- Establish mandatory safety control practices on all vehicles over six years old and on motorcycles over two years old;
- Develop a policy of partnership with the private sector for the development and maintenance of road networks by considering tolling systems on certain roads.
- Facilitate the construction of a Transhipment Port to capitalize on the country's geographic assets by positioning it as a Caribbean crossroads for international trade;
- Pool resources to modernize the Port-au-Prince airport in order to have an airport platform capable of accommodating large aircraft and increase the level of air traffic;
- Mobilize the resources of the port infrastructure development fund to put into operation, in partnership with the private sector, port platforms at strategic points with a view to opening up certain communes;
