Transport

INTRODUCTION:

Transport: The Transport Department plays a key role in issuing driving licenses, registration of motor vehicles, issue of transport permits, levy and collection of motor vehicle tax,enforcement of vehicle violations and acts as a nodal agency for road safety.

Roads: Availability of a well-connected and accessible road network plays an important role in the economic development and therefore, the kilometrage of paved roads existing in a District/State/ Country is often used as an index to assess the   extent   of   its   development.   The   proper development of the road network not only reduces the cost of transportation, both in terms of money and time, but also helps in the integration of various parts of the District or State or Country. The importance of road network is much more in a District like Suryapet whose economy is mainly accrued from the service sector and has chosen manufacturing as its future, as the Rail connectivity is poor.

Railways:Indian Railways has a history of rich heritage spanning over 150 years. Indian Railways is a State-owned public utility of Government of India under the Ministry of Railways. As a national common carrier transporting passenger and goods over a vast network, there is 39 kms of route length in Suryapet  district for goods transport. It has been playing a key role in  State as well as District’s economic development.
