The director of Ground Transportation, Luis Estrella, told the Diario Libre that before the new traffic law can go into effect, legislators need to work out at least 30 sets of rules.
Estrella explained that they also need to create offices where the National Transportation Institute (INTRANS) will be housed. The headquarters would bring together the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (AMET); the Fondet; the National Office of Ground Transportation (OTTT) and the Metropolitan Office of Bus Services (OMSA).
Estrella told the reporters that once these documents are prepared they have to be sent to the Executive Branch who will be in charge of implementing them.
He explained that for before Transportation Law 63-17 can fully go into effect, the regulations need to be first presented and approved by the Presidency. He estimated this process could take at least nine months.
Social media has been circulating versions that the law would begin to be applied this week.
