Traffic violations drop since NCAP re-implemented

Since Tuesday, May 27, 2025, when the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) was re-implemented, traffic violations in Metro Manila have been declining.

On Monday, the first day of NCAP's resumption, there were 1,112 violations recorded; this number decreased to 695 on Tuesday and further dropped to 797 by Wednesday.

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) uses closed-circuit television, digital cameras with AI, and other technologies to capture videos and images of traffic law violators without the need for on-ground enforcement officers.

Captured footage undergoes manual review by MMDA personnel before issuing tickets; violators can contest these violations or pay fines online or at the MMDA office.

The Supreme Court partially lifted a temporary restraining order against NCAP, allowing only the MMDA to implement it, while transport groups have contested various aspects of the policy including its constitutionality and payment procedures.
