The Ministry of Communications and Works concluded its series of meetings on Anegada today with representatives from the transportation industry to further explain the new Motor Vehicle Policy, which was recently approved by Cabinet.

For the past two weeks, ministry officials have been meeting with the Livery Operators on Tortola and on the three main sister islands to discuss the aspects of the policy and give the operators an opportunity to ask questions.

As a result of the new policy, a new category of plates referred to as Livery will be introduced, under which vehicles used in services for hire, will be registered.  Such vehicles will include tours, shuttles, buses and limousines.  The proposed plates will bear the Livery insignia, along with the designated letter for the particular class, such as: “T” for tours, “S” for shuttles, “B” for buses and “L” for limousines.

As part of government’s ongoing public education campaign, Acting Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Communications and Works Mrs. Myrna Ferdinand and Chief Licensing Officer Ms. Lorna Christopher will be the featured guests on “Spot Light” a local television show aired on JTV, Channel 55 on Tuesday, September 16 at 8:00 p.m.  The public is encouraged to tune into the programme to learn more about the vehicle policy and also call in with questions.

The new Motor Vehicle Policy is part of Government’s efforts to provide safe, efficient and affordable transportation and infrastructural services to enhance community life and economic growth within the Territory.
