MANILA: The Land Transportation Office (LTO) will conduct an aggressive campaign on seatbelt usage this year.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How will the LTO carry out the seatbelt use campaign?

    The agency will roll out the initiative through strict  enforcement and information drive. 
  • Who will the LTO tap to maximize the information drive?

    The LTO will use mass communication platforms, and tap the services of citizen groups, community organizations, transport groups, schools and other stakeholders for the information drive.
  • According to Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor Mendoza II, he already gave instructions to maximize the use of its mass communication platforms to encourage motorists to follow the existing law pertaining to the mandatory use of seatbelts.

    Aside from the information drive, the LTO chief said that the campaign will still include strict enforcement through the deployment of our enforcers and coordination with other law enforcement agencies.
