OCAM is a government entity of the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico created by Chapter XIX of Law Number 81 of
August 30, 1991, as amended, known as “Ley de
Municipios Autónomos de Puerto Rico” (Law of
Autonomous Municipalities of Puerto Rico).
The purpose of the law is to assist, support and
provide resources to municipalities in order for them
to offer a clear service with excellence to their
constituents.
On November 16, 2007, during the First Summit of
Infrastructure and Safety of Western Puerto Rico, the
PR-LTAP Center signed an Collaborative Agreement with
the Office of the Commissioner of Municipal Affairs of
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (OCAM, by its
abbreviation in Spanish) to promote the participation
of Puerto Rico municipalities in the training seminars
and workshops offered by the Center. This agreement
results in benefits to Puerto Rico municipalities and
local and state transportation agencies by increasing
the exposure of local transportation officials to the
PR-LTAP Center activities.
