The Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly partnered with local lawmakers on Tuesday to address safety and regulation concerns surrounding tricycle operators in the historic Ghanaian city. The summit at the Centre for National Culture brought together riders and officials to discuss traffic compliance and operational reforms affecting the popular transport service known as Pragya.

Cape Coast North MP Dr. Kwamena Minta Nyarku proposed decentralizing the association into station-based groups with distinct identification systems for better monitoring. He advocated lowering the legal operating age from 25 to 18 years and requested driver training programs from licensing authorities. Metropolitan Chief Executive George Justice Arthur mandated uniform requirements and vehicle registration while warning that unregistered tricycles would face road bans.

Association Secretary Kwaku Sam thanked officials for the engagement and emphasized the employment opportunities tricycles provide for youth. The gathering concluded with commitments from both government representatives and operators to enhance safety standards and integrate tricycles into urban mobility planning.
