Summary
Cabinet Office and Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Ordinance No. 5 of 2026 amends their Ordinance No. 2 of 2007 on obtaining prefectural public safety commission opinions for certification of plans under the Act on Revitalization and Rehabilitation of Local Public Transportation. The plans cover advanced road transport implementation, continuation of regional passenger transport services, freight-passenger transport efficiency, regional public transport convenience improvements, and new regional passenger transport businesses. The stated promulgation date is 2026-09-18 and the effective date is 2026-10-16.
Business Impact
Operators involved in the five specified types of regional transport plans may be affected by changes to the public safety commission consultation procedures used in plan certification; the metadata does not describe the procedural changes.
