Transport Minister Tyler Urges Vehicle Owners to Embrace New Mobile Money Payment Platform
Monrovia, January 13, 2026 — Transport Minister Sirleaf Ralph Tyler has encouraged vehicle owners, operators, and transport-related business operators across Liberia to fully utilize the newly launched mobile money payment platforms introduced by the Ministry of Transport, describing the system as a solution to long-standing challenges at the Ministry.
Speaking on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, during the official launch of the digital vehicle registration and driver’s license payment system, Minister Tyler said the initiative is designed to significantly reduce the persistent long queues that have historically characterized transactions at the Ministry of Transport.
“For years, vehicle owners and operators have endured unnecessary delays, overcrowding, and stress simply to register vehicles or renew driver’s licenses,” Minister Tyler said. “This new mobile money payment platform is meant to change that experience entirely.”
According to the Minister, the new system allows users to make payments electronically through mobile money and other digital channels, eliminating the need for cash transactions and repeated visits to the Ministry. He noted that the reform will not only save time but also improve transparency and efficiency in service delivery.
Minister Tyler emphasized that the platform will benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including commercial drivers, private vehicle owners, transport unions, and businesses involved in the transport sector. He added that reducing congestion at the Ministry will also create a safer and more orderly environment for both staff and the public.
“This is about making government work better for the people,” he said. “We want compliance to be easy, not stressful. We want a system where people can pay conveniently and move on with their daily lives.”
The Transport Minister further assured the public that the Ministry has put measures in place to ensure the system is secure and user-friendly. He called on transport operators and vehicle owners nationwide to cooperate by adopting the new payment methods as part of the government’s broader digital transformation agenda.
The mobile money vehicle registration and driver’s license payment platforms were officially launched on Tuesday at the Executive Pavilion in Monrovia. Government officials say the initiative aligns with national efforts to modernize public services, reduce inefficiencies, and enhance accountability in the transport sector.
