Task force formed to go after ‘colorum’ vehicles

Three government agencies have formed a task force to go after unauthorized cars and public utility vehicles illegally operating in the National Capital Region .

Members of the task force will have the authority to determine transportation violations within the NCR and will have the authority to use and issue violation or citation tickets. They will also be deputized by the DILG, the DOTr, and/or the MMDA when necessary. Abalos said that during the period March 12 to April 15, the composite team of MMDA and the DILG registered 56 colorum apprehensions; 44 out-of-line apprehensions; 100 colorum units impounded; four terminals operated; and three persons arrested.

“We have observed that those apprehended tend to harass or bully the operations team, but with the presence of the DILG-SPG, some have behaved,” he said. The transportation secretary also noted that the crackdown of colorum vehicles will help in resolving the traffic in Metro Manila roads.
