Thank you, Sec Tugade, let’s get to work

THE Transportation secretary, Arthur Tugade, told the Metro Manila Development Authority and the Highway Patrol Group (HPG) to work together in managing the road traffic in Metro Manila. Others like the Land Transportation Office and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board will also, we understand, join in to operate under one chain of command. If all authorities concerned with road traffic one way or another will work under one chain of command, it will make issuing orders easy, the HPG chief, Sr. Supt. Antonio Gardiola told a press conference.

Such reorganization as well as the idea to demarcate Metro Manila into 10 traffic sectors, each headed by a director could indeed simplify management procedures and improve administrative efficiency.
