Antipolo gov't to conduct dry run of modified truck ban starting Dec. 9

Published Dec 3, 2025 07:34 pm
The Antipolo City government will begin the dry run of its Modified Truck Ban Ordinance on Dec. 9 as part of efforts to ease traffic congestion in the city.
The announcement was made on Wednesday, Dec. 3, following months of studies, public hearings, and consultations with stakeholders and government agencies.
According to the city government, the ordinance was discussed through technical working group and committee meetings, with input from agencies including the Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DEPDev), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), Land Transportation Office (LTO), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), and the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).
The measure aims to address increasing traffic congestion brought about by urban growth and rising vehicle volume.

After the dry run period, penalties will be imposed on violators starting at P2,000 for the first offense, P3,000 for the second offense, and P5,000 for the third offense, the maximum fine allowed by law.
Unsettled violations after three days will be endorsed to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the city Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO) for further action. Repeat violators may also face additional penalties.
The local government also added that repeat violators may also face additional penalties.
Business owners were reminded that deliveries must follow approved loading and unloading hours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., in line with City Ordinance No. 2006-238.
