City holds seminars on new traffic code
ANGELES CITYβThe city government here has started conducting series of seminars for local jeepney drivers and operators to educate them on the recently passed and approved City Ordinance No. 307, series of 2012 or the New Traffic Code of Angeles City and other matters on traffic rules and regulations.
Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan, along with the Public Transportation and Regulatory Office (PTRO), the Angeles City Traffic Enforcement and Management Office (ACTEMO), the local Philippine National Police (PNP) force, Angeles City Tourism Office (ACTO) and the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) spearheaded the seminars for the 14 chapter members of the Pangkalahatang Samahan ng mga Drivers sa Angeles City (PASADA) and the Jeepney Operators and Drivers Association (JODA) in the city.
In the first seminar held yesterday at the Essel Park Common Terminal, Pamintuan vowed his commitment on improving the traffic situation of the city. He added that the seminars will cover different topics not only limited to traffic management, rules and regulations, but also on how jeepney and tricycle drivers can become ambassadors of tourism and cleanliness in the city.
βIn achieving our goals to become a world class city, I truly believe that our jeepney drivers should instill the value of discipline amongst themselves in order to attract more businesses and capitalize on our tourism capabilities, especially now since the Clark is being developed as part of a twin-airport system,β Pamintuan said.
Pamintuan discussed specifics like how drivers should conduct and even groom themselves during their work (commenting that shorts and slippers should not be worn while driving), being knowledgeable of the different heritage sites in the city and advocating cleanliness and environmental concern by simply installing small trash bins within their vehicles.
On the other hand, Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting stressed the importance of respect whenever a driver would encounter a situation that gets one stuck in traffic.
βI think that apart from discipline, our drivers should also develop the value of respect so that our streets may become more peaceful and orderly,β Vega-Cabigting said.
She then said that the passage of the new traffic code was seen as a necessary step to be taken by the City Council as the old code of Angeles is no longer applicable with the rise in the volume of motor vehicles traveling in and out of Angeles.
βFor so many years, we have been following the old traffic code, which dates back as far as 1977. But now, under the administration of Mayor Pamintuan, we have successfully enhanced the code and passed this much needed legislation which will provide a solution to the current traffic woes of the city,β the vice mayor said.
For his part, Angeles City JODA President Bienvenido Reyes expressed his gratitude and support to Pamintuan and the city government for coming up with this seminar-series to encourage jeepney drivers in participating towards the improvement of the traffic situation of the city.
βWe are truly grateful that the city government thru Mayor EdPam has agreed to work with the PASADA and the JODA to develop the capabilities and also ethical standards of both public employees such as the PNP and the traffic enforcers and of course, our drivers,β Reyes said.
During the seminar, the PNP and ACTEMO reminded the drivers on the basic traffic rules and regulations of the city. The PTRO then supplemented this by educating the participants on the newly passed and enhanced traffic code.
The seminar ended with an open forum that where participants expressed their opinions and queries to the local government officials working on the traffic situation of the city.
Succeeding seminars will be conducted at the terminals of each JODA, ensuring that all jeepney drivers and operators in the city will have been well informed. β
