transportation services; assessing the implication of transportation services on
investments; revealing factors hindering transport infrastructures development and
investment expansion and solicit views on possible solutions to mitigate the hindrances.
The study adopted cross section research design, targeting small and large investors in
Moshi Urban. A sample size of 100 respondents was drawn using purposive and
random sampling techniques. Questionnaires, Interviews, Focus group discussion, and
observation methods were employed to collect primary data whereby documentary
review method was applied to collect secondary data. Qualitative and quantitative data

help of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Quantitative data
were arranged in frequency distribution and percentages where comparisons were made
to highlight characteristics and relationship of the variables. Study findings were
