The signatories were Lingayen Dagupan Transport Service Cooperative, Tayug Pangasinan Transport Cooperative, Pangasinan Group TC, New Bayambang Express TC, La Union Transport Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Bonuan Transport Inc., Central Ilocos TSC, Laoag-Bacarra-Pasuquin Transport Group Inc., Ilocos TC,  Pangasinan Express TC, Mangatarem-Aguilar-Lingayen-Alaminos Dagupan TC; and Dagupan City Bonuan Loop TSC.
