Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Center (PMVIC) such as Tagbilaran Vehicle Inspection Center (TaVIC) and Tubigon Vehicle Inspection Center (TuVIC) in Bohol provide savings to motorists.
This is because vehicle owners need not pay a computer fee when registering their vehicles unlike in the past.
As Bohol is one of the pilot provinces of the new LTMS system by the LTO, vehicle owners don’t need to pay the said fee, and will be able to use the LTMS ahead of other provinces.
Bohol-based PMVICs are using the new Land Transportation Management System (LTMS) system, this is the reason that there are no more computer fees.
The PMVICs are also able to conduct a comprehensive 73- point inspection process making sure a vehicle is roadworthy.
It means that there is no need for vehicle owners to get inspected anew at the Land Transportation Office (LTO), according to reports.
The new LTMS reduces the incidence of tampering within the inspection results, the reports add.
With the LTMS in place together with the Motor Vehicle Inspection and Registration System (MVIRS) module, the LTO starts to only acceptinspection results coming from PMVICs.
An internal memorandumstates that as the Department of Transportation (DOTr) already acquired the LTMS, which is intended to upgrade the information technology (IT) capability of the LTO, there is a need to change the registration process.
Furthermore, the memorandum says that the MVIRS module of the said LTMS is in place in most regions, and as such, LTO should optimize the use of the said module.
Thus, in the inspection and registration of motor vehicles in areas where there is a complete roll out of the MVIRS module, only results from PMVICs will be utilized in the registration of vehicles.
