ILOILO City – For faster response to traffic-related concerns, the city government gave the Transportation Management and Traffic Regulation Office (TMTRO) eight new motorcycles.
“Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog planned to have these motorcycles last year yet to help traffic enforcers to respond immediately to traffic-related incidences,” said City Administrator Hernando Galvez.
The eight new motorcycles boosted to 20 the total number of TMTRO motorcycles.
“Dako mabulig sang sining walo ka motorcycles,” said Galvez.
As to the proposed clustering of traffic aides that will be assigned to certain areas to monitor the traffic situation, Galvez said they will wait for the creation of the Public Safety Department that will oversee offices with interrelated public safety functions.
These offices include the TMTRO, Task Force on Anti-illegal Structures (TF Asis) and Special Services Unit, among others.
Traffic aides were given a quota on the number of erring drivers to arrest. For this May alone, Mabilog wanted them to catch at least 50.
The quota for next month of June will depend on their performance this month, said Galvez.
He also assured the public that this system won’t be abused by the traffic aides.
“Ang maga-abusar aton disiplinahon,” said Galvez.
The Office of the City Mayor’s complaints center will receive complaints should there be any, he stressed.
The complainant should get the name of the concerned traffic aide and give details of the violation such as the time it was committed, among others./PN
