ROAD SAFETY
Everyday countless users travel with us, to whom we intend to provide a good travel experience and, above all, in safety.
At Globalvia Transmontana, we contribute for the prevention and road safety through our daily work, aligning two branches:
Preventive – Realization of campaigns of awareness for road safety, among children, keeping in mind that children can “influence” their parents and other members of the family, so there is a safer and more preventive driving.
Periodic – Through maintenance, reparations and conservation that we perform on a daily basis on our infrastructure, so that we can offer the greatest safety possible to those who keep us company every day. .
The safety of our people and users is our main priority!
The Driver’s responsible attitude is the main ingredient for a safe journey.
