The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has signed a tripartite cooperation settlement with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to accentuate the crackdown on colorum autos as a part of efforts to ease site visitors in Metro Manila.
In a news launch on Thursday, the DOTr stated the tripartite settlement was signed by Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos, and MMDA Chairman Romando Artes.
Under the settlement, the Joint Task Force of DOTr, DILG, and MMDA will conduct site visitors, clearing, and anti-colorum operations in Metro Manila.
Clearing operations may even cowl maritime, railway, and aviation sectors, in line with the DOTr.
Bautista stated eliminating colorum autos on the highway, whereas supporting professional public utility automobile (PUV) drivers and operators in addition to commuters, will ease highway congestion within the metropolis.
“Kapag naalis po natin ang mga colorun vehicles, matutulungan pa natin na mabawasan ang trapiko rito sa Metro Manila (If we remove colorum vehicles, we can help reduce traffic congestion in Metro Manila),” the Transportation chief stated.—Ted Cordero/AOL, GMA Integrated News
