Furthermore, the implementation of the clean urban transport policy is expected to create new opportunities for innovation, job creation, and economic development in the transportation sector. By embracing sustainable practices and harnessing the potential of clean energy technologies, cities can become more resilient to future environmental pressures while enhancing the overall quality of life for their inhabitants.

In summary, the approval of the clean urban transport policy marks a significant milestone in the government's efforts to build more sustainable and resilient cities.
