TRICYCLE RIDERS SEEK FCTA'S SUPPORT TO GROW TRANSPORT SECTOR

[City, Date] - The Tricycle Riders Association of [City] has called on the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) to provide support to the tricycle transport sector in order to boost economic growth and improve transportation services in the city.

Speaking at a press conference held at the FCTA headquarters, the President of the Tricycle Riders Association, [Name], said that the tricycle sector is a vital part of the city's transportation system, providing affordable and convenient transportation services to thousands of residents daily.

However, [Name] lamented that the sector is facing numerous challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, lack of regulation, and limited access to financing. He therefore appealed to the FCTA to provide support to the sector, including the provision of designated parking areas, improved road infrastructure, and access to financing for tricycle owners.

"We are calling on the FCTA to recognize the importance of the tricycle sector and provide the necessary support to help us grow and develop," [Name] said. "We believe that with the right support, we can contribute significantly to the growth of the city's economy and improve the overall transportation experience for residents."

The Tricycle Riders Association also called for the establishment of a regulatory framework to govern the sector, including the issuance of licenses to tricycle operators and the implementation of safety standards.

"We believe that a regulatory framework will help to improve the safety and efficiency of the sector, and provide a level playing field for all tricycle operators," [Name] said.

The FCTA was also urged to provide training and capacity building programs for tricycle operators, to improve their skills and knowledge in areas such as safety, customer service, and business management.

"We believe that with the right training and support, tricycle operators can improve their services and contribute more effectively to the growth of the city's economy," [Name] said.

The Tricycle Riders Association also called for the establishment of a tricycle riders' union, to provide a platform for tricycle operators to negotiate with the FCTA and other stakeholders on issues affecting the sector.

"We believe that a union will provide a strong voice for tricycle operators and help to address the challenges facing the sector," [Name] said.

The FCTA was also urged to provide support for the development of alternative fuels for tricycles, such as electric and hybrid vehicles, to reduce the sector's environmental impact and improve air quality in the city.

"We believe that alternative fuels will help to reduce the sector's environmental impact and improve air quality in the city, while also providing a more sustainable and cost-effective option for tricycle operators," [Name] said.

The Tricycle Riders Association is a non-profit organization that represents the interests of tricycle operators in [City]. The organization is committed to promoting the growth and development of the tricycle sector, and improving the overall transportation experience for residents of the city.
