules 2022, registration and fitness certificate renewals will only be processed after verifying that the required GPS devices have been properly installed. The authority has sought cooperation from transport owners and all stakeholders to implement the directive effectively.
