Around 200 Certificates of Availment have already been issued to traffic violators in Cagayan de Oro availing of the tax relief/condonation ordinance, the City Legal Office said Tuesday, December 20, 2022.

According to the City Legal Office, more than 2,000 traffic violators have applied for the said tax condonation as of Tuesday. Most of them, they added, were taxi and jeepney drivers.

 

Ordinance No. 14385-2022 grants relief to persons, who have violated traffic and parking rules in 2021 and prior years and were issued Traffic Citation Tickets (TCT) by the RTA, in a form of condonation of their penalties or administrative fines.

 

Traffic violators availing of the condonation should secure Certificate of Availment and submit it to the RTA for the withdrawal of the violation report.

 

If he or she has TCT issued for 2022, they have to be paid in full before they can avail of the condonation.

Then, they will have to secure their Certificate of Traffic Violations and Billing from the RTA.

 

The Certificate of Availment and Certificate of Traffic Violations, and the receipt for full payment of 2022 TCT, if any, will be the basis for the City Treasurer's Office to accept the payment. (JAS-CIO/Photo by Roel Felicitas-CIO)
