LAND Transportation Office (LTO) chief Vigor Mendoza II on Tuesday lauded two transport groups in the National Capital Region for initiating the roadworthiness of public utility vehicles (PUVs), particularly passenger jeepneys, of their members.
Mendoza led the inspection at the terminals of the Basicano Transport Se vice and Multi-Purpose Cooperative and the Divisoria Monumento Novaliches Recto (DMNR Inc.) in the Caloocan-Novaliches area on Tuesday.
“The two transport groups initiated the request for inspection and this only shows good and responsible leadership as well as genuine concerns for their passengers, on the part of their leaders and
members,” he said.
“We thank them for their trust to the LTO and concern for the passengers and love for their job,” he added.
The inspection is in line with the directive of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista to ensure the roadworthiness of all P UVs as part of the road safety campaign.
As soon as the request for inspection was received, Mendoza immediately set up a schedule with the transport groups in their terminals on Tuesday.
The L TO personnel brought with them mobile emission testing machines and other equipment to check the road worthiness of their PUVs.
The leaders of Basicano Transport Service and Multi-Purpose Cooperative and the DMNR Inc. expressed gratitude to Mendoza for granting their request of the one-time big-time roadworthiness inspections.
The activity was also taken as an opportunity to facilitate the renewal of the motor vehicle registration as well as other LTO-related transactions of the members.
