In the Dominican Republic, the General Directorate of Transit and Land Transport (DIGESETT) is implementing advanced breathalyzer techniques and alcohol detection protocols. These methods were acquired through specialized training at the Civil Guard Traffic School in Spain, supported by the Inter-American Development Bank. The initiative aims to reduce traffic fatalities, noting that while 1,994 people died in alcohol-related driving incidents in 2025, this marked a 33% decrease from 2024.
