Mendoza leads kick-off of LTO motor vehicle registration caravan in Quezon City
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) started on Saturday, December 9, the conduct of motor vehicle registration caravans in a move to encourage owners of around 24.7 delinquent motor vehicles to renew their registration.
LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II personally led the kick-off of the caravan of the LTO-National Capital Region headed by Regional Director Roque Verzosa III in Barangay Lipunan in Quezon City, specifically at the back of the SM North EDSA.
The motor vehicle registration caravan is part of the “Oplan Balik Rehistro, Be Road Ready” program that was ordered by Mendoza after data revealed that around 65 percent of motor vehicles across the country have expired registration.
“Sa pagsasagawa ng motor vehicle registration caravan, ipinapakita ng inyong LTO na hindi lang kami puro enforcement. We are also finding ways to make our services fast and comfortable like this program which is designed to bring the services of the LTO closer to our clients,” said Mendoza.
Under the guidance of Department of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, Mendoza said the motor vehicle registration caravan will also cover the renewal of expired driver’s licenses.
“May mga kababayan kasi tayo na nasa trabaho mula Lunes hanggang Biyernes at hindi makahanap ng oras para magpa-renew ng lisensya dahil busy sa trabaho at sayang din naman nga ang kikitain,” said Mendoza.
“Sa pamamagitan ng caravan, they will be given the opportunity to renew their driver’s license at a time na wala silang pasok sa trabaho, at ang LTO pa mismo ang lalapit sa kani-kanilang lugar,” he added.
In the first day of motor vehicle registration caravan on Saturday for instance, a total of 56 license driver’s licenses were renewed while 24 delinquent motor vehicle owners renewed the registration of their vehicles in the first few hours of the caravan in Quezon City.
Aside from motor registration caravan, Mendoza earlier ordered Regional Directors and District Office heads to set up priority lanes for the registration of delinquent motor vehicles.
“We expect more vehicle owners to register their motor vehicles in the coming days because of this motor vehicle registration program that will be implemented across the country,” said Mendoza.
