“Providing Infrastructural Services to the People of Trinidad and Tobago” “Providing Infrastructural Services to the People of Trinidad and Tobago” Administrative Report 2013 Modern Architecture Ministry of Works and Transport Corner of Richmond and London Streets Port of Spain Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, WI www.mowt.gov.tt Foreword This Administrative Report is prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 66A-D of the Constitution of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago as amended by the Constitutional Amendment Act No. 29 of 1999 whereby the Ministry is required to submit to the President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago before July 1st in each year, a report on the exercise of its functions and powers in the previous year, describing the procedures followed and any criteria adopted by it in connection therewith. In fiscal 2012/2013, in keeping with Government’s stated Seven Interconnected Pillars for Sustainable Development which identifies infrastructure as the basis for developing human capital, indigenous capacity and expanding the country’s skills base, the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure (MOWI) continued to focus its efforts on road construction, traffic management and restoration and maintenance of government buildings and facilities. In fiscal 2012/13, the Ministry received an allocation $2,174,657,500.00 of which $1,302,173,500.00 was appropriated to the recurrent budget with the remaining sum being distributed between the IDF ($793,515,000.00) and the Consolidated Fund ($78,515,000.00), respectively to undertake capital works. The main focus of the Ministry’s Capital Programme was the continuation of the enhancement and expansion of the road and highway infrastructure which included on-going projects such as the Port of Spain East West Corridor Improvement Works Programme, Extension of the Solomon Hochoy Highway from Golconda to Point Fortin and the Dualling of the Diego Martin Main Road from Victoria Gardens to Acton Court. In 2012/2013, the focus was also on traffic management measures throughout the country and included the continuation of works on the National Traffic Management System (NTMS) which when completed would provide an improved level of service to motorists through faster detection and response to incidents and through a marked reduction of traffic congestion as a result of the co-ordination of the traffic signals. i Contents Page Number 1 THE EXECUTIVE TEAM 2012/2013 .................................................................
