Road safety advocates back LTMS implementation

Road safety, transport and digitalization advocates have thrown their support behind the Commission on Audit and the COA's push for the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to fully implement the P8.2-billion Land Transportation Management System (LTMS) to shield motorists from payment of unnecessary computer fees.

Augustus Ferreria, president of the Automobile Association Philippines (AAP), agreed with the COA in pressing the LTO to utilize the LTMS to modernize the processing of transactions at LTO field offices nationwide.

"AAP endorses the full implementation of LTMS. The system brings efficient public service not just to our members, but more importantly to the country's motorists," Ferreria said.

He said the LTMS provides a "corruption-free environment that can enhance the experience of owning a motor vehicle in the Philippines."
