The LTO announced last year that Local Government Units (LGUs) will be transitioning over to the single-ticketing system with the first quarter of the year being the target date of implementation. As of now, the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the Metro Manila Council (MMC) have announced that the implementation of the new system has been approved.
What this means for motorists is that you will have one standardized ticket throughout the metro, no matter what city you find yourself in while on the road. The Metro Manila Traffic Code of 2023 includes this new system, and it aims to provide a system of interconnectivity among LGUs in order to unify all of the fines and penalties.
The Metro Manila Traffic Code of 2023 lists the most common traffic violation penalties, and this will serve as the guideline that will be imposed uniformly across all LGUs. As for the list of violations, these include:

The LTO announced last year that Local Government Units (LGUs) will be transitioning over to the single-ticketing system with the first quarter of the year being the target date of implementation. As of now, the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the Metro Manila Council (MMC) have announced that the implementation of the new system has been approved.
What this means for motorists is that you will have one standardized ticket throughout the metro, no matter what city you find yourself in while on the road. The Metro Manila Traffic Code of 2023 includes this new system, and it aims to provide a system of interconnectivity among LGUs in order to unify all of the fines and penalties.
The Metro Manila Traffic Code of 2023 lists the most common traffic violation penalties, and this will serve as the guideline that will be imposed uniformly across all LGUs. As for the list of violations, these include:
- Disregarding traffic signs
- Illegal parking (attended and unattended)
- Number coding UVVRP
- Truck ban
- Light truck ban
- Reckless Driving
- Unregistered motor vehicle
- Driving without a license
- Tricycle ban
- Obstruction
- Dress code for motorcycle
- Overloading
- Defective motorcycle accessories
- Unauthorized modification
- Arrogance/Discourteous conduct (driver)
- Loading and Unloading in Prohibited Zones
- Illegal counter-flow
- Overspeeding

The single ticketing system will also include other laws as a part of its implementation toward standardization.
- Seat Belts Use Act of 1999
- Child Safety in Motor Vehicles Act
- Mandatory Use of Motorcycle Helmet Act
- Children’s Safety on Motorcycle Act
- Anti-Distracted Driving Act
- Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act
Apart from unifying the LGUs, the single-ticketing system will give motorists an easier time when paying for their tickets. Instead of going to the LGU’s office, all traffic-related violations will be payable through authorized payment channels, making things easier for apprehended motorists.
Standardized fines will also be rolled out, and the new Metro Manila Traffic Code (MMTC) also has a provision for the interconnectivity requirements with the LTO’s Land Transportation Management System (LTMS). Further development in the information technology space for the LGUs and the LTO will be needed for the time being.
