The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is aiming for full utilization of its Land Transport Management System (LTMS) by August to help fast-track the delivery of the agency’s different services for the public.
During recent deliberations by the House Committee on Transportation, LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Jose Arturo Tugade reported that the services to be offered under the LTMS are 100% ready to use. These are the following:
- Driver’s Licensing System (DLS)
- Renewal processing of Motor Vehicle Inspection & Registration System (MVIRS)
- Law Enforcement & Traffic Adjudication System (LETAS)
- Revenue Collection System (RCS)
- Portal (front-facing application used by the general public)
- Online Application & Appointment System (OAAS)
- Executive Information System (EIS)
Tugade said the agency has issued a memorandum circular instructing the public about exclusive use of the LTMS for renewing the MVIRS certificate to prevent the overlapping of systems.
He also said the settlement of traffic violations through the Law Enforcement Handheld Mobile Devices system will be available by April 30, 2023, according to an LTO statement on Facebook.
In addition, the LTO is pilot-testing the new registration module for the MVIRS in three new registration unit (NRU) sites and will be made available to all 51 sites in the country by July 30, 2023.
Tugade said while there are several modules in the LTMS still being completed, the agency will make sure the system is ready for full utilization by August this year.
From there, he said, transactional data from the old system of Stradcom will be migrated to the Department of Information and Communications Technology then transferred to the agency’s current provider Dermalog.
“Once this is complete, the old system will be removed and the LTO will only use the LTMS,” the LTO chief explained.
Tugade assured House representatives that “all regional directors are aligned with the agency’s mission” after being asked by the committee on the issue of some regional directors reportedly being uncooperative in accepting the LTMS.
