The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is expanding the coverage of its mobile services nationwide upon the instruction of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to bring government services closer to the people.
LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II said the agency is now finalizing the strategic deployment of the electronic patrol services based on the data of what areas would need them.
“This is part of our initiative to make all LTO services more accessible to the community. Through our e-patrol services, people even in far-flung areas can conveniently access important LTO services,” he said.
“This is also part of our goal of promoting road safety involving over 20 million vehicles in the country,” he added.
Some of the services being offered under the e-patrol services are driver’s licenses and motor vehicle registration renewal.
The deployment of e-patrol services is in line with the directive of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista to help the people comply with land transportation regulations through hassle-free transactions.
“We expand our e-patrol services so that if possible, our compatriots will no longer have to go to the LTO district offices. We want everything to be comfortable for them because this is the order of our President under the Bagong Pilipinas,” Mendoza said.
“Instead of going to LTO offices, the LTO will go to the barangays to provide services to our compatriots, especially in remote areas,” he added.
The program does not only assure comfortable and fast LTO services but will also pave the way to the people living very far from LTO offices to save time, energy and time in any transaction, according to the LTO chief.
