CDB studying initiative to better public road transport in the region

Linking road networks in the several Caribbean territories a priority

The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) is reportedly readying itself to take on what may well be the most demanding assignment in its history: improving public road transport in the region.

A recent Trinidad Guardian report cited the Barbados-based CDB as saying that its ambition of significantly improving roads across member countries of the region is aimed, simultaneously, at “increasing administrative capacity, implementing cashless payment systems and user information portals as well as enhancing accessibility for vulnerable populations,” as part of a comprehensive framework aimed at sustainably improving public road transportation in the region.
