These proposals will focus on enhancing the coordination of roadworks, improving public transport, implementing effective parking schemes, reducing reliance on private cars, and promoting sustainable mobility.

In this regard, the government has already initiated national consultations with social partners.

Last week, the government held a specific meeting with the Maltese Council for Economic and Social Development to discuss these proposals.
