LTFRB LAUNCHES ‘OPLAN BANTAY PASKO’ 2023 TO ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY

THE Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) launched “Oplan Bantay Pasko” 2023 road safety campaign to ensure safe and convenient travel during the holiday season.

The initiative is set to run from December 18, 2023 until January 3, 2024.

“Oplan Bantay Pasko,” a well-established program by the LTFRB, has become an integral part of holiday preparations for commuters and motorists.

The campaign focuses on enhancing passenger safety, promoting responsible driving, and ensuring the efficiency of public transportation systems.

As the holiday season brings an influx of travelers, the LTFRB is taking proactive measures to address potential road hazards and minimize accidents.

Through the program, the regulatory board aims to ease traffic congestion, enhance road discipline, and provide a seamless commuting experience in the region.

Enforcement Teams will closely monitor major thoroughfares and conduct random inspections to ensure compliance with safety standards.

Regular inspections will also be conducted to check the roadworthiness of PUVs, including brakes, lights, and tires. Drivers will be assessed for proper documentation, sobriety, and adherence to traffic rules.

Passengers are encouraged to be vigilant and report concerns or violations to the LTFRB hotline (083-305-9362) or through its official Facebook page.

By actively participating in the joint effort, the public can play a vital role in fostering a safe and secure commuting environment, according to the LTFRB.
