Morocco's Minister of Transport and Logistics, Abdessamad Kayouh, announced on November 10, 2026, that over 80% of 5,500 claims related to an exceptional subsidy for road transport professionals have been processed. The subsidy aims to support professionals in the sector who are facing difficulties. The minister made the statement while responding to oral questions at the House of Representatives.
The Moroccan government has been managing the claims and providing support to professionals who encounter difficulties accessing the electronic platform dedicated to the subsidy. To facilitate communication, instructions have been given to central services and regional and provincial directions to reach out to concerned transporters. This move aims to ensure that professionals in the sector receive the necessary support.
On November 3, 2026, the government decided to allocate a financial envelope of 400 million Moroccan dirhams (MDH) to increase subsidies for various categories of road transport. The goal is to preserve the purchasing power of citizens. The subsidies for each two-week period have been revised upward, with small taxis now receiving 1,280 dirhams, up from 800 dirhams.
The subsidy increases also apply to large taxis, which now receive 1,760 dirhams, up from 1,100 dirhams. Bus transport in urban areas receives 4,960 dirhams, up from 3,100 dirhams, while mixed transport in rural areas receives 1,440 dirhams, up from 900 dirhams. Intercity bus transport subsidies have increased to 5,600 dirhams, and towing vehicle subsidies have risen to 800 dirhams.
The subsidy for goods transport for third parties has also been increased, with trucks having a total weight in charge (PTAC) between 3.5 and 14 tons now receiving 2,080 dirhams, up from 1,300 dirhams. Larger trucks receive higher subsidies, with those weighing between 14 and 19 tons getting 2,720 dirhams and those over 19 tons receiving 3,360 dirhams.
Transport professionals can submit their requests for the new subsidy tranche via the dedicated electronic platform starting from November 11, 2026. The subsidies will be disbursed through Al Barid Bank and Barid Cash. Since March 2022, the exceptional direct subsidy to road transport professionals has exceeded 11 billion MDH, distributed over 23 tranches.
As of October 19, 2026, the goods transport sector for third parties has received the largest share of subsidies, with nearly 6.9 billion MDH, accounting for 62% of the total amount paid. The small and large taxi sectors received 26%, while urban public transport and personnel transport each received 3%.
