Hon. Alejandro García Padilla

Governor of Puerto Rico

La Fortaleza

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Dear Mr. Governor:

I represent InternaJonal Traffic Safety Systems, a company contracted by the 

Department of TransportaJon and Public Works to establish SIMONE. Even 

though we established recently in Puerto Rico, ITS is supported by the 

NaJonal Public Safety ConsorJum. This enJty groups 17 companies with 

presence in 183 countries and vast experience in traffic control and safety 

systems. At present, there are 31 Puerto Rican employees among ITS staff.

I am wriJng to you to clarify incorrect informaJon that has been provided to 

the media outlets, and that due to our contract with DTOP, we are unable to 

publicly correct.

ITS has fully complied with the contract it executed with DTOP to establish 

SIMONE, a sensor camera system that detects violaJons of the Traffic Act. We 

have complied not only with the leMer and spirit of the contract, but also have 

gone beyond our duJes to address issues with the implementaJon of the 

system which are the agency’s responsibility. We are disappointed by the 

Secretary’s decision with regard to the contract and the manner in which it 

has been disclosed to the media outlets without formal communicaJon from 

our company. In fact, to this day we have not received an official 

communicaJon from the agency.

We are proud of the work performed by our team of Puerto Rican 

professionals and as an honest and transparent company, we are open to 

answer any quesJons regarding the work performed. I will also take this 

opportunity to provide you with important details that may give you more 

context of what has been reported by the secretary to the media.

Relevant data:

• Review process – The process was fully established by DTOP, ITS was 

not involved in the drabing thereof.

• Customer Service Phone Number – Since November, the customer 

service phone number has been (787) 709-4614. It is clearly shown 

in the noJce of violaJon received by ciJzens under the Right to 

Request Review secJon. This is a local number and is serviced by 

operators in Puerto Rico. It is also available at www.simonepr.com

and in the informaJve documents approved by DTOP. The agency 

had knowledge of that change.

• Public Awareness and InformaAon – Because of the contract, DTOP was in charge of the enJre process 

of informing and raising the public’s awareness of the project. We were instructed to make no public 

statements. We took no part in the launching or in the process of informing the people of the 

implementaJon of the project.

• Investments not contemplated in the contract – According to the contract, ITS is responsible for 

installing equipment such as cameras and sensors, monitoring intersecJons, providing customer 

service, and mailing noJces of violaJons . However, at the agency’s request, we have had to assume 

the cost of condiJoning and signalizing the intersecJons where SIMONE is installed. For example, the 

esJmated cost of these works for the next four intersecJons is approximately $70,000.

• Bureaucracy and delays in decision-making – The implementaJon of a system such as SIMONE requires 

effecJve interagency coordinaJon. This coordinaJon has been almost inoperaJve. For example, we 

have been waiJng since November for DTOP to coordinate with the Electric Power Authority to work 

on the electrical installaJon of the fixed camera that was required for PR-17 in front of the Gabriela 

Mistral School.

o Likewise, the leMers to drivers who have requested review regarding the eliminaJon of 

Jckets, incorrect payments, refunds, and others, have not been mailed because DTOP 

has not approved or process the drabs sent thereto.

These are just a few examples. Our wish is to conJnue rendering services to the government of Puerto Rico and 

share out experJse in the implementaJon of a road safety system that will benefit all ciJzens. Thus, we request a 

meeJng where we can clarify and state our posiJon regarding the events that have led the secretary to propose 

the cancellaJon of the contract and refunding the fines paid. According to the contract, these are validly issued 

Jckets for violaJons of the law commiMed by drivers.

The decision made by the Secretary causes irreparable harm to our reputaJon as a mulJnaJonal business that 

decided to do business in Puerto Rico; it also endangers the substanJal investment of capital we have made to 

date.

We trust in our system, which have been recognized as one of the most reliable systems in the industry. We are 

certain that you will act fairly in benefit of all parJes involved. 

Sincerely,

[Illegible signature]
