Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ At its meeting on Monday, the cabinet discussed and then backed a concept of the law on auto road.

An obligation was given to M.Zorigt, the Minister of Road and Transportation, to draw up the bill and submit it to the cabinet in near future.

Since its adoption in 1998, the law on auto road has been amended eight times, but now the time has come to alter it due to changes in social-economic development, to a need of making much more concrete and understandable and increasing the auto roads’ role in the development, to fulfill the state policy on broadening auto road network, to boost international and regional auto road corridors and infrastructure, and to ensure a longevity of roads.

Presently, 65 percent of total freight and 98.8 percent of passengers are transported by the auto roads.
