Transportation in Trinidad and Tobago

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO, 2015/07/05
Legislation for a single authority to control roads and highways is advancing through parliament in Trinidad & Tobago as the government aims to make licence issuance additional transparent as well curb uninsured driving.
Finalisation of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Bill − initial drafted in 2014 – is progressing and its full approval is expected to be high on the schedule of the new parliament that will take office next the September 7th general election.
The bill tackles some significant issues for T&T, where a relatively high standard of living and the absence of a passenger rail service mean that private cars and commercial vehicles are the major form of land transport.
