Davao City Transport and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO) apprehended 54 violations in an intensive operation of the Inter-Agency Council on Traffic (i-ACT) on Wednesday at Toril.
CTTMO head Dionisio Abude said on Thursday that the operation apprehended violators of the local traffic code, including those with no helmet, no license, and no franchise for public transport operators. i-ACT, launched on Tuesday, aims to address the traffic congestion of the city.
Abude said that the operation, held in partnership with other agencies including Task Force Davao, Davao City Police Office, Land Transportation Office, Land Transportation Franchising an Regulatory Board, Department of Public Works and Highways, Public Safety and Security Command Center, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and Philippine Coast Guard, aims to widen its coverage in addressing the worsening traffic condition of the city.
“During our operation, we had impounded so many vehicles, especially those who did pass the smoke emission test,” Abude said.
He said that the number excluded impounded vehicles such as tricycles, side cars and payong-payong, which were impounded at the LTFRB compound.
Abude said that the next schedule for the i-ACT is yet to be finalized.
