Antoinette Thompson States,
I am a gazetted Route Inspector since November 1, 2019 employed to the Transport Authority and attached to the 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 Tuesday the 12th 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 Standing along Church Pen in the parish of St. Catherine.  At about 11:50 am I observed a Toyota Coaster registration number PL6655 coming toward my direction I executed the number one signal to stop to which the driver complied and I approached. I cautioned the driver asked if he was operating to which he stated “yes,” and requested his vehicle documents to include: Road Licence, Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate, Fitness Certificate, Insurance Certificate, Badge, logbook and Drivers Licence.  Destination markings for Mandeville to Kingston route were on the front and back of the motor Truck. From his Driver’s Licence he was identified Jros Mason of 599 Vidal Terrace, Marlie Mount, St. Catherine. He was wearing his prescribed uniform. There was no off-duty/chartered sign affixed. A total of 18 passengers who were identified as paying passengers were identified in the motor truck. There were the words “Hot Steppa” present on the motor truck. The front of the bus was in an iron man design.
The driver did not produce his fitness certificate, insurance certificate or motor vehicle registration certificate to me. Only his road licence and logbook were produced which were found to be up to date. Based on his road licence the graphics present were not authorized this was pointed out to the driver. I cautioned the driver and informed him of the offences and that he would be prosecuted failure to produce documents to include: certificate of Fitness, Insurance Certificate and Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate and unlawfully make or caused to be made graphics warnings or markings on a vehicle without written approval of the Authority.
