[00:10:41] the downtown area as part of its efforts to develop
[00:10:45] environmental treatment methods and reduce undesirable odors
[00:10:48] by using biological preparations containing beneficial
[00:10:52] microorganisms that work to break down organic
[00:10:55] materials and waste,
[00:10:58] which are sources of odors, thereby contributing to their reduction
[00:11:01] and improving environmental conditions in the targeted areas. The municipality
[00:11:05] affirmed that it continues to search for practical, innovative,
[00:11:09] and sustainable solutions that contribute to improving
[00:11:12] the level of municipal services and enhancing
[00:11:17] environment, especially in areas with high population
[00:11:21] and commercial density, by developing
[00:11:24] tools for dealing with sources of odors, in line with
[00:11:27] its aspirations to improve the quality of life in
[00:11:42] Amman. In today's news and dialogue, we read from Al-Dustour newspaper
[00:11:45] the announcement by the Land Transport Regulatory Authority
[00:11:49] that the foundations and conditions for granting licenses
[00:11:52] and permits to provide passenger transport services to underserved
[00:11:56] areas will come into effect early next week, aiming
[00:11:59] to enhance citizens' access to public transport services
[00:12:03] and address the shortage of these services in areas where regular
[00:12:06] or adequate transport services are not available,
[00:12:10] and to curb unlicensed transport using private cars
[00:12:13] for a fee and its associated repercussions. The new foundations
[00:12:16] allow those wishing to provide the service to submit
[00:12:20] licensing applications according to specific conditions and criteria,
[00:12:23] with the possibility of providing support to areas where transport
[00:12:27] service revenues do not cover operating costs.
[00:12:30] For more details, I welcome by phone Dr.
[00:12:34] Abla Wishah, Director of the Media and Communication Unit
[00:12:38] and media spokesperson for the Land Transport Regulatory Authority.
[00:12:49] Please tell us about the most prominent features of the new foundations. Who will determine
[00:12:53] if a certain area is underserved? The passenger,
[00:12:56] the operator, the authority, or the administrative governors?
[00:13:00] And also the mechanism for submitting applications and transforming
[00:13:04] a service provider who is violating and disorganized and illegal into
[00:13:07] a regular service provider. The floor is yours, Madam.
[00:13:11] Yes, Brother Ibrahim, good morning. Yesterday,
[00:13:14] we announced the issuance of new foundations for regulating
[00:13:18] passenger transport services to underserved areas.
[00:13:21] These new foundations will be for the year
[00:13:24] 2026. These foundations were issued under the Land
[00:13:27] Transport Regulatory Authority Law of 2011. The goal
[00:13:31] of these foundations is to
[00:13:34] develop our regulatory and legislative
[00:13:37] tools in order to serve
[00:13:41] underserved areas. Citizens might ask what
[00:13:44] the definition of underserved areas is
[00:13:47] and what the goal of these foundations is.
[00:13:50] Of course, if an area is underserved,
[00:13:54] meaning regulatorily or according
[00:13:57] to the authority's legislation for transport service, it means areas
[00:14:01] that do not have regular or sufficient passenger transport
[00:14:04] or where the service has been cut off. There are areas,
[00:14:07] Brother Ibrahim, that originally had transport service,
[00:14:11] but the operator there stopped
[00:14:14] the service.
[00:14:17] there is no means of transport that can serve
[00:14:20] the citizens living there. Plus, the service might not
[00:14:23] be regular, meaning there are no specific
[00:14:27] times
[00:14:29] for buses or transport vehicles to be
[00:14:33] regular. Also, there are unprofitable
[00:14:36] areas for operation.
[00:14:40] It could be that their geographical location
[00:14:45] residential areas or residential gatherings,
[00:14:52] operation.
[00:14:56] to them, operating costs, meaning the expected
[00:14:59] return is not possible.
[00:15:03] It could be the operator. Yes,
[00:15:08] for the service. Meaning there might
[00:15:12] be unlicensed transport in those areas,
[00:15:16] and this is also one of the main reasons that prompted
[00:15:20] the existence of these foundations. Also,
[00:15:23] I have areas
[00:15:26] where the connection is weak or not
[00:15:29] suitable between the main
[00:15:31] residential
[00:15:33] and service centers. Meaning there might be areas with
[00:15:36] hospitals, health centers, schools,
[00:15:40] but the connection process to reach these
[00:15:43] vital and service centers
[00:15:46] is not suitable, and therefore we intervene here
[00:15:49] to ensure that passengers reach these
[00:15:53] areas. Now, these
[00:15:55] foundations,
[00:15:58] they defined these areas,
[00:16:00] and therefore we will start receiving
[00:16:04] applications, God willing, next week,
[00:16:07] on Sunday. The foundations defined a model for the applicant.
[00:16:11] Any citizen who finds that in their area, or
[00:16:15] the operator, or whoever wishes to provide
[00:16:17] passenger transport service in any area
[00:16:21] can apply to the authority with an application,
[00:16:25] and there is some information
[00:16:29] application. All applications will
[00:16:33] be studied, and it will
[00:16:37] be determined if there is a real need for servicing this
[00:16:41] area, in addition to determining the appropriate
[00:16:45] transport vehicle and suitable for this service in this
[00:16:48] area, and this is very important, Brother Ibrahim. Yes,
[00:16:54] it is clear that the investment decision is up
[00:16:58] to the operators. The economic feasibility may not be encouraging
[00:17:01] in some areas, and we all agree on this because, for example,
[00:17:05] I might be a government employee
[00:17:07] or a teacher in a school or work in
[00:17:11] any sector and live in one of the villages. I drive my car and take
[00:17:14] three passengers with me. This is the current situation, and
[00:17:17] in this way, I am in violation. Now, let's talk about what can be achieved
[00:17:21] in terms of sustainability through the Passenger Transport Support Fund to achieve a balance
[00:17:25] between economic feasibility and citizens' right to regular
[00:17:28] and safe public transport. How will this matter
[00:17:31] be managed? Certainly, the support process, God willing,
[00:17:34] was included in the foundations in a clear article,
[00:17:38] stating that if it is found that this area needs
[00:17:42] support, but on the condition that the achieved revenue is
[00:17:46] less than the operating costs, then at this
[00:17:49] point, it is necessary
[00:17:51] to provide support from the Passenger
[00:17:55] Transport Support Fund and provide sufficient
[00:17:58] support. This is not new to the authority.
[00:18:02] The sustainable transport that we are witnessing
[00:18:05] now in four main governorates
[00:18:08] and also a number of routes in the first phase
[00:18:11] and also in the second phase, we have nine
[00:18:14] new routes also in the second phase connecting
[00:18:17] between governorates, not the connection between Amman.
[00:18:21] And this was subject to the issue of support.
[00:18:24] We are concerned with buses departing on time and arriving
[00:18:28] on time, regardless of the cost of these
[00:18:32] buses. God willing, this new
[00:18:34] step by the authority in publishing these
[00:18:37] foundations will certainly require support
[00:18:41] from the Passenger Transport Support Fund. Yes, Madam,
[00:18:45] I truly cannot but say that we have started to witness
[00:19:04] We conclude our tour, dear viewers, with this caricature
[00:19:39] At the end of this morning's tour of our local press,
[00:20:02] portfolio. With the aim of enhancing the competitiveness
[00:20:06] of the national economy, government efforts continue
[00:20:09] through supporting industrial establishments,
[00:20:12] expanding employment opportunities, developing public transport
[00:20:16] services, and mobilizing international funding for water
[00:20:19] security projects, in parallel with following up on the readiness
[00:20:22] of the energy sector and ensuring continuous
[00:20:26] supply. These files are integrated to support productivity,
[00:20:42] Support for industry and enhancing competitiveness is at the forefront
[00:20:45] of the economic scene, with 280 micro
[00:20:48] and small industrial establishments qualifying for the training
[00:20:52] and technical guidance phase
[00:20:55] in Industry program, after passing administrative and financial verification.
[00:20:58] The program aims to help
[00:21:01] establishments prepare development plans based on scientific
[00:21:05] foundations in preparation for competing for non-refundable grants
[00:21:08] ranging in value from
[00:21:11] 25,000 to 10,000 dinars.
[00:21:14] The first round targets providing 120 grants
[00:21:18] to micro and small establishments and 30 grants
[00:21:22] to medium-sized establishments, which enhances their
[00:21:25] productive capabilities and opens new horizons
[00:21:28] for expansion and employment. From supporting establishments to empowering
[00:21:32] individuals in the labor market, the National Employment Program
[00:21:35] continues to achieve tangible results, as
[00:21:38] it has contributed since mid-2022 to
[00:21:42] 2,778 families leaving
[00:21:45] the umbrella of the National Aid Fund after providing
[00:21:49] sustainable opportunities for its members. The total
[00:21:52] number of supported employment contracts
[00:21:55] reached 61,580
[00:21:57] contracts, with females accounting for more than
[00:22:01] 51% of them. More than
[00:22:04] 53,000 employees also received training in vocational
[00:22:07] skills as part of efforts to develop
[00:22:11] competencies and enhance employment sustainability. In the
[00:22:14] path of service development and facilitating citizen
[00:22:18] movement, the procedures for applying the foundations for licensing
[00:22:21] passenger transport services to underserved areas
[00:22:24] will begin early next week, with the aim of addressing
[00:22:28] the shortage in transport lines and expanding the scope
[00:22:31] of service according to actual needs. The new foundations
[00:22:35] allow for regulating operating requests according
[00:22:38] to clear technical and operational
[00:22:42] of supporting transport services from the fund allocated
[00:22:45] for this purpose if revenues are insufficient to cover
[00:22:48] operating costs, thereby contributing to improving citizens' access
[00:22:53] centers and curbing unlicensed transport.
[00:22:56] As for the water sector, efforts are directed
[00:23:00] towards enhancing water security through investments and international
[00:23:03] partnerships. The Minister of Water and Irrigation discussed with
[00:23:07] officials from the Green Climate Fund avenues of
[00:23:09] cooperation, foremost among which is the National Carrier
[00:23:13] project and preparing water networks to receive it.
[00:23:17] The support provided by the fund for the project is 205
[00:23:21] million, of which 75 million dollars is a non-refundable
[00:23:25] grant. The discussions also covered the Water
[00:23:29] for People and Nature initiative aimed at enhancing
[00:23:32] investments in water security and climate action to support
[00:23:36] resource sustainability and improve
[00:23:40] in the Kingdom. In parallel with infrastructure
[00:23:44] development, monitoring the readiness of the energy
[00:23:47] sector and ensuring supply reliability continues. The
[00:23:51] Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Energy and Minerals Regulatory
[00:23:54] Commission inspected the operations center and control room
[00:23:58] at the Electricity Distribution Company to check the network's
[00:24:01] readiness and the measures taken to ensure continuous
[00:24:03] service. The commission emphasized the importance of coordination
[00:24:07] between relevant authorities and continuous supervisory
[00:24:10] and field follow-up around the clock to enhance the efficiency
[00:24:13] of the energy system and ensure continuous
[00:24:16] supply to citizens in various regions of the Kingdom.
[00:24:20] From supporting industry and expanding employment opportunities to improving transport services and enhancing
[00:24:23] water security and electrical readiness, these
[00:24:27] efforts are integrated in a path aimed
[00:24:30] at stimulating economic activity, improving service
