To optimize the school transport service in the municipality of Sosúa, the director of educational district 11-01, Juan Dionicio Mezquita Batista, held a meeting with the engineers Mélido Agramonte and José Oreste, responsible for the operation of TRAE (Sistema Nacional de Transporte Estudiantil, National Student Transport System).
During the meeting, the employees responsible for the transport service were officially introduced and a tour of the established routes took place, with the aim of ensuring the safe and efficient mobility of the students.
As part of this process, four of the total twelve buses that will be operated in the district were made available.
These buses show the routes to the drivers and highlight the most important points at each stop.
District Director Juan Dionicio Mezquita Batista emphasized the importance of providing quality and service and urged staff to act responsibly, ethically and respectfully with students.
Student transport
He also emphasized that the implementation of this program will have a positive impact on school attendance, as it ensures that children and young people arrive at their educational institutions safely and on time.
This effort is part of the Dominican Republic Ministry of Education's commitment to improve access to education through adequate and organized transportation solutions.

Flooding
It's that time again.
Another water pipe is broken.
In Sosúa, thousands of liters of the precious fluid are again lost in the section from Los Charamicos to Batey, especially near the middle steps to Sosúa beach.
Let's hope they can fix it soon.
But hey, it's Sunday, so the workmen of CORAAPPLATA are off, for them it is also the weekend.
