LTFRB to start MTPP, motorcycle taxi drivers accreditation on August 5

The Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) announced that it will begin accrediting motorcycle taxi platform providers (MTPP) and issuing applications for motorcycle taxi riders starting August 5, 2026. This process includes granting a Provisional Authority to Operate as a Motorcycle Taxi Rider. No new players will be allowed to join due to limited slots approved by the Technical Working Group. Chairman Mendoza emphasized that the accreditation would follow the rider caps set by the Motorcycle Taxi Technical Working Group. The initiative aims to create a more organized and efficient public transportation system, aligning with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s goals. Earlier, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) had suspended the onboarding of new drivers and riders due to concerns over exceeding allocated limits, though existing franchise holders remained unaffected.
