Institutional Framework Sustainable Transportation for Iraq

The transport sector in Iraq suffers from inefficiency and efficiency in its performance and development of other sectors. It is considered the biggest source of environmental pollution and the deterioration of the local and regional climate of Iraq because of traditional transport and traffic plans. The need for role of governance and decision-making in the Iraqi transport sector and make it sustainable need to develop an institutional framework through which the roles of different institutions and stakeholders in terms of financial management and decision-making, as well as adoption of the labor market approach that encourages the work of the private sector. The research concluded that governance and decision-making should be activated in all sectors; the transport sector is part of the overall system. The research recommended that the proposed framework be adopted as the starting point for a sustainable transport system to be applied in all Iraqi cities.
