📋 Tender Overview
More than 90 companies have received support to report threats.In a meeting with representatives of 12 formal transport unions and representatives of Transporte Unidos, the Urban Transport Authority for Lima and Callao (ATU), an entity attached to the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC), reinforced its commitment to technical and legal support to transporters, and promoted a coordination space that allowed for closer positions regarding the forceful measures announced by the sector.
During the meeting, convened by the ATU, the transporters presented their main concerns regarding the insecurity they face on their routes.
In this regard, the executive president of the ATU, David Hernandez, indicated that the institution does not leave transporters alone and that it has clear indicators of the legal support provided to the sector through the Asyste program, created to provide legal assistance to transporters who are victims of extortion, in coordination with the National Police of Peru and the Ministry of the Interior.
To date, more than 90 conventional transport companies have received support through Asyste, which includes legal guidance, support in the formulation of complaints and the use of mechanisms that guarantee identity reservation.
Hernandez pointed out that the ATU respects the motivations of the sector in the face of the insecurity situation, but reiterated the importance of evaluating the impact that a transport stoppage generates on citizens and the economy. When formal transportation stops, informality and bus drivers advance, he warned, after specifying that these types of measures affect thousands of citizens and generate a strong economic impact.
The ATU will continue to focus on coordination spaces with transport unions, reaffirming its commitment to accompany formal transporters and protect the right of citizens to safe and continuous public transport.
