Earlier this week, Times of Malta reported that the government is considering offering drivers €25,000 to surrender their driving licence for five years.

However, Malta Daily confirmed that  this is just one of several measures being explored as part of a short-term strategy to tackle Malta’s traffic issues.

Under the proposed scheme, licence holders who own a car and have been driving in Malta for at least seven years would receive €5,000 annually for five years in exchange for giving up their licence.

The government has been working on various initiatives to discourage private car ownership and promote alternative transport options.

Transport Minister Chris Bonett previously stated that a two-phase plan—comprising short-term and long-term measures—was in the works to address Malta’s traffic congestion.

These latest proposals, expected to be announced soon, form part of the short-term strategy.

Malta Daily understands that Minister Bonett is committed to implementing these measures, with full backing from the cabinet and the prime minister. While details may still change, discussions with stakeholders have been ongoing for some time.

Additional initiatives are also being planned as the government continues its efforts to improve Malta’s traffic situation.
