Abstract: The world economy has been ravaged by the Pandemic Lockdown, whose origin could be traced to China, and the world has since been stagnant from all formal activities for a longer period than initially projected, coupled with the Ukraine-Russian war. In a bid to curtail the spread of the virus, movement restriction was recommended by the world health organization (WHO), which has affected tremendously the transportation industry globally, as the industry depends heavily on mobility. This research, therefore, aimed to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the transportation industry, to evaluate the various post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery and resilience strategies adopted by the transportation. The researcher adopted the review of various scholarly publications on the subject matter, which was used to draw inferences; primary data was also collected using a questionnaire, which was subjected to analysis for hypothesis testing. The research recommends Post crises management strategies, secured employment contracts, fair working conditions, and fair salaries for transportation employees, to aid their quick recovery; proper orientation on sustainable development strategies to help reduce the severity of the Pandemic, introduction of supportable development programs at various terminals to help reduce the severity of the pandemic lockdown on the transportation industry. Finally, the government and its stakeholders should adopt post COVID-19 recovery strategies which include postponement of all dues, and direct financial assistance, to help reduce the significant impact of the pandemic lockdown on the transportation industry and its employee.
