In Financial Year 2018-19,  the Auditor General commissioned an audit of management systems for farm and parochial roads, in respect of RADA, the Kingston and St Andrew and the St Catherine municipal corporations, respectively. This was in a context of public concerns regarding the deteriorating state of public roads, as well as the impact on economic activity and the quality of life of the Jamaican population. Jamaica’s Vision 2030 National Development Plan identifies as a priority, the maintenance of roads based on economic and social criteria, including consideration of the relative costs and benefits of primary, secondary, and tertiary road networks.
