LTO E-Patrol to visit barangays soon
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) will expand the coverage of its mobile services across the country in compliance with the instruction of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. to bring government services closer to the people.
LTO Chief, Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II said they are now finalizing the strategic deployment of the E-Patrol Services based on the data that the agency will obtain as to where they are needed.
“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,” said Mendoza.
Among the services being offered under the E-Patrol Services are driver’s license renewal and renewal of motor vehicle registration.
“This is also part of our goal of promoting road safety involving over 20 million vehicles in the country,” he added.
Mendoza explained that the deployment of E-Patrol Services is in line with the directive of Department of Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista to help the people comply with land transportation regulations through hassle-free transactions with the government.
“We expand our E-Patrol Services so that our countrymen don’t need to visit our LTO District Offices. We want them to be comfortable and this is the directive of the President under the Bagong Pilipinas…It will be the LTO who will bring its services to the barangays, especially in the far-flung areas.”
Mendoza said the program does not only assure comfortable and fast LTO services but would also pave the way for people living very far from LTO offices to save time, energy, and time in any transaction like renewing their driver’s licenses or motor vehicle registration.
He said all Regional Directors and District Office heads have already rolled out the program and in the next few weeks, the E-Patrol Services will be deployed as frequently as possible across the country.
