Project Title: Partnership With LTFRB Thru PUV DAT For The Recruitment of Drivers
Rationale:
The Office of Transportation Cooperatives (OTC) is an attached agency of the Department of Transportation
(DOTr), mandated to govern the promotion, organization, accreditation, regulation, supervision and
development of Transport Cooperatives (TCs).
The Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program (PUVMP), the biggest non-infrastructure program of the
DOTr made to reform the public land transportation system in the country, has been implemented since it
was inked in 2017. During the initial implementation of PUVMP, we asked some TCs regarding the problems
they have been encountering with the PUVMP. We discovered that one of which is the insufficiency of the
drivers of these TCs to operate their modernized units which discourages more profits.
Being a program partner of the PUVMP envisioned to have a restructured, modern, well managed, and
environmentally sustainable transport sector where drivers and operators have stable, sufficient and
dignified livelihood, this office would like to coordinate with the LTFRB to incorporate the hiring of drivers
in their Public Utility Vehicle Drivers’ Academy Training (PUV DAT) Program through the advertisement of
TCs that are in need of drivers.
In this regard, we are looking into having coordination activities with LTFRB for the recruitment of drivers
for TCs considering that they have this PUV DAT that offers one-day training seminar on LTFRB Policies,
Road Safety, Road Rage and Anger Management, Traffic Signs and Road Pavements and Kagandahang Asal.
Problem Identification:
1. Lack of Drivers.
2. Unforeseen Effects on Operations and Income due to unexpected quitting of Drivers. (!!!)
3. Drivers Lack of Knowledge on LTFRB Policies, Road Safety, Road Rage and Anger Management,
Traffic Signs and Road Pavements and Good Grooming. OR Driver’s Lack of Theoretical Knowledge
and Professional Trainings.
