Dr. Francisco Alonso, Director of INTRAS, has been interviewed by Diario Libre, Dominican Republic, for its article published on November 6, 2023.

Dr. Alonso, who worked on the development of the regulations for the application of Law 63-17 on Mobility, Land Transportation, Transit and Road Safety as an advisor to Intrant, considers that little progress has been made in terms of road safety and education in the Dominican Republic and that the citizenry in front of the wheel continues to be aggressive and disrespectful of traffic laws.

Alonso pointed out that what the country needs most is citizen awareness and the application of a regime of consequences against driving infractions.

Following Alonso's participation in the " Magisterial Chair of Tourism Frank R. Rainieri", organized by the Universidad Central del Este, the Puntacana Group and the University of Valencia, the municipal authorities showed interest in developing a plan to put an end to the chaos in the East zone. Dr. Alonso advised that road safety, both for tourists and workers in the tourism sector, should be guaranteed through actions that include the training of drivers, including road safety education in schools, and to study the stretches of roads where historically there have been more accidents.
