DOTr revokes protocol plates, bans sirens and blinkers

Acting Transport Secretary Giovanni Lopez ordered the immediate revocation of all protocol license plates issued to officials within the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and its attached agencies.

This directive mandates that all concerned officials must surrender their protocol license plates.

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is tasked with conducting a review of Joint Administrative Order 2024-001 and monitoring compliance.

The use of sirens, blinkers, and similar devices on vehicles is also prohibited.

The decision follows an incident where a DOTr Undersecretary was questioned for using a vehicle with unauthorized blinkers and a protocol plate.
