ITA working to restore services following fibre network disruption

KINGSTON, Jamaica — A break in the telecommunications fibre network that serves the Island Traffic Authority (ITA) is affecting the delivery of learner’s permits, driver’s licences and certificates of fitness as the company works to restore connectivity. In a statement on Wednesday, the ITA said it was working with its telecommunications provider to solve the issue and resume normal operations at its service hubs. This follows another disruption where the processing of Electronic Certificates of Fitness (eFitness) was temporarily halted across all ITA Service Hubs.
