However, MMDA is also developing its “No Contact Traffic Apprehension” policy, which uses CCTVs and other technologies to capture images and videos of vehicles that violate traffic laws.
When you are caught via the “No Contact Traffic Apprehension” policy, you will receive your MMDA ticket through the email address registered to your license plate or driver’s license.
Additionally, you can easily check if you have committed any traffic violations through MMDA’s May Huli Ba? website. You only need to enter your plate number, and the website will display the details of the violation/s committed, if any.
You need to pay for your MMDA ticket within 7 days after you’ve received the notice, whether through e-mail or through a physical ticket.
If you don’t pay for your ticket, or if you pay for it late, your vehicle plate number will be put in an Alarm List and reported to the LTO with a request that your vehicle registration and driver’s license not be renewed until you’ve settled all of your penalties and fines.
