The Land Transportation Office (LTO) generated almost P180 million in 2024 through the strict enforcement of the mandatory seatbelt use law among motorists nationwide. LTO chief, Assistant Secretary Vigor D. Mendoza II, reported that 134,147 motorists were apprehended for violating Republic Act 8750 or the Seat Belts Use Act of 1999. The LTO plans to intensify its operations and launch an aggressive information drive to further promote seatbelt usage.
The Land Transportation Office earned nearly P180 million in 2024 in the strict implementation of the mandatory use of seatbelt among motorists across the country.
He said the rest of those apprehended are either still contesting the violation or are yet to settle the penalty but so far, around P179.9 million were already collected as fine from the violators. Mendoza vowed to sustain the aggressive operations against Seatbelt Law violators as part of the LTO’s Stop Road Crash campaign but said the aggressive operation will be complemented by an equally aggressive information drive to encourage more motorists to use seatbelts.
