The Ministry of Transport (Spanish: Ministerio de Transporte) is the national executive ministry of the Government of Colombia responsible for charge of regulating transportation in Colombia.
History
The Ministry of Transport was created in 1905 during the Presidency of Rafael Reyes under the name of Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transporte or Ministry of Public Works and Transport with the main function of taking care of national assets issues, including mines, oil (fuel), patents and trade marks, railways, roads, bridges, national buildings and land without landowners.
In the early 20th century roads and highways maintenance and construction regulations were established. Rivers were cleaned, dragged and channeled and the navigational industry was organized. The Public works districts were created, as well as the Ferrocarriles Nacionales de Colombia (National Railways of Colombia). Among other major projects developed were the aqueduct of Bogotá, La Regadera Dam and the Vitelma Water Treatment Plant. The Ministry also created the National Institute of Transit (from the Spanish Instituto Nacional de Tránsito), (INTRA) under the Transport and tariffs Directorate and was in charge of designing the first National roads plan with the support of many foreign multinational construction companies.
The Ministry of Transport (MoT) of Ghana was created in January 2009. The ministry is responsible for the infrastructural development and service delivery in Ghana's transport industry.
History of the Ministry
The ministry was formed from former agencies of two government ministries namely the Ministries of Roads and Highways and the Ministry of Transport and Communication in 2001 by the John Kufuor administration. After the merger, it was known as the Ministry of Roads and Transport. This name was changed in 2009 to the Ministry of Transport by the John Atta Mills administration. The purpose for the agency merger was to create an autonomous ministry that could effectively formulate and coordinate transport policies for the country.
Scope of the Ministry
Over ninety percent of Ghana's international trade depends on the country's sea ports namely the Tema Harbour in the Greater Accra Region and the Takoradi harbour in the Western region. The ministry is responsible for the effective running of these trade entry points so that the economy of the country can develop. The Ministry is also responsible for formulating and co-ordination of aviation and highway infrastructure policies. The activities of the ministry covers both the private and public sectors of Ghana's economy. The creation of favourable environment for investment into the country's transport industry is also a function of the ministry.

TheColumbia is one of the first breeds of sheep developed in the United States. The product of USDA and university research, it was intended to be an improved breed specially built for the Western ranges of the country (where the majority of sheep raising takes place). Beginning in 1912 in Laramie, Wyoming, Lincoln rams were crossed with Rambouillet ewes. In 1918, the foundation flock was moved to the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station near Dubois, Idaho, for further refinement. Today's Columbia is a popular breed, with heavy, white fleeces and good growth characteristics. It is one of the larger breeds, and is often used for cross breeding in commercial western flocks.
Characteristics
Adult rams weigh between 275 and 400 lb (125 and 181 kg), while females weigh between 175 and 300 lb (79 and 136 kg). An average fleece from an ewe weighs from 10 to 16 lb (4.5 to 7.3 kg) with a yield of 45 to 55%. The staple length of the wool ranges from 3.5 to 5 in (8.9 to 12.7 cm). The wool is classified as medium wool with a spin count of 50s to 60s. The wool varies from 31.0 to 24.0 microns.
