The purpose of this research road transport policy impact on economic development in Federal Capital Territory Abuja. The study employed both primary and secondary as sources of data. This study employed stratified sampling to select 400 respondents of which 160 were found valid for the analysis. Five Likert-scale type questionnaires were used for collecting the data.

Federal Capital Territory Transport Secretariat, The National Planning Commission, Federal Ministry of Transport, and its Parastatals, and the Bureau for Public Enterprises were the main sources of data.

The interviews agree that policies of road transportation enhance economic development by providing easy access to the workplace, schools, and markets. However, finding from the questionnaires result reveals that, road infrastructures and safety were positively and significantly related with economic development.
