Abstract


Transport education which encompasses a range of formal and informal training programme, courses, and certifications equip road transporters with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their roles effectively. Therefore, this study evaluates the impact of transport education on the operations of road transporters in Ogbomoso, Oyo state. The study adopted descriptive research design with the use of a well-structured questionnaire to randomly sampled 174 transport workers in Ogbomoso while regression analysis was also used for the purpose of the data analysis. Findings revealed that there is a relationship between transport education and safety practices of road transport operations in Ogbomoso. It is therefore recommended that those stakeholders can develop and implement programs that not only enhance the skills and competencies of transport workers but also contribute to safer and more efficient road transport systems in the region.
