Background of the Study
Transportation is a critical component of urban development, as it determines how people and goods move within cities. In Jere Local Government, Borno State, rapid urbanization has placed considerable pressure on the transportation infrastructure, leading to congestion, inefficiencies, and delays in urban mobility. The local government has implemented various transportation policies aimed at addressing these challenges, including road expansion projects, public transport initiatives, and traffic management reforms. However, urban mobility in Jere still faces issues related to insufficient infrastructure, the proliferation of informal transport systems, and security concerns due to insurgent activities (Mustapha & Bawa, 2024). This study will examine the effectiveness of these transportation policies in improving urban mobility in Jere and identify the barriers to their successful implementation.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The transportation challenges in Jere Local Government are compounded by the growing population, inadequate infrastructure, and the impact of ongoing security concerns. While transportation policies have been introduced to address these issues, their implementation has been slow and often ineffective, resulting in persistent congestion, poor road conditions, and limited access to efficient public transport (Aminu & Garba, 2023). This study will assess the impact of these policies on urban mobility in Jere, evaluating their successes and identifying the factors that hinder their effectiveness.
