Ministry of Transportation and Communications (Taiwan)

The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC; Chinese: 交通部; pinyin: Jiāotōngbù; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kau-thong-pō͘) is a cabinet-level governmental body of the Republic of China (R.O.C.)

Until 2006, the MOTC was also responsible for regulating Taiwan's broadcasting and telecommunications sector, as well as said country's frequency allocations and spectrum management, when that function was split off into a new statutory body called the National Communications Commission.

Mass rapid transit systems are managed by local governments.

The Central Weather Bureau under this ministry handles all national meteorological operations.

The MOTC building is accessible by walking distance North West of Dongmen Station of the Taipei Metro on the Red Line.
