Collaborating with the local community is one of the principles underpinning our P3 projects. To ensure the safety of road users on the Pamplona-Cucuta Highway we have developed a road safety campaign.

Under the slogan “Respect saves lives”, the campaign’s objective was making users aware of the importance of respect, which is the main basis for good road safety behaviors. Some of the aspects addressed were respect for speed limits, traffic rules, as well as for users, authorities and people who work daily on the highway. Moreover, we handed out reflective vests and flashlights, which are useful tools in the event of an accident or breakdown.

In addition, we have also collaborated in a school rehabilitation in the vicinity of Rumichaca-Pasto Highway, in the south of Colombia. A group of 20 employees of our concessionaire Vial Unión del Sur supported the rehabilitation of the Santa Teresita de Catambuco Municipal Educational Institution. They oversaw painting the walls with materials donated by the concessionaire. This school has only 10 students, but it is also relevant as a meeting point for local events.
