Public transport operators in Chiriquí will begin the vehicle-inspection process on Monday, when Panama’s Traffic and Land Transport Authority, or ATTT, starts reviewing vehicles in the province’s selective and collective transport sectors.

The authority said it is prepared for the inspection sessions and urged drivers to keep their documents up to date. Vehicles must also be in good condition and comply with the established requirements.

Administrators of the transport companies said each organization’s inspection and license-plate distribution process will take one day, depending on the number of members it has. “We want the procedures for handing over these documents to be carried out efficiently, so that the steps transport operators must complete are appropriate and comply with the law,” said Thomas Samudio, a representative of service providers in Chiriquí.
