The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has formed a special review committee for the Public Transport Modernization Program (PTMP) to address concerns from various transport groups.

The committee, chaired by the DOTr Undersecretary for Road Transport and Non-Infrastructure, will consult with stakeholders, evaluate the PTMP's progress, and identify issues.

Special Order No. 2025-0152, signed by DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon, outlines the committee's mandate.

The committee includes representatives from the Office of Transportation Cooperatives and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief.

It is expected to submit recommendations to Secretary Dizon next week.

This action follows a three-day transport strike by the Manibela group protesting the PTMP's implementation and alleged data misrepresentation by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.
