Government to launch operation against illegal motorcycle taxi stops

The official explained that these actions are part of a strategy developed together with the National Institute of Transit and Terrestrial Transportation (Intrant), the municipalities, and organized motoconcho federations. Raful indicated that the National District and Greater Santo Domingo will be the first areas to be intervened due to the high concentration of accidents and incidents related to motorcycles registered in these territories. “We are going to start working with those of the National District and Greater Santo Domingo, which has been the prioritized sector due to the number of accidents and incidents we have seen”, said the minister. The official explained that the municipalities will have a fundamental role in the process, as they are responsible for granting the land use required for the installation of authorized stops.

Likewise, he recalled that each legal stop must have permits issued by the Intrant and comply with the requirements established to operate within the transportation system. "They are all identified and the National Police will do the necessary work," Raful affirmed when questioned about the illegal stops detected by the authorities. During the meeting with motorcycle taxi federations, issues related to driver licensing, the mandatory use of a helmet and compliance with traffic regulations were also addressed. The authorities assured that the meetings will continue during the coming weeks and announced a new meeting scheduled for June 26, where they will evaluate the progress made in terms of regulation and security.
