LTO boosts road safety drive with schools
THE Land Transportation Office (LTO) has strengthened its alliance with the academic community in its advocacy to promote road safety through the “Stop Road Crash” campaign.
According to LTO chief Asst. Secretary Vigor Mendoza II, an agreement has been forged between (LTO) Region XI with the Legacy College of Compostela in Davao de Oro for the education and training of its students for traffic rules and regulations under the agency’s S.A.F.E. (Strengthening Advocacy for Future Educators and Drivers) Schools Initiative.
Atty. Joji Bernadette Ancog of Legacy College and LTO-Davao de Oro District Office under Regional Director Atty. Ernesto Raphael Robillo, agreed that the agency will provide the essential services of the LTO to the students and its faculty members.
Mendoza emphasized the need to maximize the coverage of the road safety education and training program to inculcate in the minds of the youth the importance of being responsible and disciplined road users.
“This partnership between the LTO and the schools is a laudable initiative in strengthening road safety advocacy and bringing essential LTO services straight to the heart of learning communities,” he stressed.
Among the services offered are free Theoretical Driving Course (TDC), Student Permit Issuance, Driver’s License Renewal and Motor Vehicle Registration Renewal.
On the part of the Legacy College of Compostela, its IT Department will be tasked to develop a digital system to track and optimize the program’s impact.
