The Transport Department of Assam is one of the most important revenue earning departments of the state. The custodian of smooth regulation of transport services, the Department was initially under the jurisdiction of Home Department of Assam till the later part of 1950. However, as time went by, a separate Department was formed to meet the many needs of the state.
