ILOILO CITY - Public Safety and Transportation Management of the Iloilo City Council conducted its last sectoral meeting at JBLFMU-Arevalo today to discuss the implementation of the Iloilo City’s Local Public Route Plan (LPTRP) to progress the public utility vehicle modernization program.

The LPTRP public orientation was graced and paneled by Col. Ulderico Garbanzos, PSTMO JV Mabilog, Councilor Sedfrey Cabaluna and Mr. Jeck Conlu.

Main points of the meeting emphasized the reduction of routes from the initial plan of 35 implemented beforehand to 24 routes due to the overlapping of jeep routing. The City Council assures that the lacking number of jeepneys is being addressed as they requested more units to be bought by the cooperatives and the Public Safety and Transportation Management.

Students, faculty, and staff of the institution sat in as participants and were given the chance to share ask their questions and concerns through an open forum.

Inclusive information dissemination to the riding public on the rationalization and modernization of public land transportation is the main goal of the meeting which is being conducted in different institutions all around Iloilo City.
