Overview
The transport sector in Haiti is marked by the fact that most of the providers only own small fleets; and many times outsource transports to other private owners. Trucks available are not always well kept and services can then become insecure. Losses are often registered, also due to security situations. Traffic accidents are also common. Even if enough transporters are registered for the Port-au-Prince area, it's difficult to find adequate services in the regions where minimum acceptable standards are not always met. WFP uses private assessed transporters, and also its fleet of off road trucks, because many locations are inaccessible for local providers.
