Despite consistent growth in revenue, the Land Transport Authority is facing limitations in resourcing and technology due to funding constraints.

While highlighting and reflecting on his tenure as LTA Chairperson, Inosi Kuridrani says he recognizes the challenges that have hindered LTA’s ability to deliver a level of service that Fijians deserve.

He says strategic reform would enable the Authority to operate with greater autonomy, agility and efficiency while remaining fully accountable to the people of Fiji.

Kuridani says corporatisation is not just about better systems or infrastructure — it’s about transforming the way they serve the public.

He says he wants every Fijian to experience world-class service and to have confidence in a land transport system that is safe, modern, and sustainable.

LTA says they are committed to working closely with the Government, stakeholders, and the community to ensure transparency and accountability at every stage of this proposed reform.

They say as Fiji’s economy grows, a modernised LTA will play a vital role in supporting national development, improvingroad safety, and promoting environmental sustainability.

LTA says they are inviting stakeholders and the public to support this vision and join in shaping the future of transport in Fiji.
