Santo Domingo.- The capital’s seafront will be closed to vehicles next Sunday, September 22, in celebration of World Car-Free Day, as announced by the National Institute of Transit and Land Transport (Intrant). This event is part of the 2024 National Sustainable Mobility Week, running from September 22 to 29, aimed at raising awareness among citizens and authorities about improving their quality of life through sustainable transportation choices.

Intrant’s CEO, Milton Morrison, urged the public to rethink their travel habits and work together toward more responsible and inclusive transportation options. He emphasized the importance of collective efforts to foster change.

Now in its seventh edition, National Sustainable Mobility Week promotes the use of eco-friendly transport such as public transit, bicycles, and walking. It also highlights the benefits of the city’s Integrated Public Transport System, including the metro, cable car, and buses.
