#license plates

is reminding motorists to regularly check their vehicle's license plates to avoid being stopped when passing through CALAX. Moreover, vehicles with unnoticeable plates, no license plate numbers, and improvised plates without a permit from the LTO will also be flagged down. By complying with the rule, CALAX' Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) System will be able to read license plates that pass through the toll plazas accurately. The problem of backlogs on vehicle license plates may soon be over. The Supreme Court TRO has just been lifted and the hundreds of thousands of pending license plates can now be released to registered car owners. Both leaderships of DOTr and LTO feel that the issue of the license plates has long been overdue, compounding the concerns of backlogs in license plates. Though both agencies have yet to be furnished with an official copy of the High Court’s ruling, DOTr and LTO view the recent developments as a great help in curbing the problem of license plates in the country. The Supreme Court's ruling is a vindication for the DOTr and LTO, maintaining that the agencies have legally used government funds, particularly those from the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for the Motor Vehicles License Plate Standardization Program.
