House Bill No —

Introduced by Representative LORD ALLAN JAY Q. VE

EXPLANATORY NOTE,

The country’s traflic problem is not only confined in the big city streets of Manila but
also on sidewalks, and congestion is not isolated in just a few areas bul everywhere.

Irom all accounts, trafic in the metro has indeed gotten worse. The rise in car ownership
is undeniably a contributing factor.

Motor vehicle owners should be made responsible and provide proper parking for their
private vehicles, whether this is made an integral part of their facility or through a leased facility.
The street is primarily intended for vehicular traffic and should not be appropriated as personal
parking spaces for vehicles.

Uhis bill sceks to prescribe istration of motor vehicles by
requiring an affidavit of proof of the vehie Ys parking space. A validation shall be
made by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) as to the documents submitted by the
registranlowner attesting to the existence of parking facility.

This measure seeks to contribute in casing the traffic situation in Metro Mar
ensuring that the streets are free from improperly parked cars. Hence, approval of this bill is
nestly sought,

LORD ALLAXJAY Q. VELASCO.
