Del Rio Sector’s VSP pilot was unprecedented, resulting in a total of 128 agents moving, which is approximately 10% of all agents in the sector. At the moment, there are no plans to start a second year of DRT’s VSP pilot because it would unnecessarily complicate the national swap program, along with the VRP and ROB. The pilot was ultimately considered a success and was part of the inspiration for the national swap program, which is currently running.
