NTSA Urges All Motorists to Validate E-Citizen Accounts After Shutting Down TIMS Portal
National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued a directive following the shutdown of the Transport Integrated Management System (TIMS) portal which is currently unavailable to the public due to the ongoing migration to the E-Citizen platform.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the Authority instructed all motorists to validate their E-Citizen accounts in preparation for the integration of all services on the platform.
From January 2, 2024, all motorists will be required to use their E-Citizen credentials to access NTSA services.
Following the migration, motorists will also be able to use the uniform pay bill 222222 to make payments for NTSA services.Â
The shift is in line with President William Ruto’s directive for all government services to be consolidated into a uniform platform for easier accountability and efficient revenue collection.
The directive, according to NTSA, affects all individuals and organizations accessing the TIMS platform.
“The TIMS platform is currently unavailable to the public due to the ongoing migration and integration to enable access to all services using the E-Citizen single sign-on,” NTSA stated.
