LTO accredits the MMDA Motorcycle Riding Academy
In September 2023, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) opened to the motoring public the first-ever government-sponsored riding school with the aim of teaching riders and become safe and responsible road users.
After 7 months in operation, the MMDA Motorcycle Riding Academy (MRA) is now an accredited riding school by the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
LTO chief, Atty. Vigor Mendoza II led the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing ceremony alongside MMDA Acting Chairman, Atty. Don Artes for the accreditation of MMDA MRA last Friday, April 12, 2024.
Since the MMDA MRA is a government-sponsored riding school, it offers a FREE 2-day motorcycle training course that covers basic road emergency response, road traffic rules, and regulations, motorcycle orientation on basic parts, control and operation of motorcycles, demonstration of static and moving positions, as well as motorcycle skills practice and demonstration.
LTO Assistant Secretary Mendoza backs this initiative, stressing its significance in equipping motorcycle riders with essential knowledge to decrease accidents and promote road safety.
