ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY OF URBAN ROAD TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN JOS NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT PLATEAU STATE
Abstract
This study evaluates the efficiency of the urban transportation system in Jos North, Plateau State, Nigeria, focusing on transport modes, infrastructure, and public transport reliability. Using both qualitative and quantitative research methods, data was gathered through surveys, interviews, and field observations. The findings reveal that motorcycles are the dominant transport mode due to affordability and accessibility, while public transport remains highly unreliable. The study highlights poor road infrastructure, inadequate government regulation, and increasing congestion as major challenges.To improve urban mobility, the study recommends road infrastructure expansion, better traffic management, and enhanced public transport services. These interventions will promote a more efficient, safe, and sustainable transportation system in Jos North.Keywords: Urban Transportation, Public Transport, Infrastructure, Mobility, Jos North.
