eGovPH app notifies, penalizes traffic violators

Motorists in Metro Manila will soon be able to view and settle traffic violations through the government's eGovPH super app as announced by DICT Undersecretary Dave Almirol Jr. during a press briefing at Malacañang on Wednesday.

Under the no contact apprehension policy (NCAP) system, motorists will receive notifications via eGovPH and be able to see their traffic violations along with video evidence from MMDA cameras, settling penalties directly through the app.

The NCAP uses CCTV cameras along major thoroughfares such as EDSA and Commonwealth Avenue to monitor and penalize traffic violations, encouraging driver discipline and reducing congestion.

eGovPH is a single platform where users can access their digital government IDs and conduct transactions with various agencies like PhilHealth and GSIS, while e-Government Data Exchange Platform (eGovDX) connects different government systems for smoother information sharing.

The MMDA's NCAP enforcement resumed last week after the Supreme Court partially lifted its 2022 order suspending it, and the single ticketing system standardizes fines and penalties for common traffic violations across agencies.
