Quezon City- The Land Transportation Office (LTO) completed the distribution of license plates to more than 24,000 passenger tricycles in Quezon City through coordination with the city’s barangays as a distribution network.
LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II, along with Mayor Joy Belmonte and Vice Mayor Gian Sotto, led the distribution of the remaining license plates that tricycle operators have been waiting for for years.
In this way, it is said that it will be easy to recognize the colorum tricycles in the city because all of them have been given license plates.
He said, the LTO will replicate the distribution of license plates for motorcycles to barangays across the country in the next few days.
When the Marcos administration began in July 2022, Mendoza said the LTO had a 12.5-million backlog in license plates, at 9.1 million for motorcycles, and 3.4 million for four-wheel vehicles.
The LTO began producing 1 million license plates per month in late 2023, resulting in the LTO addressing the issue of license plates of four-wheel vehicles at the start of the current year.
