CITOM anxious to have new computer program

The City Traffic Operations Management is now fast-tracking its computerization program in order to speed up its collectibles from traffic violations, among others.

CITOM executive officer Arnel Tancinco said the CITOM is having a difficult time calculating the exact amount of collectibles because of an outmoded computer program.

Tancinco said once the new computer program is installed, it would be easier to track the names of violators, their violations, the fines as well as the dates when these violations were committed.

"Kay sa pagkakaron, maglisud gyud ta kay naay uban nga mga violations nga nabayran na pero sa atong programs naapa siya," Tancinco said.

He said the estimated P268 million or more pending traffic fines which was estimated four years ago is not accurate since some violations were already paid while the current violations were not included.

CITOM is the city's traffic arm, which has been criticized for its alleged unpopular policies.
