DISTRICT REGIONAL TRANSPORT AUTHORITY

District Regional Transport Authority was established in Muzaffargarh on
August 14, 2001, with the Deputy Commissioner, as its head primarily to
regulate the affairs of the public transport in Muzaffargarh. It comprises 7
staff members including a Secretary, who exercises the executive functions,
and a Motor Vehicle Examiner.

Interestingly, there is no approved stand in the Muzaffargarh city to cater for
public needs. A project of establishing a C class stand was therefore revived
in 2019, and civil works were initiated on a site closer to Yadgar Club. At the
same time, for the long term solution of the traffic and transport issues, a
proposal for establishment of bigger bus stand on Mehmoodkot Road, outside
the city area, has been incorporated in the master plan of Muzaffargarh
which was being implemented as part of the Punjab Intermediate Cities
Improvement Investment Program by the Asian Development Bank funding.

As regards the permits issued/renewed in the Financial Year 2018-19, the
performance of the DRTA has been as follows:

Bolan 109
Pick-up 504
Renewal of permits 160
