    According to LTO, its record revealed that a total of 330,073 motorists nationwide were apprehended from January 1 to June 30 this year. The said numbers indicate that not all traffic violators were able to settle their infractions, so the collected amount is still expected to grow.

    Inaasahan nating mas tataas pa ito as soon as mag-settle ng penalties and fines ang mga nahuli. Kaya we are asking them to settle on time because failure to do so would only result in the payment of higher fines and penalties. In short, mas malaki ang babayaran na (We expect it to increase even more as soon as penalties and fines are settled for traffic violators. So we are asking them to settle on time because failure to do so would only result in the payment of higher fines and penalties. In short, they will have to pay more),” Mendoza noted.

    “As much as possible, we in the LTO do not want motorists to pay any fine or penalty. But in the interest of the rule of law and road safety, we have to do this if this is what it takes to compel them to be disciplined and behaved while on the road,” he added.

    LTO’s targeted revenue collection for 2024 is P33 billion.
