Mexicali, August 4.- As part of a comprehensive public policy to benefit women and children in Baja California by providing them with safe and dignified public spaces, the Governor of the State, Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda, reported that the Violeta Transport currently benefits more than 183 thousand women in the municipalities of Tijuana, Mexicali and Playas de Rosarito, allocating in a first stage a total of 18 units that allow them to travel to their schools, health centers, public offices, jobs, homes and recreation centers for them and their daughters and sons.
During the launch of the Violeta Transportation program in Mexicali, the state leader stated that it is one of her administration's main projects, as it brings women to major destinations to receive medical care, social assistance, and public services, completely free of charge.
