In most developing countries, Uganda inclusive, the demand for the transport sector is very high yet the resources available to government to provide adequate transport services are limited. The growth of transport is important for the development of the economy because it facilitates trade, tourism, mobility and cultural exchange.

It has been noted that the growth of transport and communications increased by 14.4 per cent in the year 2003/04 from the previous year (UBOS 2004a).
The modes of transport in KTC are road and air. The majority of the people use road transport mainly because it is cheaper. Kitgum has a total road network of 37.69km grouped in three classes, paved, gravelled and earthed roads. The earthed roads take up only 23.96km, gravelled take up to 10km while the paved roads cover the remaining 3.73km.
