With a dedication to fostering innovation and technology adoption in Puerto Rico, PRITS strives to enhance technology integration in government operations and services while modernizing and streamlining service delivery for the public and businesses. To achieve these goals, PRITS has implemented various technology initiatives, such as the development of CESCO Digital. This mobile application allows drivers to conveniently access services provided by the Department of Transportation andPublic Works (DTOP).
