Transport chief says return of NCAP big win for road safety
Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon hailed the Supreme Court's partial lifting of the temporary restraining order (TRO) on the no-contact apprehension program (NCAP) as a significant victory for road safety.
Dizon stated that the NCAP's reimplementation is a crucial step towards improving road safety for motorists and commuters, provided it is implemented with checks and balances to prevent abuse.
The lifted TRO allows for the continued enforcement of NCAP on major thoroughfares where the MMDA has jurisdiction, such as EDSA and C5, but the TRO remains in effect for local streets.
The MMDA will reimplement the no-contact apprehension by Monday, May 26.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) have pledged to streamline the vehicle ownership transfer process, which Dizon noted as a challenge for issuing violations to vehicles with outdated registrations.
Dizon emphasized that the NCAP, while not perfect, will help address the problem of traffic laws not being properly implemented.
