There is a shortage of drivers in the Public Transport Sector.
It is on this basis that the Ministry of Transport and other Agencies are embarking on a Drivers’ Training Programme to correct the shortage while improving public passenger safety.
The launch of the programme got underway today (Tuesday, February 4, 2020) at the Ministry of Transport.
Driving a public passenger vehicle is not necessarily a top career choice but the Ministry is seeking to change that.
Thirty drivers in each parish will be trained, after which they will be certified as professional public transportation agents.
The architects of this programme are the Heart Trust NTA and the Hope National Service Corps.
Drivers will undergo core skills training for three weeks which includes road ethics and conduct, followed by four weeks of training in defensive driving and public passenger safety.
In addition Montague says he will be seeking to amend the law as it relates to the seizure of vehicles on wreckers, replacing it with a ticketing mechanism.
