Secretary of Transport Rodney Slater also met with the local director of the Metropolitan Transport Authority, Hamlet Hermann. He had praise for the AMET program. "I am very impressed with the express bus services," he said. He commented the DR could in the future use its telecommunications capabilities to implement Intelligent Transport Technology. He commented that the strengthening and support and sharing of know-how will continue, and Mr. Hermann is invited to the US in January to participate in transport-related activities to broaden his knowledge. The visit is part of efforts on behalf of the US government to ensure US companies are well positioned to supply transportation products and provide them with opportunity to compete on a level playing field.
