Do you think LGUs will agree to this?
As reported earlier, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority will authorize traffic enforcers of local government units to continue implementing local traffic ordinances and issuing violation tickets, despite a Supreme Court order to make the single ticketing system mandatory in Metro Manila. The order is“ not yet final and executory,” says the MMDA, and at least three LGUs have expressed their intent to file a motion for the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision.
“Yung mga violations naman po na wala sa single ticketing system, ire-revise po namin yung to cover as many common violations as possible para po yung maiwan lang ay purely local matter, which, under the Supreme Court decision ay na-retain po sa mga LGUs.“Kailangan nating i-reconcile yang mga traffic rules ng bawat LGU na maaaring may conflict sa single ticketing,” Artes went on. “Kasi dito satin, sa MMDA, ang single ticketing ay may window at ine-enforce natin yan.
Artes again reiterated that the mandatory use of single ticketing will not be implemented yet because a motion for reconsideration may be filed within 15 days of the decision’s release: “In the meantime, kahit nagbigay kami ng provisional deputization, pwede pa pong gamitin ng mga LGUs ang kanilang local traffic ordinance.”
