MMDA Restarts No Contact Apprehension Policy in Metro Manila

Metro Manila's MMDA reinstates its No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) today, May 26th, 2025, aiming to improve traffic management and road safety within the National Capital Region (NCR). The policy utilizes CCTV cameras to identify traffic violations, sending notices directly to registered vehicle owners. This method eliminates the need for physical apprehension of violators, streamlining the process and reducing potential conflicts. Initially, the NCAP will focus on circumferential roads such as EDSA, C5, Commonwealth Avenue, and radial roads including Quezon Avenue and Roxas Boulevard. However, MMDA clarifies that areas with problematic traffic signage will be excluded. "We want to ensure fairness and clarity," stated an MMDA spokesperson, "so we are focusing on areas where the signage is clear and unambiguous." The agency is leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and transparency in traffic law enforcement. The successful implementation of this policy could serve as a model for other cities facing similar traffic challenges.
