ROAD SAFETY IN COLOMBIA
We continue to implement the “I bet on road safety” Program that aims to reduce or eliminate the possibility of road incidents, protecting pedestrians, the community, workers, and drivers.
The program includes activities such as satellite speed monitoring, road interventions, training and interaction with communities and neighbors, preventive inspection and vehicle insurance, raising awareness and road management training activities with transporters and drivers’ unions. These activities have brought us closer to all road transport actors in a comprehensive way.
