BUTUAN CITY – The Land Transportation Office in Trento, Agusan del Sur (LTO-Trento) has ramped up its enforcement of Oplan Semana Santa 2024 to ensure the safety of motorists and travelers during the Holy Week period.
Trento serves as the primary entry point to the Caraga Region from other parts of Mindanao, particularly the Davao Region and Region 12 (Soccsksargen).
“This operation aligns with the nationwide and regional efforts of the LTO to implement safety measures for travelers and motorists, particularly during this significant occasion,” stated Greg Patrick Pabelonia, the head of LTO-Trento, in a phone interview on Wednesday.
Aside from the conduct of roadside operations, Pabelonia said, LTO personnel will also provide assistance desks in public terminals where travelers can bring their inquiries and other concerns.
“Part of the road worthiness we will look into are the conditions of the engines, tires, brakes, and other important components of vehicles,” he said.
During roadside operations, pertinent documents of the drivers and vehicles and road worthiness will also be checked by LTO personnel, he added.
“Starting today (Wednesday), we are expecting an increase of volume of the entry of vehicles and travelers in our region for the Holy Week,” Pabelonia said, adding that Oplan Semana Santa 2024 will last until April 1. (PNA)
