BELIZE PROGRESSIVE PARTY: CHANGING THE SYSTEM IN BELIZE

A complete overhaul of the National Transportation industry will be conducted over the first 100 days. The BPP will enact legislations to ensure Public Transportation will be expanded to 365 days per year.

Licenses will only be granted to those operators that abide by the terms of their licenses that will require them to be offering regularly scheduled bus runs every hour from 4:00 am until 10:00pm every day.

The BPP will standardize the rates charged by bus operators to ensure our Southern routes are not being overcharged when compared to the Western and Northern routes.

The BPP will introduce and subsidize driver education.

The BPP will upgrade major highways to 4-lanes.

The BPP believe that it would be more cost-effective and efficient to build a light rail system through the Coastal Road, which would cost less upfront investment and create efficiency in the moving of goods and products between north and southern Belize, creating a reduction in cost of transport and thus cost of living for southern Belize.

The BPP will upgrade and maintain, year round, all feeder roads.

The BPP will include in the National Tourism Master Plan the upgrading and designation of the Hummingbird Highway as a scenic route, preserving all historical monuments along the highway, and putting in the infrastructure, such as lookout points and proper rest stops.
