The ministry headquarters are in Givat Ram, Jerusalem.[2]Table of ContentsFunctions and structure[edit]Development plans[edit]List of ministers[edit]List of deputy ministers[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Functions and structure[edit]The Ministry of Transport handles road safety; operation of traffic services; and maintaining international air, sea, and overland links. Land transport departments include the Licensing Division, Vehicles Division, Traffic Division, Road Safety Administration, and Financial Supervision Division. The Shipping and Ports Administration handles maritime transport, and the Civil Aviation Administration handles air transport. The Israel Meteorological Service covers all three areas. Units subordinate to the director-general include Planning and Economics, Legal Counsel, Public Relations, Internal Auditing, Finance, and Emergency Arrangements. The Israel Airports Authority and the Ports and Railways Authority have a special status as corporations established by law.The Planning and Economics Division coordinates transport policy, work plans, budgets, and funding; sets policy on prices, levies, and fees; monitors the administration of the Airports Authority and the Ports and Railways Authority; coordinates information systems and transportation research; and oversees physical planning and monitoring of master plans.[3]Development plans[edit]In 2010, Nir Barkat, mayor of Jerusalem, unveiled a NIS 8 billion transportation plan for the city drawn up in collaboration with the Transport Ministry. The plan includes a new light rail line, extensions of the first phase of the red line now under construction, a series of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) routes and five new roads.[4]In 2021 the new minister Merav Michaeli announced a shift in focus declaring “Over the years, planning was done here from a perspective that placed private vehicles in the center. We are turning this around completely and making private vehicles the lowest priority, and as a top priority we are placing the citizens as pedestrians, so there will be as much motivation as possible to walk on foot and ride bicycles, and for it to be possible to take public transportation as much as possible, quickly and efficiently, and for it to be pleasant for us to do this.”[5]List of ministers[edit]The Minister of Transport, National Infrastructure and Road Safety (Hebrew: \u05e9\u05e8 \u05d4\u05ea\u05d7\u05d1\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4, \u05d4\u05ea\u05e9\u05ea\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea \u05d4\u05dc\u05d0\u05d5\u05de\u05d9\u05d5\u05ea \u05d5\u05d4\u05d1\u05d8\u05d9\u05d7\u05d5\u05ea \u05d1\u05d3\u05e8\u05db\u05d9\u05dd, Sar HaTahbura, HaTashtiyot HaLe’umiyot VeHaBetihut BaDrakhim), formerly Minister of Transport, heads the ministry. A relatively minor post in the Israeli cabinet, it is often given to smaller parties in the governing coalitions.[citation needed] Nevertheless, there has been a Minister of Transport in every Israeli government to date. Miri Regev of the governing Likud party is the incumbent.[6]Three Prime Ministers (David Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin and Ariel Sharon) have held the transport portfolio whilst in office, though only for a short time, whilst three Ministers of Transport (Ezer Weizman, Moshe Katsav and Shimon Peres) had gone on to become President.There is also occasionally a Deputy Minister of Transport.[7]#MinisterPartyGovernmentTerm startTerm endNotesMinister of Transportation1David RemezMapaiP, 1May 14, 1948November 1, 19502Dov YosefMapai2November 1, 1950October 8, 19513David-Zvi PinkasMizrachi3October 8, 1951August 14, 1952Died in office4David Ben-GurionMapai3August 14, 1952December 24, 1952Serving Prime Minister5Yosef SerlinGeneral Zionists4December 24, 1952December 29, 19526Yosef SapirGeneral Zionists4, 5December 29, 1952June 29, 19557Zalman AranMapai6June 29, 1955November 3, 19558Moshe CarmelAhdut HaAvoda7, 8November 3, 1955December 17, 1959Not an MK until 9 June 19589Yitzhak Ben-AharonAhdut HaAvoda9, 10December 17, 1959May 28, 196210Yisrael Bar-YehudaAhdut HaAvoda10, 11, 12May 28, 1962May 4, 1965Died in office\u2013Moshe CarmelAhdut HaAvodaAlignmentLabor PartyAlignment12, 13, 14May 30, 1965December 15, 1969Not an MK after 17 March 196911Ezer WeizmanNot an MK15December 15, 1969August 6, 197012Shimon PeresAlignment15September 1, 1970March 10, 197413Aharon YarivAlignment16March 10, 1974June 3, 197414Gad YaacobiAlignment17June 3, 1974June 20, 197715Menahem BeginLikud18June 20, 1977October 24, 1977Serving Prime Minister16Meir AmitDemocratic Movement for Change18October 24, 1977September 15, 197817Haim LandauNot an MK18January 15, 1979August 5, 198118Haim CorfoLikud19, 20, 21, 22August 5, 1981December 22, 198819Moshe KatsavLikud23, 24December 22, 1988July 13, 199220Yisrael KessarLabor Party25, 26July 13, 1992June 18, 199621Yitzhak LevyNational Religious Party27June 18, 1996February 25, 199822Shaul YahalomNational Religious Party27February 25, 1998July 6, 199923Yitzhak MordechaiCentre Party28July 6, 1999May 30, 200024Amnon Lipkin-ShahakCentre Party28October 11, 2000March 7, 200125Ephraim SnehLabor Party29March 7, 2001November 2, 200226Ariel SharonLikud29November 2, 2002December 15, 2002Serving Prime Minister27Tzachi HanegbiLikud29December 15, 2002February 28, 200329Avigdor LiebermanNational Union30February 28, 2003June 6, 200430Meir SheetritLikud30August 31, 2004May 4, 2006Minister of Transportation and Road Safety31Shaul MofazKadima31May 4, 2006March 31, 2009Minister of Transportation, National Infrastructure and Road Safety32Yisrael KatzLikud3231 March 200918 March 2013Minister of Transportation and Road Safety\u2013Yisrael KatzLikud33, 3418 March 201317 June 201933Bezalel SmotrichUnion of the Right-Wing Parties3417 June 201917 May 202034Miri RegevLikud3517 May 202013 June 202135Merav MichaeliLabor Party3613 June 202129 December 2022\u2013Miri RegevLikud3729 December 2022List of deputy ministers[edit]#MinisterPartyGovernmentTerm startTerm endNotes1Reuven ShariMapai2April 2, 1951October 8, 19512Gad YaacobiAlignment15November 2, 1972March 10, 19743David ShiffmanLikud19August 11, 1981October 18, 1982Died in office4Pinhas GoldsteinNew Liberal Party24July 2, 1990November 20, 19905Efraim GurUnity for Peace and ImmigrationLikud24November 20, 1990July 13, 19926Avraham YehezkelLabor Party29March 7, 2001November 2, 20027Sofa LandverLabor Party29August 12, 2002November 2, 20028Shmuel HalpertAgudat Yisrael30March 30, 2005May 4, 20069Tzipi HotovelyLikud3318 March 201314 May 201510Uri MaklevUnited Torah Judaism3525 May 202013 June 2021References[edit]External links[edit]Wikimedia ErrorOur servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical problem.Please try again in a few\u00a0minutes.See the error message at the bottom of this page for more\u00a0information.
