PPA Guidelines on Port Management Transfer to LGUs

To provide revised guidelines and procedures for the enforcement of MMDA Resolution No. 02-49, Series of 2002.
To ensure the proper application of the "No Physical Contact Policy" with constitutional compliance.

Traffic violators’ images are captured using digital cameras, eliminating physical contact during apprehension.
Applies randomly to all motorists/drivers of private and public utility vehicles.
A summons or first notice is issued to the violator/vehicle owner/operator, signed by the TOC Executive Director and the cameraman.
The summons includes: date, time, location, traffic violation details, fines/penalties, and a photo of the vehicle.
Violators have 7 days from receipt to file a protest with the Traffic Adjudication Board (TAB); failure to protest is deemed a waiver and admission of violation.
Payment of fines is due within 7 days unless a protest is filed.
Payments can be made at METROBANK branches or at the MMDA Central Office Collection Division if a protest is filed.
If unpaid and unprotested after 7 days, a final demand is issued; continued non-payment leads to inclusion of the driver’s license or vehicle plate number in an alarm list and vehicle apprehension and impoundment.
Summons/notice sent via registered mail through Makati Central Post Office; copies sent daily to Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).
Mailing costs charged to violators.
Refusal to accept summons without valid reason is considered reception for compliance purposes.

Any part of the circular declared unconstitutional or invalid does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

Repeals or modifies Memorandum Circular No. 5, Series of 2003, Memorandum Circular No. 10 dated October 3, 2003, and other inconsistent issuances.

The Memorandum Circular takes effect 15 days after publication in two newspapers of general circulation.
