Launched at the end of 2016 by IRU, the East Africa Community (EAC) Smart Move High Level Group aims at defining a joint vision and policy alongside business recommendations on removing existing barriers and facilitating the use of buses, coaches and taxis in the East African Community. The objective is to substantially increase the level of service of collective passenger transport in this region. 

The Group gathers urban development representatives, transport and tourism authorities at EAC and national level, interested governmental and non-governmental organisations active in mobility and travel sectors, relevant bus and coach and taxi trade associations, representatives of cities, researchers, and bus and coach manufacturers. 

Discussions will evolve around three main topics:

1. Smart urban mobility including taxis 

2. Intercity and long distance regular lines by bus and coach

3. Group tourism by coach
