Island Traffic Authority - Kingston

The Island Traffic Authority administers the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, which speaks to the testing of vehicles to ensure fitness, road-worthiness and general compliance with standards of safety. The ITA therefore plays a pivotal role in ensuring that a high standard of safety exists on Jamaica's roadways.

As a part of the Public Sector Modernisation Project, within the Ministry of Transport, Works and Housing, the Island Traffic Authority(ITA) is being transformed into an independent statutory organisation. This will see the vehicle inspection services of the ITA being privatised while the remaining activities within the Authority will be modernised.
