The Antigua Barbuda Transport Board is to see major upgrades to its revenue collection and licensing procedures.
The plans were outlined in by portfolio Minister, Hon. Charles Fernandez during his contribution to the Budget Debate on Monday.
Minister Fernandez also outlined how the Government will address hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid traffic tickets.
The new Minster is on a mission to ensure that the government collects all its $600,000 owed by residents in unpaid traffic tickets.
He told Parliament on Monday that his ministry intends to tag all unpaid traffic tickets.
“From what we understand there is $600,000 in unpaid traffic tickets out there and once we can do this, we can start to collect that outstanding amount,” he said.

I hope their records are correct and up to date and I would advise persons who have paid their fines to put their receipts in a safe place. Those who have fines to pay should go poste haste as there may be penalties attached for late payments.
Good day I agree with you that they should check their books properly. A few years ago a warrant was issued for my husband’s arrest for a ticket that was already paid two years prior. After showing the receipt they left us alone until they came again about a year later saying the ticket was not paid. Can you imagine that? It is crazy to Imagine every year you have to be driving around with a ticket receipt that was paid already in your car so that the police can leave you alone. It’s just a form of harassment for some because they are neglegent in there job. Not saying they don’t have people who have not paid there tickets but do your homework before you go out harassing people.
Should a check for outstanding tickets be part of the yearly test at the Tansport Board Test Station?
Outstanding tickets equals certification of the vehicle for only three months.
A second test in three months costs the driver extra money.
If the tickets are still outstanding no badge for the vehicle.
Tickets for a driver should be a driver license issue not a car license issue.
and you expect Max to understand that ? They are acting like is the vehicle commit the offense. No wonder World Boss need Louis (from DNA) to help out.
Those that owe should pay so attached those fin s to the yearly vehicle registration and not the driver Liscene
I conceive you have observed some very interesting points, thankyou for the post.
