This project enhanced the registration and collection capability of this office. This year’s number of registered motor vehicles increased by 2,383 units from last years 31,390 units as compared to 33,773 units this year. The number of motor vehicles registered per transaction also increased from 45,620 units to 56,284 units having a difference of 10,664 units or 23.4 percent higher.
The office also conducted some seminars with the different transport groups, private institutions and most recently the local Traffic Law Enforcement Unit of this city to disseminate useful information on how to be a safe and defensive driver, and also to be aware of the traffic signs, rules and regulations being implemented by this office.
The increase in the number of units registered this year is made possible through the continuous law enforcement operations conducted this year which have apprehended 5,413 not only traffic violators but also smoke-belching vehicles compared to last year’s 4,662 or an increase of 751 violators.
For 2008, this office is committed to the rationalization of land transport services and facilities and implement effectively the various transportation laws, rules and regulations, Cortez said. – Ric Sapnu
