Transport General Authority forms committees to review land transport violations, appeals

Saudi Arabia's Transport General Authority has formed five specialized committees to examine land transport violations and appeals under newly enacted regulations. The decision, issued by Transport General Authority President Fawaz bin Zanaaf Al-Sahli, outlines the specific mandate for each committee. One committee will handle appeals against Land Transport Law violations.

Another will assess violations related to taxi activities and ride-hailing services. A third committee will review infractions by foreign trucks. A fourth committee will address issues in light freight and delivery activities. Finally, a fifth committee will deal with other transport-related violations. Each committee will scrutinize violations within its designated scope and impose penalties as outlined in the Land Transport Law.

The appeals committee will manage grievances related to law violations. The committees' operations will follow the rules governing appeal and violation reviews under the Land Transport Law. This decision, set to remain in place for three years, aims to streamline the violation review and appeals process, assign appropriate committees for each type of violation, and ensure procedures comply with approved rules.

The move seeks to bolster the legitimacy and reviewability of decisions, safeguard the rights of all parties involved, and provide a clear pathway for submitting objections through established procedures.
