Did you know? During quarantine, stats actually show there was an increase in road fatalities? Less people on the road and more accidents.  We urge everyone, practice responsible driving. Lives are important!

Hello again T&T! We hope everyone has been safe at home during quarantine. Remember social distancing and responsible driving saves lives!

You would think fewer cars on the roads mean fewer fatalities. We're coming back with a mission to transform T&T roadways, where all motorists and pedestrians can feel and be safe!
