Dominican Republic student transport expansion

Overview

The Dominican Republic has continued to expand its student transportation initiatives through two primary programs. Initially, the government expanded the National Opportunities Route University Transport (TURNO) program into the northern Cibao region. During an event at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo in Santiago, officials delivered 15 buses to assist students, contributing to a planned national fleet of 90 vehicles that includes provisions for maintenance, insurance, and drivers.

Subsequently, the National Student Transport System (TRAE) added a new route in the Villa Tapia area of the Hermanas Mirabal province. This expansion, specifically benefiting the San José de Conuco sector, brought the total national coverage of the TRAE system to 838 routes aimed at facilitating student mobility and educational access.
