MMDA appeals TRO lifting over NCAP
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has filed an urgent motion with the Supreme Court to lift the temporary restraining order (TRO) against the no-contact apprehension policy (NCAP).
The NCAP utilizes technology like CCTV and cameras to apprehend traffic violators without direct physical flagging down.
MMDA Chairperson Romando Artes stated that the motion was submitted through the Office of the Solicitor General to help alleviate traffic congestion on EDSA, which is currently undergoing rehabilitation.
Artes also mentioned that the MMDA is considering implementing the NCAP for buses if the Supreme Court does not grant their appeal.
The Supreme Court initially issued the TRO against the NCAP in August 2022, following a petition filed by transport groups against related local ordinances in several Metro Manila cities.
Prior to the TRO, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) had also urged local government units to suspend and review their respective NCAP implementations.
