CTU Code: recommendations
• Governments should “encourage and promote
the adoption of the provisions of the CTU Code
into national legislation in order to support a
safer more healthy and productive transport
industry across the supply chain”
• The Office should “collaborate with other UN
agencies, international and regional
governmental and nongovernmental
organizations for the development of tools to
promote and disseminate information” on the
CTU Code.

Other highlights
• The industry’s resilience in the future lies
not only in its environmental efficiency,
smart planning and infrastructural
availability, but also on its ability to address
decent work challenges for professional
transport workers
