The Land Transportation Office in Region 7 will hold a forum in Dumaguete City on August 15 on the new law that increases the fines and penalties for colorum vehicles and other traffic violations that took effect in June.
Urged to attend the forum organized by the LTO 7 and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board 7, in coordination with the district offices of LTO Dumaguete and Bais, are operators of public utility buses, jeeps, vans and other vehicles for rent, presidents of federations or associations of motorcycles-for-hire, owners of fleet trucking services in the province, hotel transport services, and even school transport services.
Drivers and operators of “habal-habal” or single motorcycles for hire are also invited, Alberta Janine Lawas, chief of the LTO Bais District Office, said.
