Propuesta de traducción:

agree  Carol Gullidge: or would simply "national" or "nation-wide" work instead of inter-province??///mmmh....it was just a thought. I tend to go for the simplest solution where poss - but maybe not in this case....

  -> funny that you ask as this question has occurred to me in other contexts. But if you say nationwide, couldn't that just include any bus, anywhere within the national borders, whether or not it was permitted to cross state or provincial borders?

Explanation:
Interstate Transport is one of the fastest growing logistics companies in the United States. Acknowledged as one of the top 30 largest third party logistics providers in the United States by Transport Topics, we are the recognized leader in the management of Florida inbound and outbound freight - controlling more Florida freight than ANY other shipper - and we control more live goods freight (plants and trees) than any other logistics company in the country. Interstate also operates a Disaster Freight Management Center (DFMC) in Saint Petersburg, FL (with a co-located DFMC facility in Georgia) and hosts a leading food logistics management division. Our load volume is in the "tens of thousands" of loads per year.

inter-provincial transport of people and goods


Explanation:
This is almost the same as David's but passengers implies public transport and I'm not convinced it just refers to that since they're talking about a toll.

Also it doesn't sound like you did the actual translation. I would be wary of straying so far from the original text. Although the information communicated is basically the same, the text is quite different and has some additions I would question.
Perhaps:

The implementation of the “Zero Tolerance” Control Program at Toll Stations, by Supreme Decree Nº 035-2006-MTC, on October 30, 2006 seeks to ensure and control basic safety conditions in the inter-provincial transport of people and goods.

good luck!
