Public Works Minister Juan Edghill on Wednesday emphasised the need for transportation systems to become more climate-resilient, environmentally sustainable, and technology-driven to improve outcomes for commuters.

He made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the International Road Federation (IRF) 13th Caribbean Regional Congress being held in Georgetown, where he noted that rapid urbanisation is placing increasing pressure on transportation networks.
