The State of Mexico delegation of the National Chamber of Freight Transportation (Canacar) will focus its agenda on addressing some of the main challenges facing freight transportation in the state, including safety, overregulation and the training of new operators , said Paulina Muñoz, delegate of the organization.
Taking stock of his first 100 days at the head of the delegation , Muñoz explained in an interview with T21 that one of the first objectives of his administration has been to strengthen the relationship with the partners and resume spaces for dialogue with the authorities to promote solutions to the problems facing the sector.
As part of this strategy, he highlighted the reactivation of assemblies with members and the permanent participation in monthly security meetings, where municipal, state and federal authorities, as well as representatives of the National Guard and the Circuito Exterior Mexiquense , review the results in terms of crime incidence and the problems raised by the transport sector.
Muñoz indicated that another priority issue is overregulation in various municipalities of the State of Mexico , where traffic restrictions affect logistics operations and access to distribution centers and merchandise delivery points.
To address this situation, Canacar State of Mexico is working with the Technological Institute of Higher Studies of Cuautitlán Izcalli on the development of a technical study that seeks to document the logistical importance of the state and provide elements that allow the authorities to be aware of the strategic role that freight transport plays in the state economy.
The delegate also announced that the organization is preparing to sign an agreement with the State of Mexico’s Ministry of Labor to connect unemployed individuals with driver training schools and subsequently link them to transportation companies through job fairs. In addition, it is working on an agreement with ICAMI to offer discounted training to affiliated companies.
Regarding the challenges that the sector still faces in the state, Muñoz maintained that security continues to be the main concern , followed by the overregulation that companies face in different municipalities of the State of Mexico.
The State of Mexico delegation will seek to continue this work agenda with projects focused on strengthening the competitiveness of road transport in one of the states with the highest logistics activity in the country.
