LTFRB: PUVs can now operate with online provisional authority
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) now allows public utility vehicles (PUVs) to operate using a digital Provisional Authority (PA) posted on the agency's online verifier.
This new resolution aims to streamline processes and reduce red tape, aligning with the Ease of Doing Business Act.
Previously, PUVs were required to have a hard copy of their PA to operate.
A digital copy of the PA will enable enforcers to easily verify the legitimacy of a PUV's operating papers.
LTFRB Chairperson Vigor D. Mendoza II highlighted that this measure protects drivers and operators from unwarranted flagging down.
The move is expected to allow more PUVs to operate, easing the public's transportation challenges, especially during the holiday season surge.
