Antoinette Thompson States,
I am a gazetted Route Inspector since November 1, 2019 employed to the Transport Authority and attached to the Southern Regional Office located at Swansea Satellite Office, Osbourne Store, Clarendon. My duties as an Inspector include the monitoring and regulating of public passenger vehicles and prosecuting for breaches of the relevant Road Traffic enactments. 
On Friday the 8th day of September 2023 I reported for duty at 6:00 am, I was briefed accordingly by my supervisor and dispatched on a summons operation that was scheduled to take place on the said day. I was accompanied by fellow inspectors, members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force attached to the Transport Authority and a Justice of the Peace for the parish of Clarendon.  All members of the Transport Authority and Jamaica Constabulary Force were properly attired in our respective uniforms. My duties for the day entailed Inspection of PPV’s documents and drivers to ensure compliance as stipulated under the Transport Authority and Road Traffic Acts and Regulations. 
I along with the team assigned were conducting vehicle documents inspection along Church Pen Road in the parish of Clarendon.  At about 11:13 am I observed a Toyota Coaster registration number PF8076 coming toward the direction in which I was standing. I executed the number one hand signal to which the driver complied. I approached the vehicle where I observed that it was laden with passengers. Destination markings for May Pen to Kingston route were on the front and back of the vehicle. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified as Michael Charlton of 36 Duncans Pen Road, Spanish Town, St. Catherine. 
I cautioned the driver and questioned if there was a conductor on board and the driver replied there was none on board. I asked the driver if he had signed the logbook and he stated, “No, there was none on board.” I informed him of the offence and that he would be prosecuted for failure to keep a logbook in the vehicle at all times.
Summonses were prepared and served to appear before the Old Harbour Traffic Court on Friday November 10, 2023. He accepted and left.
