The Municipal Government of Mayagüez is working on establishing a Public Transportation System known as “Mayagüez Transist System”. As a first step and as established in the grant agreement no.

The study lasts about 17 months. It consists of the analysis of alternatives for corridors from east to west and north to south, including starter packs, technical reports, the involvement of citizens, environmental scrutiny, among others. The preferred alternatives will be evaluated in accordance with the guidelines established by the FTA.
