Eng. Fawaz bin Zanaaf Al-Sahli has been appointed President of the Transport General Authority by royal order in February 2026, taking on leadership of the body that oversees the Kingdom's transport sector at the highest executive rank.
The appointment was announced as a promotion to lead the Transport General Authority, placing Al-Sahli at the top of the authority responsible for regulating and developing transport activities across the country.
Al-Sahli brings expertise in transport network planning and design, along with experience in policy development and business planning for land transport. This background positions him to guide the authority's work at a time when the transport sector plays a central role in the country's wider development goals.
Why it matters
Transport is a daily concern for residents and expats alike, whether they rely on public transit, road networks, or freight and delivery services. Leadership at the Transport General Authority influences how these services are regulated and improved over time.
For the community across the Kingdom, including Riyadh and Jeddah, changes at the top of the transport authority signal continued attention to the planning and quality of transport services that many depend on every day.
