The composition of the Council, including its chairman and members, is determined by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
As specified in the April 19 decree, the Chairman of the Transport Coordination Council is the Minister of Digital Development and Transport of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The Council's members include distinguished individuals from various relevant authorities, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to addressing transportation-related matters. These members encompass:

Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
