In a concerted effort to advocate for the full implementation and institutionalization of the Public Transport Modernization Program (PTMP), representatives of the Coop Chamber met with Retired Rear Admiral Loumer Bernabe, Executive Director of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB).
The meeting centered on addressing key issues faced by transport service cooperatives nationwide. Coop Chamber leaders presented a set of specific policy recommendations aimed at strengthening the delivery of the PTMP, ensuring that modernization efforts remain inclusive and responsive to the needs of cooperative operators and commuters alike.
Discussions underscored the importance of clear regulatory frameworks, accessible financing mechanisms, and capacity-building initiatives to support transport cooperatives as they transition to modern, efficient, and sustainable public transport systems.
The dialogue reflects the Coop Chamber’s commitment to working closely with government agencies in shaping policies that empower cooperatives and contribute to safer, more reliable public transportation across the country.
