CTTMO head Dionisio Abude emphasized that under the Davao City Transport and Traffic Code of 2012 or the Davao City Ordinance No. 0334-12, owners of car wash or motor repair shops are mandated to register to the CTTMO.
“It is mandated in Article 16 Section 117 of the Traffic Code stating that owners of car wash or motor repair shops should register to the CTTMO,” Abude said in a report from the City Information Office (CIO).
Abude said that the owners of the carwash and repair shops have been notified and these were already inventoried by CTTMO.
Likewise, owners of driveways and establishments using roads for public pay parking should also register.
The Traffic Code also mandated the owner of a building or commercial establishment with an existing driveway abutting a city road, street, or highway within a public parking pay zone shall pay an annual driveway permit fee of P1,000.
“Those who have driveways and a portion of the public road is open for their access are also required by the Traffic Code to register and pay an annual fee of Php 1,000,” Abude said.
Abude, however, clarified that those buildings with six-meter parking setbacks are not obliged to register. Establishing setback parking for buildings has been encouraged to prevent road obstruction.
CTTMO, meanwhile, is set to hold a seminar for the owners of auto and car wash shops and other establishments on April 27, 28, and 29 via ZOOM to guide them in the registration procedure and requirements.
Also invited to the meeting are the student driving schools and private garage vehicles for hire.
CTTMO will start accepting applications for registration on May 30 and the implementation of the inspection and issuance of citation tickets start on September 26, 2022.
Those who failed to register may face the penalty of P1,000 for the first offense, P3,000 for the second offense, and P5,000, and non-renewal of business permit for third and succeeding offenses.
