TRICYCLE ROUTE PLAN 2021-2022

THE Dagupan Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) passed a resolution adopting the Tricycle Route Plan 2021-2022 in compliance with the Memorandum Circular of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

The resolution, authored by Councilor Karlos Reyna, chairman on the committee on Transportation and Public Utilities, and Majority Floor Leader Michael Fernandez, underscored the objectives of the Tricycle Route Plan that prohibits tricycles, pedicabs and motorized pedicabs from operating along the national highways.

Last week, Reyna’s committee conducted a public hearing among tricycle operators, drivers and other stake holders about the DILG-MC No. 2020-036 that strictly prohibits tricycles, pedicabs and motorized pedicabs from operating along all national highways in the entire country.

The hearing discussed the TRP 2021-2022 for the purpose of modifying it consistent with the concerns of drivers, operators and other stakeholders.

The city police and the Public Order and Safety Office (POSO) have been tasked to enforce the TRP. (Leonardo Micua)
