TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES IN LAGOS
STATE.
Lagos State is endowed with international commerce, industry and
infrastructure excellence drives. In Lagos State, traffic situation is chaotic
and socio-economically unfriendly due to ills in multi transportation
modal functions.
In this study, a framework is developed for efficient utilization of
Lagos waterway system as a complement to other transportation modes
such as the dominating road mode.

 Pattern of urban growth with the less privileged often commuting long distances.
 Inadequate regulating public transport framework-with the poor often vulnerable to
high cost of transportation.
 Increasing air pollution-impacting health and quality of life
