Commercial transport operators of Ghana have strongly pushed back against a decision by the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) to ban the use of Toyota Voxy vehicles for commercial transport, describing the move as misguided and harmful to livelihoods. Local business directory
In a press release dated April 8, 2026, the Commercial Transport Operators of Ghana criticised the Authority’s stance, arguing that a blanket ban is not the solution to addressing road safety concerns.
“The decision to ban the Toyota Voxy for commercial purposes is a lazy and ill-conceived approach,” the group stated, urging the NRSA to reconsider its position and engage industry stakeholders.
The operators maintained that the Toyota Voxy remains a widely used and reliable vehicle within the transport sector, warning that the directive could negatively impact many drivers and their families who depend on it for income.
They called on the NRSA to shift focus towards driver education and training, including the organisation of road safety seminars to improve driving standards.
The group further urged authorities to adopt targeted safety interventions in high-risk areas and address underlying challenges such as poor road infrastructure, which they say contribute significantly to road accidents.
The response follows a directive by the NRSA declaring that Toyota Voxy vehicles being used for commercial transport are operating illegally due to regulatory breaches and safety concerns.
