LATIN AMERICAN DG REGULATIONS
SUMMITS OF THE AMERICAS
Prepare a profile, with the cooperation of United
Nations Economic Commission on Latin-American
and the Caribbean (ECLAC), of regional
transportation systems and services taking into
account agreements, decisions, projects and
studies already prepared by regional and
hemispheric organizations.
INFRASTRUCTURE & TRANSPORTATION
SUMMITS OF THE AMERICAS
Such a profile will identify the main problems and
opportunities faced by the countries in the
Hemisphere as a first step toward establishing
regional transportation priorities and policies, with
respect to, among other things, the harmonization of
standards and the exchange of technology. (Plan of
Action Santiago, 1998).
STRATEGIES
Integrate air, land, and sea transportation policies and practices both across modes and between countries in the region
Improve transportation safety and security, and reduce transportation-related fatalities and injuries through the implementation of agreed regulatory standards
Enhance efforts among member countries to prevent transportation-related disasters
STRATEGIES
Improve transportation information exchange and dissemination among countries (Capacity-Building Seminars)
An adequate transportation infrastructure must be developed and maintained
Increase the sharing of transportation information and data among countries
