Communication

One of the key strategic objectives of the Trinidad and Tobago Postal Corporation
(TTPost) is the achievement of sustainable viability. The implementation of the Postal Code
system in communities, the upgrade to the fleet of vehicles, the purchase of new equipment and
upgrade of buildings are all initiatives geared at the transformation of the corporation into a
state-of the-art entity, capable of delivering a whole suite of postal and consumer services to the
residents of Trinidad and Tobago.

TTPost will embark on the following activities during the medium term, at a cost of
$34.4 million, to continue the transformation process, including:

Dispatch (CAD) with mapping and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and inter-operability
capability with Military Tactical Radio Systems.

of foreign trade through the negotiation and monitoring of the relevant agreements and treaties.
The upgrade and refurbishment of buildings occupied by Missions and construction of new ones
will continue over the three-year period and will include:
