Vehicle Inspection Procedure
- Taxi units must undergo inspection and roadworthiness testing at designated MVIS centers: North MVIS in Quezon City or South MVIS in Pasay City.
- The roadworthiness tests are mandatory and serve as a prerequisite for registration renewal starting January 1, 1993.
Enforcement and Penalties for Non-compliance
- Taxi units deemed unfit for public service but found operating will be subjected to impoundment.
- Release of impounded vehicles will require payment of corresponding fines or penalties.
Coordination with Regulatory Authorities
- The Chief of the Land Transportation Enforcement Section (LES) is tasked to forward MVIS reports and related Taxi Arbitration System (TAS) Judgments to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).
- This submission accompanies applications for suspension or cancellation of the taxi unit’s Certificate of Public Convenience when warranted.
Supersession and Compliance
- All previous issuances inconsistent with these provisions are superseded or reversed.
- The order mandates strict compliance to ensure road safety and protect the riding public.
Key Legal Concepts
- Roadworthiness Certification as a condition precedent to registration renewal.
- Administrative coordination between the Land Transportation Office (LTO), LES, and LTFRB.
- Enforcement measures including impoundment, fines, and regulation of Certificates of Public Convenience to maintain service quality and safety.
