Transport Sec Dizon: NCAP continues despite EDSA rehab delay

Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon stated on Monday that the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) will continue despite the postponement of the EDSA rehabilitation project.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced over the weekend that the EDSA rehabilitation, originally scheduled to start on June 13, would be delayed for one month to explore new technologies that could expedite the process.

Dizon emphasized that NCAP is not solely about EDSA but aims to enforce traffic rules more efficiently, with MMDA Head of Special Operations Gabriel Go stressing the importance of following Supreme Court orders and ensuring road safety.

Transport groups have called for the suspension of NCAP implementation, citing concerns over heavy fines and the need to address issues such as poorly functioning traffic lights before enforcing strict penalties.

Different transport organizations are united in their opposition to NCAP, with some planning to request a temporary restraining order (TRO) from the Supreme Court to halt its enforcement.
