QUEZON CITY, (PIA) -- The pilot implementation of the single ticketing system for traffic violations in the National Capital Region (NCR) is underway starting today, May 2.
According to MMDA spokesperson Melissa Carunungan they will first test the system in selected areas to determine any lapses or adjustments before launching it in the entire region.
Seven cities in Metro Manila should have participated in the pilot implementation including Manila, Quezon City, Parañaque, Muntinlupa, Caloocan, Valenzuela, and San Juan.
"This will be a great relief for motorists because within the single ticketing system, the top 20 most common traffic violations have uniform fines, contesting procedures, and digital payment platforms such as GCash, Maya, and Landbank," said Carunungan
The Metro Manila Traffic Code of 2023, which will serve as guidelines for the system, includes penalties for the following traffic violations:
- Disregarding traffic signs
- Illegal parking (attended and unattended)
- Number coding UVVRP
- Truck ban, light truck ban
- Reckless driving
- Unregistered motor vehicle
- Driving without license
- Tricycle ban
- Obstruction
- Dress code for motorcycle
- Overloading
- Defective motorcycle accessories
- Unauthorized modification
- Arrogance/discourteous conduct (driver)
- Loading and unloading in prohibited zones
- Illegal counterflow, and
- Overspeeding.
The fine for violations ranges from P500 to P5,000, according to the MMDA.
Carunungan said the MMDA will also deploy 900 enforcers for the implementation of the single ticketing system. (PIA-NCR)
