The Metro Manila mayors adopted the STS through the establishment of the Metro Manila Traffic Code of 2023, which provides for a system of interconnectivity among government instrumentalities involved in the transport and traffic management in the metropolis with harmonized fines and penalties. The standardized fines and penalties will also be endorsed to the Land Transportation Office and local councils for adoption.
Also included are violations of special laws: Seat Belts Use Act of 1999; Child Safety in Motor Vehicles Act; Mandatory Use of Motorcycle Helmet Act; Children’s Safety on Motorcycle Act; Anti-Distracted Driving Act; and Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act. “The single ticketing system will help avoid confusion among our driving public, and includes an option to pay electronically for violations. Driver’s license will not be confiscated during apprehension,” Artes said, adding that apprehended motorists will be able to settle their penalties at common payment centers, like Bayad Centers, within 10 working days anywhere, instead of paying at the town or city where the erring driver was apprehended.
Artes said MMDA will shoulder the information and communications technology expenses of each LGU involved in the integration of the single ticketing system. The MMDA, he added, has sufficient funds to cover the procurement of equipment and other IT requirements needed for the seamless and simultaneous rollout of the LGUs’ integration with LTO’s Land Transportation Management System.
