Training and Awareness Session for the traffic police officers in the North Central Province

A training and awareness session on traffic spot fine payments via GovPay was successfully conducted for the traffic police officers in the North Central Province ahead of the launch on 20th November at Anuradhapura National Youth Service Council.

Organized by Sri Lanka Police and conducted by a team of trainers from LankaPay and ICTA, the programme brought together Traffic OICs and officers from police stations across the province with the objective of familiarizing them with the GovPay online traffic fine payment workflow. Launched in February 2025, GovPay is a collaborative initiative between ICTA and LankaPay, under the guidance of the Ministry of Digital Economy.

The online traffic fine payments via GovPay is one of the best use cases for enhancing public service delivery through digitalization. The project is now spearheaded by the Digital Task Force of the Ministry of Transport. With unparalleled convenience, transparency and accessibility, online traffic fine payments via GovPay have gained traction, becoming the biggest contributor to GovPay in terms of transaction count. It is expected to accelerate further with islandwide rollout planned by the end of the year.
