The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is now looking for the nationwide implementation of its new “no-plate, no-travel” policy starting by next month of this year.
The LTO said it is slowly filling the backlog of plates, especially those for motorcycles. The LTO added that the there is a problem, because a large number of the new plates are still at their warehouse, waiting for car and motorcycle dealers to claim those plates.
In the National Capital Region (NCR) alone, only 3,000 have been claimed out of the 15,000 available plates in the LTO Metro Manila warehouse. There are also a massive number of unclaimed 50,000 plates for motorcycles that still waiting to be claimed. The LTO explained that some dealers do prefer claiming plates in bulk.
The “no-plate, no-travel” policy of the LTO has been suspended last year to make way for the standardization of the program and fill the backlog of plates.--Source: The Centrio Times
