Nasa full gear na ang implementasyon ng Land Transportation Office sa Oplan Pasko 2022.
Ayon kay LTO chief Assistant Secretary Jose Arturo “Jay Art” Tugade, ito ay dahil sa dagsa na ang mga pasahero sa iabt ibang terminal para umuwi sa mga probinsya.
Layunin ng Oplan Pasko na masigurong ligtas na makauuwi ang mga pasahero.
“The oplan aims to help ensure the safety, security, and convenience of passengers, drivers, and all users of the country’s roads during Christmas and New Year, one of the busiest, if not the busiest, times of the year in terms of road usage,” pahayag ni Tugade.
“It is this time of the year when the usage of our country’s roads is at its peak, but discipline on the road must still be maintained so that travelers feel safe in their journey. There is no excuse not to practice of road safety. It is very important in order to avoid road crashes and injuries to people, damage to property, and of course, prevent fatalities,” dagdag ni Tugade.
Inatasan ni Tugade ang lahat ng regional offices ng LTO na palagiang magsagawa ng inspeksyon sa mga terminal.
Pinasisiguro ni Tugade ang road worthiness ng mga sasakyan, pinamomonitor ang daloy ng trapiko, at pagpapakalat ng tamang impormasyon sa mga batas trapiko para makaiwas sa disgrasya.
“In the last two years, we were not able to go to places to hold parties or go on vacation and visit our families. Now, we have the opportunity to travel, but it should be done safely so that every family can celebrate Christmas peacefully, safely, happy and whole,” pahayag ni Tugade.
