📋 Tender Overview
As part of the actions of the Superintendency of Land Transportation of People, Cargo and Goods (Sutran) for the end of the year holidays, the superintendent of Sutran, Gilmer Alvarez Zapata, holds meetings with senior management of the entity, in order to monitor the supervision and inspection actions of operational personnel within the framework of the alert due to the increase in interprovincial trips.
In this regard, Alvarez highlighted the importance of optimizing these operations, within the framework of the Safe Travel Plan Christmas 2025 New Year 2026. What we seek is to be alert to prevent accidents to safeguard the lives of travelers on national roads throughout the country, he noted.
This plan, which began on December 15 and will last until January 5, 2026, includes the strategic deployment of more than 950 inspectors in land terminals, permanent control points and mobile points in the 22 regions in which Sutran has a presence.
The Safe Travel Plan aims to intensify and strengthen inspection and supervision at these points, he said, and then call on citizens to use formal transportation, go only to authorized land terminals and board duly authorized vehicles. Likewise, he recalled that respect for speed limits and maximum driving hours must be complied with and demanded.
It should be noted that, in this context, Sutran plans to carry out more than 3,900 operations nationwide aimed at supervising authorized land transportation services on national roads and authorized terminals, as well as detecting and sanctioning unauthorized transportation services that operate on highways, informal stops, garages and outside formal terminals.
