APTA Hosts Azerbaijani Professional
|
As part of the U.S. Department of State Professional  Fellows Program (PFP) APTA is hosting for four weeks a professional from Azerbaijan, Emil Ahmadov, who serves as the leading advisor at the Ministry of Transport of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Ahmadov is studying U.S. transportation practices that can be applied in Azerbaijan. He gave a presentation to APTA staff focused on ways his country is working to turn its capital city, Baku, into a transportation hub for the region. |
He spoke about effective measures to develop the transportation and communication infrastructure to expand opportunities for passenger and cargo transportation via the “North-South” and "East-West" transport corridors in Azerbaijan. He also outlined current developments in public transportation in the country, including underground rail, buses and taxis, the introduction and use of new technologies and improvements needed to existing infrastructure.
