LTFRB plans amnesty to help colorum operators become legitimate
The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) is considering offering an amnesty program for "colorum" (unfranchised) public utility vehicle drivers and operators starting January 2026.
This initiative aims to provide an opportunity for those operating outside the legal framework to obtain a franchise or provisional authority and become legitimate public transport services.
LTFRB Chairman Vigor Mendoza III stated the goal is to ensure sufficient transport services for commuters and help these individuals "straighten their livelihoods."
The program will require an initial headcount of colorum vehicles to prevent an oversupply on the roads.
Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez clarified that the amnesty will not apply to vehicles that do not pass roadworthiness checks.
