Santo Domingo’s National Institute of Transit and Land Transportation (INTRANT) is poised to significantly enhance its traffic management systems through a strategic knowledge-transfer initiative with New York City’s transportation experts. This capacity-building program, designed to modernize mobility infrastructure and improve road safety across the Dominican Republic, represents a concrete implementation of existing cooperation agreements between the two nations.
The collaboration was formally advanced during a technical exchange visit led by INTRANT Director Milton Morrison alongside New York Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodríguez. The Dominican delegation conducted an extensive tour of NYC’s Traffic Management Center and Office of Emergency Response facilities, where they observed cutting-edge operational methodologies firsthand. American specialists demonstrated comprehensive systems utilizing real-time traffic monitoring technologies, automated signal control mechanisms, digital surveillance networks, and coordinated emergency response protocols.
As a core component of this initiative, Dominican technical personnel will receive direct training from seasoned NYC transportation veterans, including renowned traffic technology expert Mohamad Talas. This knowledge transfer aligns with the broader objectives of the Dominican Republic’s national mobility improvement strategy, known as ‘RD Se Mueve,’ which prioritizes the modernization of traffic management systems and the enhancement of roadway safety measures throughout the country. The program signifies a meaningful step toward establishing more efficient, technology-driven transportation infrastructure in the Caribbean nation.
