Cabinet has approved the policy framework for the establishment of the One Road Authority (ORA) as an executive agency under the Works portfolio in the Ministry of Economic Growth and Infrastructure Development.

Minister with Responsibility for Works, Robert Morgan made the disclosure during yesterday’s post Cabinet press briefing.

He said Cabinet approval for the ORA policy framework was granted last week. 

Mr. Morgan explained that the establishment of ORA represents a major governance reform aimed at improving road outcomes across the island through consistent, clear and accountable standards.

He added that the core mandate of ORA is to regulate standards and performance for all roads, while implementing works on national main roads.

The minister said ORA will strengthen quality assurance.
