| Transport Costs |
Different transport costs characterise different modes of transport since each has its capacity limitations and operational conditions. When two or more modes are directly competing for the same market, the outcome often results in lower transport costs. Investing in rail will ultimately reduce the cost of doing business.

Kenya has invested in SGR as an alternative mode of transport hence enhancing competition and reducing transport costs

Development of harmonised road safety strategy in the region: this involves the development of a road crash database. Sharing of experience across the agencies involved in road safety matters should be encouraged as well as the roll-out of the driver training program and sensitisation to reduce accidents along the corridor. All the member countries should have strict enforcement of traffic laws. Fast-tracking implementation of the Roadside Stations with amenities would minimise unnecessary multiple stops made by drivers along the corridor. It will also avail resting places for drivers to reduce driver fatigue which is also a major cause of accidents along the corridor
