Students or alumni of accredited universities in Puerto Rico that have submitted a master or doctoral dissertation related to the management of infrastructure and transportation services this year, may qualify to receive the “abertis in Transportation and Infrastructure Management” award, company officials said.
Two years after taking over the management responsibilities of Puerto Rico’s highways PR-22 and PR-5 from the government, private operator metropistas has already invested $30 million in improvements, company officials said Wednesday.
Several entrepreneurial, self-starting projects that promote economic independence and job creation in communities throughout the northern part of the island will be receiving a boost from a collaboration between metropistas (Autopistas Metropolitanas de Puerto Rico, LLC) — the company in charge of managing Highways PR-22 and PR-5 — and the Sila M. Calderon Foundation.
