President of the University of Technology Jamaica, UTech, Dr. Kevin Brown, says the school plans to expand its night-time shuttle service for students living close to campus.
The university currently operates a service that takes students as far away as Spanish Town and Portmore in St. Catherine.
The move follows the discovery of skeletal remains believed to be that of missing student, Anisa Dilworth.
A taxi operator with the company ‘In-Drive’, remains in custody in relation to the suspected abduction and murder of Anisa.
The university staged a peace march through the streets of Papine on Monday, calling for an end to violence against women.
Dr. Brown was also joined on the frontline by Principal of the University of the West Indies, Mona, Professor Densil Williams.
He says the incident has led the university to consider other ways of addressing safety concerns and minimising violent encounters.
Meanwhile, Dr. Brown says UTech will be seeking the assistance of the Jamaica Constabulary Force to lead safety education campaigns at the annual orientation exercise coming up in August.
Further, the UTech president says the administration intends to evaluate the safety features offered by the different taxi services in the corporate area.
