Over 7k vehicles apprehended in Feb. through LTO’s aggressive ‘No Registration, No Travel’ policy

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) revealed that it apprehended a total of 7,252 motor vehicles in the month of February alone through the aggressive execution of its “No Registration, No Travel” policy.

A total of 1,653 vehicles from the said number were impounded.

LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Attorney Vigor Mendoza II explained that the crackdown will continue in the coming days. Per the head of the country’s land transportation bureau, renewal of vehicle registration is one of the ways to determine the roadworthiness of vehicles.

“Our aggressive operation continues, so once again we call on delinquent motor vehicles not to wait for you to be caught because you will pay more and your vehicles may even be impounded,” Mendoza said.

In addition to the aggressive crackdown on delinquent motor vehicles, the agency is also implementing an intensified campaign against colorum vehicles.

A total of 243 vehicles were apprehended by LTO after being caught engaging in picking up passengers without the necessary permits from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.

From the said figure, a total of 123 vehicles were impounded.

“Let this serve as a stern warning to both the delinquent motor vehicle owners that we will continue with this operation because this involves road safety and your obligation that comes with motor vehicle ownership,” Mendoza said.

“The same warning goes to operators and drivers of colorum vehicles. We have already filed a lot of cases and we will not rest until such time that you are held accountable for your illegal activities,” he added.
