Road Maintenance
All Puerto Rico roads, regardless of the network they belong to are maintained by the centralized, Commonwealth-level, Departmento de Transportacion y Obras Publicas (DTOP). Municipal governments are not responsible for maintenance of roads within their territory whether or not the municipal government is an autonomous government or not; DTOP is the responsible agency. The DTOP maintains a network of regional offices throughout the island which carry out DTOP work within their multi-municipality region. Municipal governments are only responsible for maintenance of city and town streets within their jurisdictions. On occasion, the central government has entered into MOAs with municipal governments for the collaborative maintenance of some state roadways within their municipalities.
