Louis Barton

I am Louis Barton, President of the Jamaica Association of Transport

Owners and Operators (JATOO) for over ten years.

I am married and have two beautiful daughters and a granddaughter.

Over 20 years ago I was an organizer, and I became the first Treasurer of the

National Association of Transportation Operators (NATO).

I, along with other NATO leaders went to almost all parishes in Jamaica in

our bid to organize transport operators into a strong and vocal national

organization that was to demand economic and social justice for transport

operators.

We were successful. The proof of the success is the present strong transport

associations that exist throughout Jamaica.

I went on to be associated with many different parish-based associations and

eventually organize the present national association i.e., Jamaica Association

of Transport Owners and Operators (JATOO)

JATOO is a standard of measurement when it comes to representing

Transport Operators.

JATOO represent operators to Prime Ministers, Transport ministers, Justice

Ministers, Health administrators, Transport Authority, Police High

Command. Mayors and many other public and private sector leaders.

I along with the other JATOO leaders will continue to fight for the

upliftment of Transport Operators as long as we have the support.
